On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the C4000 or with the machine
protected by the C4000.

2.1

Qualified safety personnel

The C4000 safety light curtain must be installed, connected, commissioned and serviced
only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons
who
due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the powerdriven equipment to be checked
and
who have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and safety regulations,
directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE
stipulations, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can
assess the work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
who have access to these operating instructions and who have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those
persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily
involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organisation operating the
ESPE.

2.2

Applications of the device

The safety light curtain C4000 is an item of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE).
The physical resolution is 14, 20, 30 or 40 mm with a maximum protective field width of
19 metres (resolution 20 mm and higher). The realisable protective field height is between
300 and 1,800 mm.
The device is a Type 4 ESPE as defined by EN 61 496C1 and IEC 61 496C2 and is therefore
allowed for use with controls in category 4 according to EN ISO 13 849C1. The emergency
stop monitoring in the device corresponds to stop category 0 in accordance with
EN ISO 13 850. The device is suitable for:
hazardous point protection (finger and hand protection)
hazardous area protection
access protection
Access to the hazardous point must be allowed only through the protective field. The
plant/system is not allowed to start as long as personnel are within the hazardous area.
Refer to chapter 3.3 Examples of range of use on page 17 for an illustration of the
protection modes.
Only use the safety light curtain as an indirect protective measure!
WARNING

An opto-electronic protective device provides indirect protection, e.g., by switching off the
power at the source of the hazard. It cannot provide protection from parts thrown out, nor
from emitted radiation. Transparent objects are not detected.
Depending on the application, mechanical protection devices may be required in addition
to the safety light curtain.

Note

The safety light curtain C4000 operates as a standalone system, comprising a sender and
receiver, or in combination with other cascadable C4000 systems. This means that the
protective field can be adapted to suit individual safety requirements.

2.3

Correct use

The C4000 safety light curtain must be used only as defined in section 2.2 Applications of
the device. It must be used only by qualified personnel and only on the machine where it
has been installed and initialised by qualified safety personnel in accordance with these
operating instructions.
If the device is used for any other purposes or modified in any way-also during mounting
and installation-any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.

Please refer to chapter 11 Technical specifications on page 73 for the data sheet.
Please refer to pages 84ff. for the dimensional drawings.
3.2.2

The light curtain principle

The safety light curtain C4000 consists of a sender and a receiver (Fig. 1). Between these
two units is the protective field, defined as the protective field height and the protective
field width.
The construction height determines the height of the protective field of the appropriate
system. For the exact protective field height, please see Tab. 36 ff. in chapter 11.5
Dimensional drawings on page 84.
The width of the protective field is derived from the dimension of the light path between
sender and receiver and must not exceed the maximum rated width of the protective field
(see Technical specifications on page 73).
Sender and receiver automatically synchronise themselves optically. An electrical connection between both components is not required.
The C4000 is modular in construction. All optical and electronic components and assemblies are housed in a slim and torsionally rigid housing.

3.2.3

Cascading

To provide effective point-of-operation guarding, a maximum of three C4000 can be

connected in series as a cascade. The device connected to the control cabinet is the
main sensor, called host. The subsequent sensors are called guest (cf. Fig. 1 on page 14).
Devices in the default delivery status and devices that have not yet been used in a
cascaded system can be connected together and immediately form a basically functional
cascade. Note the following:
Guest systems adopt any beam coding configured on the host system.
Any blanking configured on the guest systems is deleted.
Note

If safety light curtains are used in a cascaded system, the system position (host, guest 1 or
guest 2) is stored permanently in the device memory of the C4000. The device can no
longer be used as a standalone device or in a different system position. There is then no
chance of mistakes when setting up the system again after dismantling.
Reset the system position saved in the C4000 using the CDS or using the Host-Guest Plug
available as an accessory (see 12.7 Accessories on page 111).
Benefits of cascading
no additional external circuitry required Quick to connect
resolution and protective field height may differ among the individual systems
Limits of cascading
The maximum protective field width must be guaranteed for each individual system!
The maximum total number of beams must not exceed 480 beams in non-coded
operation, and a maximum of 405 beams in coded operation.
The maximum cable length between two cascaded systems must not exceed 3 metres.
3.2.4

Device variants

Different variants of the C4000 Standard/Advanced are available for various applications:
without extension connection,
can be used as a standalone system or as the last guest in a cascaded system
with M26 extension connection,

Configurable functions
This chapter describes the functions of the safety light curtain which are selectable via
software C4000. Some of the functions can be combined. An overview of the possible
combinations and possible limitation is given in chapter 4.11 Functions that cannot be
combined on page 39.
Note

The Clone Plug configuration tool is available for transferring already saved and tested
configurations from one C4000 to identical C4000 safety light curtains (see 12.7
Accessories on page 111). In a Clone Plug, you can successively save the configuration
of the sender and of the receiver. You can use the saved configuration either as a backup
or for cloning.
Test the protective device after any changes!

