MS4800S-20-0760-10X-10R-RM2AP

Light curtains are an important component in machine safety systems, protecting operators and personnel from unexpected injuries when working in close proximity to automated machinery.

The MS4800S-20-0760-10X-10R-RM2AP is a particular light curtain model from Safety Technologies that has been designed for general industrial applications. The light curtains meet the performance requirements of the European standard EN 61496-1 for safety of machinery, and they provide a safe stop function if the sensor detects an obstruction.

The MS4800S-20-0760-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain has a detection range of up to 4.8m and a resolution of 7.6mm. It has an active row of 20 optical elements and a transmit-receive type of receiver which can detect even the smallest object from up to 4.8m away. The light curtain is also designed to be very durable and is approved for indoor use. It is also certified for EMC and UL standards.

The MS4800S-20-0760-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain can be used in many industrial applications such as packaging machines, printing machines, woodworking machines, and for guarding access to dangerous areas. It is easy to install, simply requiring the user to connect the power wires, and the light curtain will start to work immediately.

The working principle of the MS4800S-20-0760-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain is relatively simple. The system consists of an active row of optical elements, and a receive-transmit type of receiver. When a person or object passes through the light curtain, the optical elements emit a beam of light. This beam is then picked up by the receiver, which triggers a safety device (such as a contactor, light switch, etc.), initiating a safety stop function of the machinery or a warning signal.

The light curtains are equipped with an internal diagnostics circuit which can detect any fault in the receiver, optical element, or cable assembly. If a fault is detected, the light curtain will shut off and a fault indication will be displayed on the control panel.

The MS4800S-20-0760-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain is an effective safety device for any general industrial application, providing a safe and reliable way to protect personnel from unexpected injuries caused by hazardous machinery.
