INTRODUCTION

The SLC / SLG 210 RFLC photoelectric light curtain / light grid is a multi-beam
optoelectronic safety system.
It belongs to the family of Type 2 electrosensitive devices for the protection of personnel
exposed to risks arising from the use of hazardous machinery or plant, according to
standards IEC 61496-1,2 and EN 61496-1.
SLC / SLG 210 RFLC is a Type 2 photoelectric light curtain / light grid composed of Emitter
and Receiver with integration of additional functions, such as the external contactors
feedback control and the manual/automatic operation management.
The LEDs present on Emitter and Receiver units labels provide the necessary information for
a correct use of the device and the evaluation of the possible operation defects.
The SLC / SLG 210 RFLC light curtain / light grid system features an automatic self-
diagnosis function that enables it to detect every malfunctions (in an maximum execution
time of 28 sec).
This safety system is permanently active and does not require any interventions from the
outside.
SLC / SLG 210 RFLC is ideal for protecting:
Machinery for product handling such as conveyors, palletizing, collating machines;
packaging and wrapping devices; automated assembly lines; automated warehousing.
If necessary, for any safety-related problems contact the competent safety
authorities or industrial associations in the country of use.
For applications in the food industry, please contact the manufacturer to ensure that
the barrier contains materials that are compatible with the chemical agents utilized.
The protective function of the optoelectronic devices is not effective in the following cases:
If the machine stopping control cannot be actuated electrically and it is not possible
to stop all dangerous machine movements immediately and at any time during the
operating cycle.
If the machine generates dangerous situations due to material being expelled or
falling from overhead.
This symbol stands by a very important warning concerning the safety of persons.
Its non-observance can cause a very serious risk for the exposed personnel.
