Product description
CLV with heater The following are required to start up and operate the CLV 480 with heater:
1. A SICK Connection Module from the AMV 100 or AMV 200 series to provide the power
supply and connect the data and function interfaces.
Available types:
– For connecting one CLV: AMV 100-011 (no. 6 021 105) for 24 V DC, max. IP 65
– For connecting two CLVs: AMV 200-011 (no. 6 021 106) for 24 V DC, max. IP 65
– or –
Alternatively, a non-SICK Power pack with a voltage output of 24 V DC +20 %/–10 %
to IEC
742 (functional extra-low voltage pursuant to IEC 364-4-41) and a minimum po-
wer output of 100 W.
Cable no. 2 020 264 (3 m (9.84 ft)) with 15-pin D Sub HD connector and one open
end for connecting the CLV to the non-SICK Power pack (supply voltage).
2. The following operating voltages/power output values:
– AMV 100-011: 24 V DC +20 %/–10 % (pursuant to IEC 364-4-41), min. 100 W
– AMV 200-011: 24 V DC +20 %/–10 % (pursuant to IEC 364-4-41), min. 200 W
3. See pos. 3 under CLV without heater
