On safety
The organisation operating the machine on which the safety light curtain is used must
prevent bypassing of the protective field using suitable additional measures (see
“Additional measures to prevent bypassing of the protection” on page 58).
Changing the configuration requires a separate risk analysis. Check in detail whether
and where a configuration change is actually required.
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 qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorised 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 C4000 safety light curtain is fitted. The machine operator is to be instructed
in the use of the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the
operating instructions.
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. IEC 61496E1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to withstand a brief mains
failure of 20 ms as required by EN 60204E1. The power supply must provide safe mains
isolation (SELV/PELV) and have a current limit of max. 8 A. Suitable power supplies are
available as accessories from SICK (see section 13.5 “Accessories” on page 116).
2.5 Environmental protection
The C4000 safety light curtain has been designed to minimise environmental impact. It
uses only a minimum of power and natural resources.
At work, always act in an environmentally responsible manner. For this reason please note
the following information on disposal.
Disposal
Always dispose of unserviceable or irreparable devices in compliance with local/natio-
nal rules and regulations with respect to waste disposal.
We would be pleased to be of assistance on the disposal of these devices. Contact us.
