Free standing two pylon 110 VAC input power system with built-in monitored safety relays (dry). Multiple beam spacing options are available for arm and body detection. Model PPG is designed for perimeter guarding applications and incorporates latching safety relays (dry) with mounted manual reset button on the receiver pylon. Long scanning distances available. Type 4 / Category 4. Made in USA.
Perimeter Guards utilize wider beam spacing than safety light curtains protecting personnel from “pinch point” or “point of operation” hazard zones. Perimeter Guards are designed to detect when an operator or passerby penetrates the perimeter of a hazardous zone. The Perimeter Guard safety light curtain will then initiate a stop signal to the machine control.
Perimeter Guards also incorporate latching safety relays. This requires a manual reset after each penetration into the guarded zone. This is an additional safety feature to protect the intruder from an inadvertent machine actuation while the intruder is within the work area.

Options
Auxiliary Output Contact. Provides an isolated (dry) contact output to be used as a signal line. Specify N.O. or N.C. output. Add suffix AO to light curtain Model Number.
External Relay Check. This option monitors the control relays of the guarded machine to assure that the machine control relays change state when the safety light curtain sends a stop signal. Add suffix ER to light curtain Model Number.
24VDC Power Source. Add suffix DC to light curtain Model Number.
32-108 – High Load Safety Relay – 110 VAC
20 AMP high load safety relay incorporates a 110 VAC coil with 3 NO (held closed) and 1 NC contact. Each light curtain requires two relays. Dimensions: (45mm width x 91mm length x 85mm height)
32-109 – High Load Safety Relay – 24vdc
20 AMP high load safety relay incorporates a 24vdc coil with 3 NO (held closed) and 1 NC contact. Each light curtain requires two relays and EDM feature. Dimensions: (45mm width x 91mm length x 115mm height)
Cornering Mirrors
Through the use of cornering mirrors, multiple sides or work envelopes can be guarded which enhance safety and reduce downtime related to mechanical and electrical interlock systems. Include a 5% reflectivity loss per mirror when calculating the total scanning distance of the light curtain.
For the Model PPG, please replace MGM with TRM.
Pedestal Dimensions
The heavy duty, all welded steel pedestal floor mounts can be used for mounting either light curtain pylons or cornering mirrors. Sliding mounts on the pedestal are of universal design and are supplied standard. Unique floating base on pedestal is designed to compensate for uneven floors.
NOTE: Pedestals must be bolted to the floor, they must not be movable (ANSI B11.19-2010).
