Non-Contact Fiber Optic Safety Elements Provide Flexible Perimeter and Access Guarding



bannerengineering.com-August 8, 2005-Banner Engineering has introduced compact, rugged PICO-GUARD(TM) Points. The points are designed for use with the PICO-GUARD fiber optic controller for personnel safety applications. Multiple emitter and receiver points can be arranged to create a customized optical safety grid that meets Safety Category 4 requirements. Constructed of either impact-resistant polycarbonate or stainless steel, PICO-GUARD Points can guard distances up to 28.7 m and resist damage from moisture and debris.

Multiple pairs mounted in a grid detect a body or torso as a person enters the hazardous area. An example application is access to a paint booth. Because they operate with light and use no electricity at the point of detection, PICO-GUARD Points are perfect for perimeter and access guarding applications in explosive environments.

PICO-GUARD Points: Specifications

12 mm IP67 rated polycarbonate threaded barrel models have an operating range of 1.5 to 6.4 m (depending on fiber lengths)-pricing starts at $60.00

30 mm IP67 rated stainless steel threaded barrel models have a tempered glass lens, operate at a range of 8.5 to 28.7 m (depending on fiber lengths)-pricing starts at $95.00

All models have integral polyethylene, PVC or fluoropolymer fiber cable jacketing with polished ends in 8', 15', 25' and 50' lengths

A broad offering of mounting brackets further simplifies installation
