What to do if my SICK miniTwin4 show a system fault?
If your SICK Security Sensors indicate a system fault, try the following: first, switch the voltage supply off and then back on. If that doesn't work, check all plug connectors, the FE connection, and the cable laying for any interference, such as EMC.
What to do if my SICK miniTwin4 show a system error?
If your SICK Security Sensors are showing a system error, you can try the following: Switch the voltage supply off and back on. If the display also lights up during repeated power-up during the start-up phase, replace the device. If the display lights up during operation, contact SICK support.
Why am I getting a fault due to ambient light with my SICK miniTwin4 Security Sensors, and how can I fix it?
A fault due to ambient light with your SICK Security Sensors could be caused by reflective surfaces or other safety light curtains. To resolve this, check the distance to these surfaces and, if necessary, mount non-reflective partitions.
What to do if there is a fault during communication between 2 twin sticks of SICK Security Sensors?
If you experience a fault during communication between two twin sticks, first check the alignment of the twin sticks. If a twin stick has been replaced, switch the voltage supply for both twin sticks off and then back on again.
How to troubleshoot a short-circuit, cross-circuit, or cable defect in SICK Security Sensors?
To troubleshoot a short-circuit, cross-circuit, or cable defect in SICK Security Sensors, check the function of the reset button to ensure it is not defective or continuously pressed. Also, inspect the wiring for short-circuits to 24 V or 0 V, the wiring between host and guest or between host, guest and guest, and the wiring between the two OSSDs.
What to do if the supply voltage is too low for my SICK Security Sensors?
If the supply voltage is too low for your SICK Security Sensors, check the supply voltage and the power supply unit. Replace any defective components if necessary.
What to do if configuration of EDM or reset not yet performed in SICK Security Sensors?
If the configuration of EDM or reset has not yet been performed, switch on the connected relay or the contactor, actuate the connected reset button, and check the cabling of Pin 2.
What to do if there is an error during configuration of EDM or reset or cabling of Pin 2 in SICK Security Sensors?
If you encounter an error during the configuration of EDM or reset, or with the cabling of Pin 2, repeat the configuration of EDM or reset and check the cabling of Pin 2.
How to fix EDM errors in SICK Security Sensors?
To fix EDM errors in SICK Security Sensors, check the contactors and their wiring, and fix the wiring error if necessary.
