The SLC4 and SLC2 ranges offer several integrated
safety functions, including selectable automatic/
manual restart, self-monitoring of static outputs, and
control of external contactors. Because of how the
first beam is positioned on the connector side, the
curtains have no blind spots in their protected area.
Lastly, both products are approved by EN IEC 61496-
1/-2 and ANSI/UL 1998, though the SLC2 cannot be
used for safety functions assessed as SIL 2/PLd.
TE also offers several accessories for the SLC range,
including a laser alignment device, a vibration
dampener, a protective screen, and test rods (Figure 2).
The features of the SLC range offer improved
hazard detection, risk monitoring, and management.
Using them also allows industrial organizations to
eliminate cumbersome physical guards, enabling
more efficient machine operation.

Industrial environments
have always been more
hazardous than the
average workplace.
But that's changing
through innovations
like TE's SLC sensors.
