On safety
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. IEC 61 496A1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to bridge a brief mains
failure of 20 ms. The power supply must provide safe mains isolation (SELV/PELV) and
have a current limit of max. 8 A. Power supplies according to EN 60 204A1 satisfy this
requirement. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see
section 10.6 "Accessories" on page 77).
