INTRODUCTION

The SLC / SLG 210 RF 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 RF are available in two different versions:
1. SLC / SLG 210 RF (STANDARD)
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.
2. SLC / SLG 210 RF MASTER/SLAVE
Type 2 photoelectric light curtain / light grid composed of two Emitter/Receiver in pairs
(connected in series). The first one is the MASTER barrier (with additional functions) and the
second is the SLAVE barrier.
A diagnostic display available on Emitter and Receiver provides the necessary information
for a correct use of the device and the evaluation of the possible operation defects.
SLC / SLG 210 RF is ideal for the protection of:
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.
