Description
The Keyence SL-R12EX is an Intelligent Extension Application Unit in the SL-C Series safety light curtain family. It is designed for use with the SL-R11 Intelligent Safety Relay Unit and SL-U2 dedicated power supply unit, and expands the safety functionality of SL-C Series Type 4 safety light curtains. Refer to manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with your specific application.
The SL-R12EX draws its power directly from the SL-R11 or SL-U2 — it has no independent power supply input. Muting inputs are rated at 24 VDC / 2.3 mA with a maximum input voltage of 26.4 VDC and an ON-threshold of 19 V; bank selection inputs are rated at 24 VDC / 1.6 mA. The unit adds advanced application functions to the connected SL-C system including floating blanking (up to three beam axes), fixed blanking, blanking blind protection, and muting. The housing is constructed from polycarbonate and the unit weighs approximately 300 g.
The SL-R12EX must be installed inside a control panel or enclosure rated at minimum IP54 per IEC 60529. It is a dedicated add-on for the SL-C Series and must not be operated independently from that system.

About ACME MRO Solutions
We started ACME MRO Solutions to fix something we kept running into as contractors — plants down, parts slow, surplus listings you couldn\'t trust. Our goal is simple: get YOU the right component fast, with an honest description, so you can get back to running.
We describe what we see. Used items show signs of use; if a part has visible wear, damage, or a missing component, the condition description will say so. We don\'t claim anything is tested unless we tested it — and we don\'t bench-test parts where testing isn\'t practical or revealing (feed-through modules, breakers, mechanical components). When we do test something, we\'ll say so explicitly.
If something is our fault, we don\'t work through it — we make it right. We are proud to serve American manufacturing. Your uptime is our bottom line.
