Durable, Impact-resistant Body and Long,
20-m Sensing Distance Has Arrived.
OMRON Safety Light Curtains continue to evolve through innovation. The MS4800 Series now joins the lineup with a host of
impor tant features. Hardware aspects include a tough, durable body, a long sensing distance of up to 20 m, and a
Programming and Diagnostics Module for flexible production line adaptability. Software provides a wide range of functions,
such as blanking and muting.
The MS4800 Series offers powerful performance in virtually every production situation, meeting the needs of every
application.
Apply the MS4800 Series to the safety protection applications that you've always wanted, but were never before possible.
Functional Applications
Three-sided Guard
The durable housing of the MS4800
Series makes it ideal for applications
with strong vibration, like metal
processing systems. Its sensing
distance of up to 20 m also lets you use
mirrors to guard three sides with a
single MS4800 system.
Muting
(MSF4800A only)
Combining the MSF4800A and the
MS4800-RM6 Muting Module lets you
set muting without having to use an
external controller.
Floating Blanking
(Advanced series only)
Floating blanking can be set for one or
two beams. When the number of set
beams are interrupted, the output is
turned OFF.
Reduced Resolution Blanking
(Advanced series only)
Reducing the detection resolution of the
MS/MSF4800A Safety Light Curtain
increases the size of the smallest
detectable object. This can improve
productivity by allowing objects such as
carts to enter the sensing area.
Durable Housing with a Thickness of 3 mm Min. Withstands Vibration and Impacts
Unlike conventional Safety Light
Curtains, the MS4800 Series uses a
thick aluminum case (3 mm at its
thinnest parts). This makes it ideal for
applications with considerable vibration
or impacts.
3 mm
Long Maximum Sensing Distance of 20 m
The long, 20-m maximum sensing
distance of the MS4800 Series marks the
highest level in the industry. Even in
applications where large, complicated
machines are guarded, the use of mirrors
can reduce the number of Safety Light
Curtains required.

A Wide Lineup for a Variety of Applications
Two series are available to meet
your needs: the Advanced Series
with sophisticated functions and
the Basic Series with specialized,

Series Connection of Up to Four Systems with No Controller Necessary
(Allowing a total of 256 beams max.) (MSF4800 only)
Up to four systems can be connected in series (for a total of 256 beams) without having
to connect a controller. Models for which the smallest detectable object is different can
even be connected to respond flexibly to virtually any application.

and Diagnostics Module to Simplify Function
Setting and Beam Adjustment.
The Programming and Diagnostics Module provides for easy, intuitive operation with a host of
advanced functions and English/Japanese language selection. This advanced Safety Light
Cur tain makes it possible to visualize safety with its easy-to-see indicators. Plus, its many
functions allow it to adapt to virtually any application.
Intuitive Operation with the Programming and Diagnostics Module (PDM)
Complete with an LCD that displays in either English or Japanese, the PDM makes it easy
and intuitive to program, change settings, and troubleshoot the MS4800 Series.
•
Easy operation with five function buttons.
•
Allows setting changes and status monitoring.
•
IP65 protection.
•
Safety outputs operate while the PDM is connected, making it possible to monitor during
operation.

Easy-to-understand Individual Beam Indicators (IBI)
The MS4800-series Receiver is equipped with OMRON STI's unique Individual Beam
Indicator (IBI) function. When a beam is interrupted, or when it is out of alignment, an
individual LED lights at each corresponding Receiver beam position to notify the operator.
This makes it easy to align beams even from a distance. An error code is also displayed
when an error is occurs. (This function is provided only on the Receiver.)

This notifies the operator that the beams are interrupted.
Four Blanking Functions for Disabling Beams
(Advanced series only)
When a machine or a workpiece is present inside the sensing area of the Safety
Light Curtain, the output turns OFF and the machine cannot be started.
However, a blanking function can be used to disable the appropriate beams of
the Safety Light Curtain and allow work to continue without stopping the
machine. The MS4800 Series provides four blanking functions to combine both
safety and productivity in a wide range of applications.
Fixed Blanking
This function is used when a machine or workpiece constantly interrupts beams in a part of the sensing
area. Fixed Blanking allows the Safety Light Curtain to remain in the RUN state while the obstruction is
fixed (as a non-moving object) within the sensing area. The output is turned OFF when a beam other
than the set fixed blanking beams is interrupted, or when light is incident on a fixed blanking beam.
Fixed Blanking
Floating Blanking
This function turns OFF the output when the total number of interrupted beams inside the
sensing area exceeds the number of set beams (1 or 2).
Monitored Blanking
This function is used when a machine or workpiece constantly interrupts beams in a part of the
sensing area and moves within the sensing area. Monitored Blanking allows the Safety Light
Curtain to remain in the RUN state while the obstruction moves within the sensing area. The output is
turned OFF when the machine or workpiece disappears from the monitored blanking area that was set
by teaching, or when the total number of interrupted beams increases due to a different obstruction.
Floating Blanking
Reduced Resolution Blanking
When the resolution of the MS/MSF4800A is reduced, the size of the smallest detectable object is
increased. The output will not turn OFF regardless of how many continuous interrupted beams there
are in the sensing area as long as the beams are fewer than the set number (1, 2, or 3 beams).
When an object whose size exceeds the set number of beams intrudes, the output is turned OFF. For
example, in an application where a conveyor cart approaches a robot work area, the Safety Light
Curtain can be set so that it does not detect only the wheels of the cart, allowing the MS/MSF4800A
Reduced Resolution Blanking
to be used as a presence sensing device.
Muting Functions for Temporarily Disabling the Safety Light Curtain
(MSF4800A only)
In applications where it is necessary for an object to regularly pass through the sensing
area, for example to supply workpieces to a machine, the output will turn OFF each
time the object passes through, thus lowering productivity. The muting function makes
it possible to raise productivity in this kind of application by temporarily disabling the
Safety Light Curtain.
Select from among four muting modes to match each application with the appropriate
number and placement of muting sensors.
The MS4800-RM6 Resource
Module is required when
using the muting function.
Complies with the Newest Global Safety Standards
The MS4800-series Safety Light Curtains comply with ISO 13849-1 (Safety Category 4, Ple).
They are Type 4 safety light curtains under the IEC 61496-1 and IEC 61496-2 international
standards for safety light curtains. They also comply with the
IEC 61508 (SIL3) international standard for function safety.
These standards ensure safe, reliable use virtually anywhere.
