The Area Access Control (AAC) safety single-beam is a 24V DC
through-beam opto-electronic safety switch offered with two
operating ranges (a short range (0.5…20 m (1.64…65.5 ft) or a long
range (15…70 m (49.2…300 ft)) system. The AAC system uses the
same transmitter for both ranges and one of two receivers for a
short-range or long-range system. This unique system configuration
minimizes the number of cat. nos. necessary for specifying the AAC
single-beam system.
The AAC safety single-beam is used as a whole-body detection
device. The light beam produced between the AAC transmitter and
receiver provides whole-body access detection for hazardous areas
such as:
