The Pilz PSEN OP2H-S-30-135/1 safety light curtain is a robust safeguarding solution developed to protect operators and ensure safe machine access in demanding industrial environments. Designed for applications where extended protection height and reliability under challenging conditions are required, this model integrates seamlessly into safety architectures to deliver both efficiency and compliance.

With a protective height of 1350 mm, the PSEN OP2H-S-30-135/1 is particularly well-suited for safeguarding larger access points, production cells, and machinery where operators may need to reach into hazardous zones. This extended monitoring zone helps to prevent accidents by ensuring any interruption of the light beam triggers an immediate stop of dangerous machine movements.

The device operates using an infrared wavelength of 950 nm, providing invisible and interference-resistant detection. This technology ensures reliable performance even in environments with varying lighting conditions, offering consistent safety monitoring across different industrial applications.

Built for durability, the light curtain meets climatic suitability standard EN 60068-2-3, which confirms its resilience against long-term exposure to high humidity. It can operate in conditions of up to 95% relative humidity at 40 °C, making it a strong choice for industries such as food processing, packaging, and automotive manufacturing where moisture and fluctuating conditions are common.

The inclusion of two OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) outputs enhances the system’s safety integrity. These redundant outputs provide fail-safe monitoring and enable straightforward integration with Pilz safety controllers or third-party safety relays. The dual-channel design supports compliance with international safety standards such as EN ISO 13849-1 (Performance Level e) and IEC 61496, ensuring the highest levels of personnel protection.

In addition to its safety features, the PSEN OP2H-S-30-135/1 is engineered for user-friendly installation and integration. The slim housing design allows for flexible mounting options, and alignment is simplified to minimise commissioning time. Once installed, the system provides fast detection and response times, ensuring that hazardous machine operations are halted without unnecessary delays, balancing productivity and safety.

Typical applications include robotics work cells, packaging machines, conveyor systems, and automated assembly lines, where extended vertical protection is required. Its combination of environmental robustness, advanced safety features, and compliance with international standards makes it a dependable choice for safeguarding modern industrial facilities.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN OP2H-S-30-135/1 offers a powerful blend of extended protective height, infrared detection, high environmental tolerance, and redundant OSSD safety outputs. This ensures maximum operator protection, compliance with global safety requirements, and reliable operation even under harsh industrial conditions.
