COMPACT Safety Light Curtains are active optoelectronic protective devices (AOPD) type 4 according to EN 61496-1, -2 and/or IEC 61496-1, -2.

The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver, and is obtainable as a light curtain with 14 mm and 30 mm resolution. Its range of functions is flexible and can be extended at will by the use of external interface modules of the MSI series.

The well established COMPACT Safety Light Curtain is now available as the COMPACT EX 1, which is suitable for use in areas where there is risk of explosion either in zone 2 (gas) or zone 21 (dust) or as the COMPACT EX 2, which is suitable for use in areas where there is risk of explosion either in zone 2 (gas) or zone 22 (dust).

Special features
  • Fault-free operation of adjacent devices with selection of different transmission channels

  • Maintenance-free with safety transistor outputs (OSSDs)

  • MultiScan for environments with extreme stray light (e.g. welding sparks, flash lamps)

  • Several devices can be cascaded

  • Integrated auto-diagnostics system for simple on-site diagnostics and PC-supported diagnostics in the workshop
