■ Category 3, PLd construction example

[Precautions when using as Category 3 PLd]
Sensor redundancy is required!
Observe the following when connecting to the safety controller.
・In the case the product is used in a standalone state, the safety system may not operate properly when a sensor malfunction occurs.

CAUTION
The product cannot be used for human body detection.

■ Application examples

[Required conditions]

1.	The source of hazards is located inside the machine and may cause hazards to nearby people.
2.	The equipment is classified as Category 3 PLd or lower.
3.	The source of hazards is isolated only by the automatic door.

* The product can be used safely when all of the above conditions 1 through 3 are satisfied!

* There are cases where you can use it under other conditions.

*	Be sure to read the "Cautions For Use" when using for safety applications.

Alleviates interference without slits, allowing close-spaced installation

With about half the light diffusion of previous models, narrow-beam models can be placed twice as closely together-without the added cost of purchasing and installing slits.

Detects minute objects with a diameter of just 0.5 mm 0.020 in, without slits [EX-11S□]

With about half the light diffusion of previous models, narrow-beam models can detect minute objects with a diameter of just 0.5 mm <span class="inch">0.020 in</span>, without slits.
These models provide a reasonably-priced solution for applications requiring detection of minute objects.
