System Overview and Scope of Applications

General

The COMPACT safety light curtains and light grids are active optoelectronic
protection devices (AOPD) of the type 4 according to IEC 61496-1, -2 and
EN 61496-1, -2. A two-dimensional protective field of infrared radiation is
generated between transmitter and receiver. Penetrating this protective field
will trigger the safeguarded machine to go into a safe mode before the person
can enter a potentially hazardous area.
