Explosion Proof, Long-Range Single Beam Safety Control from STI


FREMONT, CA - Scientific Technologies, Inc. introduces the BeamSafe II-EP. This explosion proof, long-range, single-beam safety control is housed in a rugged cast aluminum enclosure that meets UL886, NEC articles 500, 501 and 502, and CSA.
