Basic Information

Introducing Type 2 Ultra-slim Light Curtains!
Featuring easy installation and reduced wiring

UL,CE,CSA,TUV,UKCA Approved

CE : Machinery Directive, EMC Directive
UKCA : Machinery Regulations, EMC Regulations
UL, CSA : Certified by TÜV SÜD America Inc.

Features

Slim size for efficient applications

Available work space is expanded from the previous model, and productivity is improved.

Simple safety distance calculations

Recalculation of the safety distance is unnecessary for each time safety light curtain length is changed.

Safety Distance SF2C-H□ : 128 mm 5.039 in (Calculation based on ISO 13855)

Dramatically less wiring work with optical synchronization

Safety light curtain wiring consists of just five wires each for the emitter and receiver, allowing you to easily implement safety measures in about the same amount of time as with an area sensor with using optical synchronization.

Beam axis alignment made easy

The emitter has an effective aperture angle of ±5° or less for an operating range of 3 m 9.843 ft. Compared to Type 4 safety light curtains (which have an effective aperture angle of ±2.5° or less), the SF2C series is easy to align and install.

Easy installation

The standard mounting bracket is already mounted for easy installation.

Can be used in a variety of applications for simplified equipment [Large multi-purpose indicator]

The bright LED indicators located in the center of both sides of each safety light curtain can be light on / blink in orange with external inputs. There is no need for setting up a separate indicator, so that equipment is consolidated.

Light weight!

The SF2C series is made of resin that is lighter than the conventional aluminum case type*.
Its lightweight body eases the burden on the mounting surface of the equipment and contributes to overall reduced weight during equipment transportation or overseas shipment.

*Except the cable part

Protection structure IP67

An IP67 (IEC) rating is achieved even in an ultra-slim resin body using a laser welding method.

A fast response time for all models

SF2C-H□: 20 ms
The SF2C series reduces the safety distance as well as the calculation work required for the safety distance among models with different beam channels.

Material suitable for manufacturing a secondary battery

SF2C body is made of resin and the mounting bracket is made of Stainless Steel (SUS), so materials used are limited. Suitable for manufacturing secondary batteries or for food production equipment.

Product configuration

*1 The SF2C series does not incorporate the external device monitoring function.
*2 Requires a safety circuit architecture that complies with the desired control category implemented using either an SF-C13 Control Unit, a safety relay, or other equipment.

Do not install this device with a machine whose operation cannot be stopped immediately in the middle of an operation cycle by an emergency stop equipment.

Others

This device has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Do not use this product with mobile equipment such as an automated guided vehicle (AGV).
Do not use during the initial transient time (2 sec.) after the power supply is switched on.
Avoid dust, dirt and steam.
Take care that the safety light curtain does not come in direct contact with water, oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Take care that the safety light curtain is not directly exposed to fluorescent light from a rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it may affect the sensing performance.
The body of the safety light curtain is made of resin, so please take into account the expansion and contraction of the longitudinal dimension.
When machining mounting holes, please check the actual product.

Part description and function

Common for emitter and receiver

Description	Function
Large multi-purpose indicator (Orange)	Lights up when input for the large multi-purpose indicator is valid. Turns OFF when input for the large multi-purpose indicator is invalid.
Frequency setting indicator (Orange) [FREQ]	Turns OFF when Frequency 1 is set. Lights up when Frequency 2 is set.
Fault indicator (Yellow) [FAULT]	Turns OFF during normal operation. Lights up or blinks when fault occurs in the device.

Emitter

Description	Function
Operation indicator (Green) [POWER]	Lights up when device operation is as follows. Turns OFF when test input is valid.
Test indicator (Red) [TEST]	Lights up when test input is valid. Turns OFF when test input is invalid.

Receiver

Description	Function
OSSD indicator (Red / green) [OSSD]	When control output (OSSD) is OFF: lights up in red When control output (OSSD) is ON: lights up in green
Unstable light reception indicator (Orange) [STB]	Turns OFF when stable light is received (the percentage of light received is more than 150%). [Control output (OSSD) ON] Lights up when unstable light is received (the percentage of light received is between 100% and 150%). [Control output (OSSD) ON] Turns OFF when light is blocked (the percentage of light received is less than 100%). (Note 1) [Control output (OSSD) OFF]

Notes:
1) Besides, ‘when light is blocked’ refers to the status that there exists any object blocking light in the sensing area.
2) The description given in [ ] is marked on the device.
