6.   SafeShield Weld Shields

Notes:

• Two additional front screens (weld shields) are available for each cat. no.
  
• The additional front screen fits both on the sender and on the receiver.
  
• The additional front screen may be used only if the curved enclosure side is accessible.
  
• An additional front screen reduces the scanning range of the system by 8%. If sender and receiver each use an additional front screen, the maximum scanning range will be reduced by 16%.

7.   Safety Light Curtains—Cascadable System

The Allen-Bradley Guardmaster SafeShield cascadable family of safety light curtains are ordered as a pair—transmitter and receiver—and is shipped under one catalog number. After selecting the appropriate light curtain pair, ensure that required interfaces and accessories are ordered as well.



Cascadable devices come with two M23 connectors; a system connector on one end of the device to connect the light curtain to your safety control system and an extension connector on the other end of the device to connect to the next light curtain segment. The maximum number of segments is three.

The first segment of a two-cascaded system and the first and second segment of a three-cascaded system must always be a cascadable device (with a connector on both ends). This allows you to connect additional segments to the system (maximum of three segments). The last segment, which is either the second segment of a two-cascaded system or the third segment of a three-cascaded can be a standard light curtain system ordered on Product Selection which would only have a connector on one end. The maximum number of beams of all segments cannot exceed 480 beams.

Resolution can be mixed between segments. For example, the first segment could be a 14 mm resolution and the second segment could be a 30 mm resolution.

	ATTENTION: When mixing resolution of a cascaded system, ensure the proper safety distance calculations have been completed with the largest resolution.
