SG 18

The SG 18 light curtain system consists of a self-contained transmitter, SGT and receiver, SGR, which are to be positioned opposite of each other. The detectors are housed in ultra compact, but sturdy, aluminium profiles that are mounted using plastic fixture clips (included). All electronics are fully potted. The light curtain can be fitted with an optional front cover for additional protection of the optoelectronic components.

The system is supplied with a 10-30 V dc power supply and the SGR includes a solid state relay output and wire selectable light or dark function. The control input in the SGT may be used for either disabling or enabling the transmitter power temporarily for test purpose or for set up of a static blanking function which allows a selection of beams to be permanently ignored. The SGT and SGR are electrically synchronised.

The advanced automatic signal-tracking (AST) feature ensures that no onsite set up or adjustments are required. The signal level of each individual channel is adjusted automatically which compensates for misalignment and contamination during operation.

Specialised signal processing technology, designed for outdoor environments, reduces the risk of false detections of water, rain or snow that may pass between the light curtains during operation.

Two sets of SG 18 light curtains can be wire configured together to form a synchronised and multiplexed Master/Slave system, which ensures that optical cross-talk between the two sets is prevented.

All products include a 3-year worldwide warranty.
