Micro 400 IP69K Light Curtains

The GuardShield Micro 400 is offered with the transmitter and receiver sealed in clear acrylic tubes with an environmental rating of IP69K. These IP69K Micro 400 light curtains are factory sealed and are ordered as pairs. They are offered in a 14 mm resolution in protected heights of 300 mm (11.8 in.), 600 mm (23.6 in.), 900 mm (35.4 in.) and 1200 mm (47.2 in.) with an operating range of five meters.

The required MSR 41 or MSR42 controllers maintain the IP20 rating and must be mounted in a suitable enclosure.

The Micro 400 IP69K transmitter and receiver are both offered with eight pin M12 connectors at the end of 500 mm (19.8 in.) integrated cables. The patchcords to connect the transmitter and receiver to the controller are the same cat. no. and are offered in 3 m (9.8 ft), 5 m (16.4 ft), and 8 m (26.2 ft) lengths.


These patchcords are configured on one end with M12 connectors, which mate to the integrated pigtail connectors and RJ45 connectors on the opposite end. These connectors plug into the MSR41 or MSR42 controller.
