7 Mounting
T
his chapter describes the preparation and completion of the installation of the M4000
multiple light beam safety device. The mounting requires two steps:
determining the necessary minimum distance
mounting with swivel mount or side bracket, rigid or pivoting mounting bracket
T
he following steps are necessary after mounting and installation:
completing the electrical connections (chapter 8)
aligning sender and receiver (chapter 9.2)
testing the installation (chapter 9.3)
7.1 Determining the minimum distance
The M4000 multiple light beam safety device must be mounted with an adequate mini-
mum distance:
to the hazardous area
from reflective surfaces
WARNING
No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!
You must mount the multiple light beam safety device/s with the correct minimum
distance to the hazardous area. Otherwise the safe protection of the M4000 system is
not provided.
Risk of failure to detect!
Persons who are in the hazardous area but not in the light path between sender and
receiver are not detected by the M4000 system. It is therefore to be ensured that the
hazardous area is fully visible and any dangerous state can only be initiated if there are
no personnel in the hazardous area.
The M4000 system is not allowed to be used for hand and finger protection.
Read and follow the relevant safety standards!
The procedure described in the following sections for the calculation of the minimum
distance is no substitute for knowledge of the related safety standards.
Therefore read and follow in particular the standards stated in the following sections.
You will find further information on the application of the standards during the calculation
of the minimum distance in the SICK reference brochure “Guidelines Safe Machinery”
(part no. 8007988).
The applicable legal and official regulations apply to the use and mounting of the protec-
tive device. These regulations vary depending on the application.
