Guardmaster Safedge Pressure Sensitive Safety Edge System
Catalog Numbers 440F-C251D, 440F-C251P, 440F-C252D
Introduction
The Safedge™ Safety Edge System is ideal as a safety sensor in applications such
as power-operated doors, automated vehicles, and moving machinery beds, for
use when you require object detection by touch. The system provides a continuous
line of high sensitivity touch sensing along or around practically anything. See
publication
440F-UM002
for more information.
Description
The Safedge safety edge system consists of up to 50 m (164 ft) of profile, a cable
connector, an ending resistor, a C-rail, and a control unit. The control unit can
monitor lengths of up to 50 m (164 ft). All profiles have the same principle of
operation.
This publication covers the use of the parts of the Safedge safety edge system. If
you require joints, corners, or further assistance, contact your local Allen-Bradley
distributor or Rockwell Automation sales office. Suitably trained and qualified
personnel must complete all installation work in accordance with statutory
requirements for safety.
