Designed to meet new global functional safety standards, including EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 61496, the Allen-Bradley Guardmaster Area Access Control (AAC) Safety Single Beam provides “whole body” detection in perimeter and access guarding applications.
As a Type 4 presence sensing device intended for use around hazardous machinery or work cells, the AAC features a rugged, IP67 cast aluminum housing. It is equipped with a heated front window to help prevent formation of condensation due to temperature variations. This safety optoelectronic device is offered in two ranges: short (0.5 to 20 meters) and long (15 to 70 meters). It carries a CE mark with third-party approval by TÜV Rheinland.
