Universal control box --
Universality has always been a standard feature in our Detector 3 control box. Its built-in capabilities provide flexibility, allowing one control box to meet virtually all requirements. For example, the same unit can control any-size optic heads without adjustment. It can also control a second set of any size heads, making it more economical to install additional light curtains. Plus, our universal control box separates safety controls from automation controls.

Safety confirmed by independent tests --
We were one of the first to provide multiple independent laboratory certifications that our systems meet or exceed established standards for safety and control reliability (CE by TUV and CSA 22-014). Third-party verification includes control reliability, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and environmental stress testing. This testing includes vibration, impact and exposure to temperature extremes, dust and humidity, plus electrical aberrations and optics. Tests confirm that safety is assured under all environmental conditions.
Control reliability is confirmed by testing every component for all possible failure modes, including broken, open or shorted- closed connections. Tests confirm that no single component failure can ever jeopardize operator safety. Critical components are duplicated and continually cross-checked during operation to ensure that a single failure can't create an unsafe condition.

Rugged, dependable, built to last --
Detector light curtains are designed for uncompromising safety and durability under the toughest conditions. The electronics are compatible with all types of machine controls. Operation is not affected by smoke, dirt, oil or ambient light, including weld flash and strobe lights. Detectors are ruggedly constructed of 18-gauge welded steel (integral two-box) or heavy-gauge extruded aluminum (slimline three-box) to withstand the toughest treatment...even NEMA-4 hosedown of the optic heads. Explosion-proof enclosures are optional with Detector 3.
