Temperatures below freezing may cause standard light curtains to not the functions properly.
Solution
Smartscan offers a host of light curtains that have heaters integrated into the safety light curtain. These heaters will allow the light curtain system to operate in temperatures as low as -30⁰F (-22⁰C). The T4 series and SG series not only have the heaters internal but also have a temperature monitoring circuit integrated that automatically turns the heater on and off as needed. This prevents additional components, controls and integration that would be need to get a standard light curtain to work in this harsh environment.
