Introduction
10
10
The GuardShield Micro 400 safety light curtain is an economical three-box
(transmitter, receiver, and controller) Type 4 safety light curtain, offered in a small
12
profile [15 x 20 mm (0.59 x 0.79 in.)] housing.

13
The protective heights are offered from 50...1200 mm (1.97...47.24 in.) in
50 mm (1.97 in.) increments. The compact housing size allows the GuardShield
13
Micro 400 safety light curtain to mount in areas where standard safety light
14
curtains cannot mount due to space constraints. You can also recess the
15
GuardShield Micro 400 safety light curtain transmitter and receiver into machine
frames.

Micro 400 Safety Light Curtain System

The Micro 400 safety light curtain requires a dedicated controller, either an MSR41
safety module, which has on/off functionality, or an MSR42 safety module, which
24
offers an advanced functionality of fixed and floating blanking, manual restart and
muting. The MSR42 safety module can also be used as a multifunction safety
module, which allows the connection of additional safety light curtains, safety
laser scanner, or any safety device with PNP type outputs.
The Micro 400 safety light curtain transmitter and receiver are offered with 8-pin
M12 connectors at the end of 500 mm (20 in.) pigtail cables. The two patchcords to
Page
connect the transmitter and receiver to the controller are the same part number
and are offered in various lengths. These patchcords are configured on one end
14
with M12 connectors, which mate to the integrated pigtail connectors of the safety
light curtain. The RJ45 connectors on the opposite end plug into to the MSR41 or
MSR42 safety module.
