miniTwin Safety Light Curtain – C2MT and C4MT Series
Each miniTwin stick contains both the sender and receiver elements, each symmetrically mounted in one half of a housing and separated by a central synchronisation beam. The diagram shows two identical miniTwin units offset by 180° working as both sender and receiver, in a 3 pair format. Each miniTwin can be used as part of a stand-alone pair, as 2 pair or with the additional purchase of a double plug cascade cable as a cascade (3 pair) format. When cascading in 2 pair or 3 pair there are no blind spots and the miniTwin automatically configures which pair acts as the host and which as the guest. An additional cascade cable is needed for 3 pair configurations, use 701-2962 for miniTwin up to 540mm, or 701-2971 for miniTwin over 600mm, use these to replace the detachable M12 connection plug on the rear of the miniTwin with a 2 x M12 dual plug connector.
Uniquely, the MiniTwin is both sender and receiver unit integrated in a single compact housing

Note
Two identical miniTwin-stick packages MUST always be ordered for a complete system.,Cable: Each miniTwin is supplied with an M12 5-pin 1-way system plug. To cascade 3 pairs you will need 2 x cascade cables. Either 701-2962 for miniTwin up to 540mm or 701-2971 for miniTwin over 600mm. These cascade cables have 2 x plugs and should be attached to the rear of your middle pair of miniTwin. The cascade extender cable 701-2974 can be used in conjunction with the 2 x cascade cables to increase the distance between miniTwin if required. Regardless of whether you use these devices stand-alone or in a 2 x pair or cascade format you will need to purchase 2 x M12 5-pin connector cable eg 523-0335.,Brackets: 2 x C-Fix and 2 x L-Fix brackets are supplied with each miniTwin. To mount (stand-alone only) as a flat installation on a profile frame or in a machine niche purchase optional O-Fix brackets 701-2978
