Introducing MicroGuard®, the revolutionary new light curtain. MicroGuard® is thin in design, fits into tight spaces, uses reliable infrared technology, solid state construction, is easy to install and continually visually communicates the system status with operators and plant personnel.

The MicroGuard® advantage is the advanced smart controller design that allows the operator and plant personnel to perform immediate visual checks on the system status. There are 50 diagnostic messages which provide an exact determination of the MicroGuard®'s operational status on a continual basis. Messages are easily viewed from the message display on the front of the controller. The operator can verify the condition of operation and status of the system at all times.

The MicroGuard®'s design allows a quick and easy resolution to system faults and maintenance concerns. Constant communication between the operator and the MicroGuard® will save valuable operating time by reducing machine downtime. The self-diagnostic capability allows the MicroGuard® to troubleshoot itself by identifying system faults. This constant operating evaluation allows problems to be immediately corrected. This ensures that each MicroGuard® user will get maximum machine utilization.

MicroGuard® is user friendly. Simple cable hook-ups are used to activate the MicroGuard®. Power is common 120VAC, 200VAC, or 24VDC. The thin profile design is easily mounted in tight spaces and is available in 30 sizes that can be adapted to any application need. The thin profile pylons feature 1/2" (13mm) or 1" (25mm) beam spacing with an easy alignment feature.

Solid state modular NEMA IV (IP 65) construction is easy to maintain with snap-in circuit board construction. Lens covers are high impact plastic and are easily replaced. The redundant circuit and microprocessor design of the MicroGuard® ensures safe, uninterrupted operation.

The MicroGuard® is also designed for immunity to noise, light, weld flash and other ambient light sources and is available in either a metal box enclosure or a compact 35mm DIN-rail mountable enclosure.

Extended Range Units are available with scanning distances of up to 50' (15.24m).
