Product Detailed Description
The Allen-Bradley 445L-P4S0600YD is a Bulletin 445L GuardShield™ POC (Point of Operation Control) Type 4 Micro 400 Safety Light Curtain Pair. It is an economical, three-box system consisting of a matched transmitter (e.g., 445L-T4S0600YD) and receiver pair, designed for finger and hand detection in safety applications. The system features a slim 15 x 20 mm (0.59 x 0.79 in.) aluminum housing with a polycarbonate optical window, making it suitable for space-constrained installations. It operates using infrared light pulses at a 940 nm wavelength and requires a dedicated safety controller such as the MSR41 (basic on/off) or MSR42 (advanced functions like blanking and muting). The product includes integrated status indicators for alignment and diagnostics, 8-pin M12 connectors with 500 mm pigtail cables, and is certified for use in benign industrial environments (IP54 enclosure rating). Note: This model has been discontinued by Rockwell Automation as of October 31, 2020, and is no longer available for new purchases; existing units should be evaluated for migration to active alternatives like the 445L-P4E0600FP.

Product Advantages
- Compact and Versatile Design: The slim 15 x 20 mm profile enables easy integration into tight spaces, such as recessed machine frames or small assembly lines, without compromising performance.
- Integrated Laser Alignment System: Simplifies installation and setup with built-in green/red status indicators for quick alignment verification, reducing commissioning time.
- High Safety Integrity: Achieves the highest safety levels (Type 4, SIL 3, PLe) with cross-monitored OSSDs and short-circuit protection, ensuring reliable hazard detection and minimal downtime.
- Cascading Capability: Supports interconnection of up to three segments (max 10 m system length, 255 beams) for multi-sided protection, minimizing wiring and costs in complex setups.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Low-power consumption, no field repairs needed, and optional diagnostics via optical interface (e.g., 445L-AF6150) for beam-level troubleshooting.
- Configurable Functionality: Compatible with MSR42 for advanced modes like fixed/floating blanking and muting, adapting to varied operational needs without additional hardware.
- Robust in Benign Environments: IP54 rating and vibration/shock resistance make it ideal for light-duty industrial use, with an optional IP69K washdown variant for harsher conditions.
Precautions
- Installation by Qualified Personnel Only: Must be installed, commissioned, and serviced by trained professionals familiar with safety standards (e.g., EN ISO 13849-1). Improper setup can lead to severe injury or death.
- Safety Distance Calculation: Maintain minimum distances per OSHA (D_s = 63 × T_s), EN ISO 13855/13857 (e.g., min 152.4 mm from hazard); avoid reflective surfaces (min 135–220 mm clearance based on range).
- Alignment and Testing: Mount transmitter and receiver parallel and facing each other; use a level and 30 mm test rod for validation at multiple points. Test daily and after modifications.
- Electrical Safety: Use only Rockwell Automation-approved patchcords; ensure correct polarity; do not connect OSSDs to +24 V DC. Max system length 10 m; power off before wiring.
- Environmental Limits: Avoid exposure to flammable gases, strong sunlight, radiation, or excessive vibration beyond specs. Clean optics gently with a soft cloth—no abrasives or solvents.
- Operational Warnings: Never bypass the system; ensure machine stops electrically on interruption. Do not operate if the machine cannot achieve a safe stop. Record all inspections; discontinue use if faults occur.
- Discontinued Status: As of October 31, 2020, this model is no longer supported for new sales. Verify compatibility and consider migration to active products for long-term reliability.
- Maintenance Schedule: Perform visual checks, alignment verification, and response time tests regularly; consult the user manual for detailed procedures.
Product Applications
- Point of Operation Safeguarding: Ideal for finger/hand protection on machinery like presses, robotic cells, and assembly stations where operators reach into hazardous areas.
- Small Machine Perimeter Guarding: Used in compact setups for semi-conductor equipment, micro-electronics assembly, and textile machines to detect intrusions without obstructing workflow.
- Cascaded Multi-Side Protection: Enables L- or U-shaped guarding around small conveyors or packaging lines, supporting blanking for material pass-through.
- Low-Risk Industrial Environments: Targeted at benign conditions (IP54) in electronics manufacturing, light assembly, and automated sorting systems requiring Type 4 safety for moderate-to-high risk hazards.
- Integration with Safety Controllers: Pairs with MSR series for enhanced functions like muting in conveyor-fed processes, ensuring compliance in regulated industries such as automotive parts handling or pharmaceutical packaging.
