Product Overview
Keyence GL-VM207FP is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the GL-V series. It uses 207 infrared beam axes for finger protection. The metal housing suits harsh factory floors. It pairs a transmitter and receiver with optical synchronization. No separate sync line is needed. The unit detects a ø14 mm object and covers a 2060 mm detection height. It responds in max. 12.5 ms. This fast trip time helps reduce stopping distance. The PNP OSSD output connects to safety relays or controllers. It is active in official Keyence production status. Oiltech Controls supplies tested units with a 12-month warranty.

Installation Guide
- Mount the transmitter and receiver facing each other. Keep the optical axis aligned.
- Use the 0.3 to 12 m detecting distance. Do not exceed this range.
- Keep the ±2.5° angular aperture in mind during alignment.
- Connect 24 VDC Class 2 power. Observe polarity.
- Wire the PNP OSSD outputs to a safety relay or safety controller.
- For two-unit use, set the series connection and switch setting to prevent interference.
- Mount the metal housing on a stable frame. This avoids vibration and shock issues.
- Check the IP65/IP67 seal after installation.
Setup and Maintenance
- Clean the front cover with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Check the optical alignment after any impact or frame movement.
- Confirm the OSSD output state during regular safety checks.
