2.4 General protective notes and protective measures
Safety notes
Please observe the following procedures in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
safety light curtain C 4000.
$ The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, use and
periodic technical inspections of the safety light curtain, in particular:
– Machine Directive 98/37/EEC
– Equipment Usage Directive 89/655/EEC
– the work safety regulations/safety rules
– other relevant health and safety regulations
Manufacturers and operators of the machine with which the safety light curtain is used
are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
$ The notices, in particular the test regulations (see “Test notes” on page 57) of these
operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the existing
machine controller) must be observed.
$ Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function. After
every change to the configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of the
protective device.
The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct protective function
of the device. When making configuration changes, please always use the password
hierarchy provided by SICK to ensure that only authorised persons make changes to the
configuration. The SICK service team is available to provide assistance if required.
$ The tests must be carried out by specialist personnel or specially qualified and autho-
rised personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests can be
reconstructed and retraced at any time.
$ The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where
the safety light curtain C 4000 is fitted. The machine operator is to be instructed in the
use of the device by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating
instructions.
$ The external voltage supply of the device must be capable of buffering brief mains vol-
tage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60)204-1. Suitable power supplies are available
as accessories from SICK (Siemens type series 6 EP 1).
