It belongs tothe family of Type 2 electrosensitive devices for the protection of personnel exposed to risksarising from the use of hazardous machinery or plant.The VISION barrier, which consists of an Emitter and a Receiver, is a type 2 optoelectronicsafety device according to standards IEC 61496-1 and IEC 61496-2.VISION is available in two different families of models depending on the maximum workingrange : 6m (VL models) and 16m (VH models).The two built-in safe static PNP outputs enable the barrier to be connected to the AD SRsafety modules or to a safety PLC or to another control system that satisfies the specificrequirements and safety level of the application.VISION is ideal for protecting:Machinery for product handling such as conveyors, palletizing, collating machines;packaging and wrapping devices; automated assembly lines; automated warehousing. If necessary, for any safety-related problems contact the competent safetyauthorities or industrial associations in the country of use. For applications in the food industry, please contact the manufacturer to ensure thatthe barrier contains materials that are compatible with the chemical agents utilized.The protective function of the optoelectronic devices is not effective in the following cases: If the machine stopping control cannot be actuated electrically and it is not possibleto stop all dangerous machine movements immediately and at any time during theoperating cycle. If the machine generates dangerous situations due to material being expelled orfalling from overhead.
