With the new functions, it is no longer necessary

to purchase an additional control unit.
Functions like muting and beam axis intensity monitoring
that used to be difficult or impossible,
are now easy to setup using the software.
As a result, on-site installation time will be greatly reduced.

Programmable Muting function
Programmable Muting allows the user to customise what parts of the
safety curtain are suspended. Up to three different clearance heights
can be programmed so that the user can easily pass different height
parts while maintaining maximum safety.

This function is used when an
obstacle is always within the

to operate a safety light curtain

present.

Floating Blanking function

This function is used when an

SL-T11R Type4 Safety Relay Terminal

The SL-T11R combines all of the features necessary to build a Category 4 compatible safety circuit into a single unit.
This makes it possible to dramatically reduce the amount of time and labour required by complex circuit design processes.
It also boasts quick connectors that simplify the wiring process involved in connecting the relay to the light curtain itself.
The SL-T11R eliminates the need for specialised knowledge about safety circuits.

Replaceable Relay
The relay board (OP-84388) can be
replaced without removing any
wires which eliminates time loss

be removed separately.

SL-U2 AC Power Supply

SL-U2, dedicated power source
with class 2 output
In order to use the SL-V Series as a Type 4 light
curtain, it is necessary to have a power supply that
meets IEC/EN/UL61496-1 requirements. The SL-U2
is a dedicated power supply unit that meets all of
these requirements.

The SL-U2 uses a direct connection,

eliminating the need for external wiring.

 Two sets are required to install the protection bar on both the transmitter and receiver.  When installing the protection bar to SL-V, either the
standard bracket A (OP-42347), B (OP-42348), C (OP-42349) or J (OP-83180) is required.  The protection bar and standard mounting brackets are
secured with hexagonal-socket bolts, so the angle cannot be adjusted between the mounting brackets and protection bars. However, the angle between
the SL-V and mounting brackets can be adjusted in order to adjust the beam axes.  The protection bar can be mounted to the rear or side of the SL-V.
Select the appropriate intermediate support bracket according to the type of mounting.  Mount the SL-V within the angle shown to the right in order to
prevent the SL-V beam axes from being cut off by the protection bar or intermediate support bracket.

Precautions when selecting an input device (About OSSD output)

OSSD is safety-related control output. It connects to an external device (load), such as FSD or MPCE. The SL-V generates self-diagnosis signals on its
internal control circuit to perform diagnoses to the output circuit (OSSD). These signals cause the OSSD to be periodically, forcibly and temporarily OFF state
when no interruption exists in the detection zone.
The internal control circuit receives the feed-back signal (OFF signal) based on the self-diagnosis, the SL-V determines that its output circuit is in the normal
operation. If this OFF signal is not returned to the internal control circuit, the SL-V determines that there is a problem in its output circuit or wiring and goes to
the lockout condition.

 Dimensions for units A – C Mounting position G for the intermediate support bracket
When using a standard mounting bracket, slim bracket, or L-shaped bracket, if the total length is 710 mm
or longer, a compact E-to-E mounting bracket is required as an intermediate support bracket. For the
mounting position G of the compact E-to-E mounting bracket, see the lower chart below. When two or
more intermediate support brackets are used, mount them so that the distance between the centres is
J SL-VF Unit: mm within 600 mm in order to fulfill vibration and shock specifications.
