Distinguish sensing height from installation height
The MLC510R14-1950 receiver provides a 1950 mm nominal protective field, while its total height is 2016 mm. Its 14 mm resolution is a separate selection parameter, not the range between transmitter and receiver. Use the complete model and order code 68001119 when assessing a replacement or defining a new sensing pair.
Resolution and placement
The 14 mm resolution is relevant to finger-protection applications. Required separation distance and avoidance of reach-around paths must still be established for the machine. The long housing requires particular attention to straight mounting, alignment and access around the protected field. Its nominal sensing height is not a guarantee that every approach route is covered.
Response time belongs in the machine calculation
This receiver has a 42 ms response time and two PNP OSSD safety outputs. Include receiver response, safety-controller delay and measured machine stopping time when establishing the required separation distance. The total profile size is 29 × 2016 × 35.4 mm.
Basic function package and commissioning
The Basic receiver uses automatic start/restart and selectable transmission channels. Type 4, PL e and SIL 3 identify the sensor class; they are not a certificate for the complete machine. A suitable external restart interlock or protection against standing behind the field is essential where the risk assessment requires it. Wiring, validation and periodic checks must be performed by competent personnel.
