Safety notes
Please observe the following procedures in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device in connection with the UE403.
• Please observe the notes in the chapter titled “General safety notes and protective
measures” of the M4000 Advanced operating instructions.
• The M4000 Advanced and UE403 operating instructions must be made available to the
operator of the machine with which the M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety
device is used in connection with the UE403. 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.
• 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 UE403 switching amplifier is connected directly to the M4000 Advanced multiple
light beam safety device and supplied with power from the M4000. Pay attention to the
related notes on the voltage supply in the operating instructions for the
M4000 Advanced.
2.5 Environmental protection
The UE403 switching amplifier 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.
2.5.1 Disposal
Unusable or irreparable devices should always be disposed as per the applicable national
regulations on waste disposal (e.g. European waste code 16 02 14).
• We would be pleased to be of assistance on the disposal of this device. Contact your
local SICK representative.
• Information on the individual materials in the UE403 is given in chapter 10 “Technical
specifications” on page 31.
