Available on Metal Box Controllers

SMB - Swivel Mounting Bracket for Pylons: Replaces the L-shaped fixed mounting brackets normally supplied. This option provides 360° rotation of pylons.
MO - Guarding Mute-Out: Mutes out light curtain on non-hazardous portion of machine cycle.
DN - DeviceNet™: Fieldbus network compatible. Add suffix DN to light curtain model number.
Extended Range Units: 21' (6.4m) to 50' (15.24m) scanning distances (specify desired scanning distance).

Available ONLY on the Metal Box Controller

DS - Dual Individual Stop Outputs
LR - Resettable Latching Relays (Metal Box Controller): Requires the light curtain to be manually reset each time the light curtain is penetrated.
SC - Single Controller for Multiple Light Curtain (Metal Box Controller):
Cost effective approach when a machine requires multiple light curtains. The multiple light curtain systems are controlled by a single MicroGuard controller. Up to four sets of pylons can be connected to the controller. Add suffix SC to light curtain model number and additional plyon sizes.
ES - Emergency Stop Input. E-Stop input requiring the MicroGuard to issue a stop command (built in standard on the DIN-rail Safety Relay Controller Module).
24VDC- 24 VDC Input Power (Metal Box Controller): Add suffix DC for 24 VDC input power.
220VAC - 220 VAC Input Power (Metal Box Controller): Add suffix 220VAC for 220 VAC input power.

Extra Pylon Protection (optional)

PT - Polycarbonate Tube: Encases the pylons for high impact protection.
