SAFEMASTER W Radio controlled safety module UH 6900 3 Introduction of the system SAFEMASTER W is an innovative wireless safety system to protect man and machine. A – feature of the Wireless Safety System is its safety-oriented bi-directional radio transmission for transmitting signals between two wireless safety modules so that the two separate safety devices, each of them installed on a different machine part that is not connected to the other by wires (for example, moving machine parts), work together as one system.
SAFEMASTER W Radio controlled safety module UH 6900 3.3 Design The main components of the safety system are the two radio-controlled safety modules. Each UH 6900 radio-controlled safety module is installed in a switch cabinet or on a mobile device and is operated with a plug-in or external antenna. It detects the signals of up to three wired safety elements plus the signals from the related second active radio-controlled safety module that are sent through a safe radio transmission.
