These indicators also provide built-in alignment assistance, making installation quick and easy. Wiring is simplified with standard M12 5-pin connectors and optional Y-connector, requiring only one cable back to the control panel. This series also has an incredibly fast response time, reducing the necessary mounting distance from the hazard. Additional features include network compatibility, no dead zones, high environmental resistance, and a durable, slim housing.

Usable anywhere Small and Robust

Although small in size (22 × 22 mm), the GL-V series has approximately 3 mm thick robust body and features a twin bumper structure to protect the lens surface. The environment-resistance enclosure rating meets IP65/IP67 standards.

Small

While small, the main unit case has a robust structure approximately 3 mm thick, making it impact resistant and minimising twisting of the main body.

Robust

The most common cause of damage to light curtains is damage to the optical surface. The twin bumper has the optimal depth and width to provide excellent protection for the optical surface.

Quick Installation

Adjustable Mounting Bracket

The adjustable mounting bracket allows for swift installation by simply snapping into place, aligning, and securing with a tightening screw. Any adjustments necessary once installed, can easily be achieved.

Simplified Wiring

The GL-V is standardised with an M12 5-Pin connector. This connection makes integration simple. Any cable replacements or extensions that are necessary can be done easily.
