Description
The BeamSafe II-EP is a longrange single-beam safety control designed for perimeter and access guarding in an explosive environment. “Diverse redundant” microprocessor design provides safe, control-reliable operation.
A BeamSafe II-EP system consists of one transmitter and one receiver. No interconnecting cables or separate control are required. Mounted on the receiver, four separate visible indicators provide instant information on system clear, blocked or interlocked status as well as signal strength. Output options include redundant solid-state or force-guided relays located in the receiver. When ordering, it is necessary to specify model numbers for transmitter, receiver and enclosure(s).
Immunity to weld flash and ambient light are enhanced by coding the infrared beam. This feature also eliminates interference from other BeamSafe II-EP units installed in close proximity. A tight beam angle reduces problems associated with reflective surfaces.

The BeamSafe II meets applicable OSHA, ANSI and RIA standards and was designed in accordance with IEC61496, DIN EN 50100 and EN 954-1.
Only use the BeamSafe II on machinery that stops consistently and immediately anywhere in its cycle or stroke. Never use a BeamSafe II on a full-revolution clutched press or machine. The BeamSafe II is a single optical beam, not a curtain of light. Therefore it is not designed for use as a point-of-operation device. If one or more BeamSafe II systems do not protect all access to the hazardous machine area, the unprotected access must be guarded by fencing, barriers or other appropriate
methods.
The purchaser, installer and employer are responsible for meeting all appropriate laws, rules and regulations relating to the proper use, installation, operation and maintenance of this control and the guarded machine.

- Approved for use in Class I, Div. 2 gas and dust applications
Description
The EC Series consists of a uniquely coded actuator, a read head (switch), and a control unit capable of monitoring 1 to 4 read heads.
The uniquely coded actuator is a device known as a transponder (transmitter and responder) while the read head is a device known as a transceiver (transmitter and receiver). The actuator (transponder) receives an electromagnetic field from the read head (transceiver), processes it and sends data signals back to the read head which are read by the control unit. The data signals received by the control unit must match the known data signals of the control unit in order to close the safety outputs of the control unit.
Each actuator has a uniquely coded element within the actuator that can not be reprogrammed which makes the actuators secure against manipulation. The ‘Teach-In Operation’ is used to ‘teach’ the control unit the code of each of the 1 to 4 actuators that are to be used with the read heads connected to the control unit. No additional equipment is required to perform the teach-in operation and there is no limit to the number of teach-in operations that may be performed.
The EC-S2 and EC-S4 control units provide EDM (External Device Monitoring, also called MPCE monitoring) and may be operated in manual or automatic start mode allowing the control unit to function as a safety monitoring relay. There are also 2 or 4 solid state outputs on the control unit for individual monitoring of the status of each read head plus an additional output for the monitoring of the status of the
control unit.
The EC-S1 switch is available with a wide variety of cable lengths to 25 meters or with an integral connector to accommodate a variety of application requirements.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Note: The safety contacts of the Omron STI switches are described as normally closed (N/C) i.e., with the guard closed, actuator in place, and the machine able to be started. |
 | CM Series Compact Coded Magnetic Safety Interlock Switch and Control Units - Replacement Parts
- A fully monitored system that meets Category 3 when 1 to 30 plus switches are used with the CM Control Units
- External Device Monitoring (EDM) with monitored manual or automatic reset
- NEMA 6 switch enclosures satisfy most application requirements
- Magnetically coded switches are tamper resistant to common magnets
- Misalignment tolerance of (5 and 9 mm) reduces nuisance tripping
- Dual channel N/C E-stop input is monitored by the CM-S41 control in addition to four CM switches
- Mechanical interlock switches may be used with the CM-S4 control unit
- CM control units may replace a safety relay in most applications
- CM-S221 switches with 2 N/C safety contacts and 1 N/O auxiliary contact may be used with many other safety monitoring relays accepting 2 N/C safety inputs including the SR103AM; CM-S221 switches are not compatible with Legacy Relay products or the SR203M/AM, SR208AD or SR209AD
Description
The CM switches are tamper resistant non-contact safety interlock switches that operate with their own control units except for the CM-S221 switch. The CMS221 switch will work with many safety monitoring relays accepting 2 N/C safety inputs. The CM control units will monitor one to four CM switches to category 3 in accordance with EN954-1.
The CM-S4 controller is designed to work with with non-contact switches with dry contacts 1 N/C + 1 N/O. The CM-S21 and CMS41 controllers and the CM-SE expansion module are designed to only accept CM-S11 and CM-S31 switches. These controllers sense voltage and current changes in the switch circuit when the actuator is presented to the switch.
The CM control units provide EDM (External Device Monitoring, also called MPCE monitoring) and an automatic reset function. This allows the CM control units to replace a safety relay in most applications.
The NEMA 6 encapsulated design of the CM Series switch makes it ideal for harsh environments.
Mechanical switches and CM Series switches may be used together with a single CM-S4 control unit for applications requiring both non-contact and mechanical safety interlock switches.
The CM Series switch and actuator are available in four sizes plus a stainless steel version to accommodate a variety of application requirements.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Note: The safety contacts of the Omron STI switches are described as normally closed (N/C) i.e., with the guard closed, actuator in place, and the machine able to be started.
