2.4 General safety notes and protective measures
WARNING
Safety notes
Please observe the following items in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
M4000 multiple light beam safety device.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commission-
ing, use and periodic technical inspections of the multiple light beam safety device, in
particular …
– Machinery Directive
– Work Equipment Directive
– the work safety regulations/safety rules
– other relevant safety regulations.
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the multiple light beam safety
device is used are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regula-
tions and rules.
The notices, in particular the test regulations (see “Test notes” on page 100) 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 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 M4000 multiple light beam safety device is fitted. The machine operator is to
be instructed in the use of the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instruc-
ted to read the operating instructions.
The external voltage supply of the devices must be capable of buffering brief mains
voltage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60204E1. Suitable power supplies are
available as accessories from SICK (Siemens type series 6 EP 1).
