The Honeywell FF-SG is a self-contained
light curtain that does not require a sepa-
rate control unit for operation. As soon as an object is detected inside the protection
field, the FF-SG opens its two safety static outputs to generate an emergency stop
condition that is used to remove dangerous machine motion when properly inter-
faced with the machine stopping circuitry. When connected to the
FF-SRL60252 optional interface control module, the FF-SG provides a wide variety of
advanced functions: cross-monitored relays, final switching devices monitoring for
the control of external contactors or relays, choice between automatic restart or start
and restart interlock as well as relay status indicators.
The FF-SG is designed in compliance with IEC/EN 61496-1 and IEC/EN 61496-2
standards and meets the requirements for a Type 4 Active Optoelectronic Protective
Device, the safest level for safety products.
The product received an EC type test certificate from the French INRS notified body,
required in Europe for safety equipment as per the 98/37/EC Machinery Directive. It
meets the applicable parts of North American standards and regulations (OSHA,
ANSI and CSA) for light curtains and control reliability and bears the CCSAus listing
mark, making it a product usable in all parts of the world.
The cross section of 42 mm2 x 55 mm2 / 1.65 in2 x 2.16 in2 makes installation possible
in tight spaces, especially with the help of the included mounting hardware. Indica-
tors provide information on the output status and failure diagnostics. The housing
has a dovetail slot mounting system to adapt brackets anywhere along the housing.
The optional FF-SRL60252 interface control module easily fit inside the machine
control panel with its DIN rail mount housing.

NOTICE
Improper use of the FF-SG light curtain
The cross-monitoring of the FF-SG static outputs is based upon a self-checking principle which guarantees the detection of an output short-
circuit and the detection of a short-circuit between the outputs (cross-fault detection). The FF-SRL60252 interface control module is
designed to be interfaced with Honeywell safety static outputs devices.
Compatibility of the FF-SG with any other emergency stop safety control module is not guaranteed.
