3 Device description
The safety sensors from the MLC500 series are active opto-electronic protective devices. They satisfy the
following standards:
MLC500
Type in accordance with ENIEC61496 4
Category in accordance with ENISO13849 4
Performance Level (PL) in accordance with ENISO13849‑1 e
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) in accordance with IEC61508 and SILCL in ac-
cordance with ENIEC62061
3
The safety sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver (see chapter 3.1 "Device overview"). It is pro-
tected against overvoltage and overcurrent acc. to IEC60204-1 (safety class3). Its infrared beams are not
influenced by ambient light (e.g. welding sparks, warning lights).
3.1 Device overview
The series is characterized by three different receiver classes (Basic, Standard, Extended) with specific
features and properties (see table below).

Protective field properties
The beam distance and the number of beams are dependent on the resolution and protective field height.
NOTICE
Depending on the resolution, the effective protective field height can be larger than the optically
active area of the safety sensor housed in yellow (see chapter 3.1 "Device overview" and see
chapter 14.1 "General specifications").