WARNING

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 (see section 7.3 on page 64).
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.
When starting to configure the device, you may save an application name with a maximum

the protective operation

The dangerous state of the machine ( ) is interrupted if the light path is broken ( ), and
is not re-enabled ( ) until the operator presses the reset button.
Note

Do not confuse the restart interlock with the starting interlock on the machine. The start
interlock prevents the machine starting at switch on. The restart interlock prevents the
machine starting again after an error or an interruption in the light path.
The restart interlock can be implemented in two different ways:
With the internal restart interlock of the C4000:
The C4000 controls the restart.
With the restart interlock of the machine (external):
The C4000 has no control over the restart.

WARNING

The C4000 is unable to verify if the restart interlock of the machine is operable. If in applications in which it is possible to stand behind the safety light curtain you deactivate both
the internal and the external restart interlock, you will place the machine operator in acute
danger.

Recommendation

You can indicate the status Reset required using a signal lamp. The C4000 has a dedicated output for this purpose. The electrical connection of the signal lamp is described in
chapter Connection of a signal lamp to the output Reset required on page 58.

Note

You can define whether the operator must press the reset button, or press and release it
to start the function. If you configure Press, then the reset is performed before the
operator releases the reset button again. This can be useful if you want, for example, to
use a two-hand control unit also as the reset button for the safety light curtain.
Never configure Reset after press if it is possible to stand behind the safety light
curtain!

WARNING

Reason: If pressing the reset button (without releasing it) is sufficient as the reset signal,
then the safety light curtain cannot differentiate the operation of the reset button from a
short-circuit to 24 V. In case of a short-circuit, the safety light curtain would be inadvertently reset. In this case the operator would be in serious danger.

Reset
If you want to activate the restart interlock on the C4000 (internal) and also a restart interlock on the machine (external), then each restart interlock has its own button.
When actuating the reset button (for the internal restart interlock)
the C4000 activates the switching outputs.
the safety light curtain changes to green.
Only the external restart interlock prevents the machine from restarting. After pressing the
reset button for the C4000, the operator must also press the restart button for the
machine. If the reset button and the restart button are not pressed in this specified
sequence, the dangerous state remains unchanged.
Recommendation

The reset button prevents the accidental and inadvertent operation of the external restart
button. The operator must first acknowledge the dangerous state with the reset button.

4.2

External device monitoring (EDM)

The EDM checks if the contactors actually de-energise when the protective device
responds. If you activate external device monitoring, then the C4000 checks the contactors after each interruption to the light path and prior to the machine restart. The EDM
can so identify if one of the contacts has welded, for instance. In this case the external
device monitoring places the system in the safe operational state. The OSSDs are not reactivated in this case.
Note

Emergency stop

The C4000 has an input for a two-channel emergency stop button.The emergency stop
monitoring in the device corresponds to stop category 0 in accordance with
EN ISO 13 850. You can connect e.g. a door contact or an emergency stop button to the
emergency stop input. The operation of the emergency stop button has the following
effect:
The safety light curtain deactivates the OSSDs.
The host switches to red.
The 7Csegment display on the host indicates
Notes

The emergency stop function deactivates the OSSDs even if the bypass function is
activated.
Take into account the response time of the emergency stop function! The response time of
the safety light curtain on interruption via the emergency stop input is up to 200 ms.
Pay attention to the way in which the emergency stop function works!

WARNING
Notes

The emergency stop button connected to the extension connection on the C4000 affects
only the switching outputs (OSSDs) on the C4000.
The C4000 checks after switch on whether an emergency stop has been configured and
whether a door switch or similar switch is connected. If the configuration and the electrical connection do not match, the system locks completely (lock-out). The 7Csegment
display will then show the error message
.
The safety light curtain has a signal output (ADO) at which the status of the emergency
stop input can be signalled. For details refer to the next section.
Regularly check the connected emergency stop button or door contact!

WARNING

By means of organisational measures ensure that the emergency stop button or door
contact is operated once at a specified interval.
This is necessary so that the C4000 can detect any fault that has occurred on the
emergency stop button or door switch. The interval is to be defined to suit the specific
case dependant on the application.
Always check whether the switching outputs on the light curtain are deactivated on the
operation of the emergency stop button or door switch.
The electrical connection of the emergency stop is described in chapter 6.9 Emergency
stop on page 60.

Note

The C4000 Guest does not have an extension connection. For this reason the emergency
stop function cannot be configured for a cascaded system with a C4000 Guest.

curtain displays Green and the 7Csegment display of the receiver displays .
Switch on the machine safely, when using the bypass function!

WARNING

As long as the bypass function is active, the safety light curtain does not detect any movements in the protective field. You must ensure that other protective measures are forcibly
activated during the bypass, e.g. the safe machine setup mode, so that the machine cannot endanger persons or parts of the machine during the bypass function.
The bypass function may only be activated by a key-operated pushbutton with an automatic reset and two levels or by two input signals that are independent of each other, e.g.
two position switches.

Beam coding

If several safety light curtains operate in close proximity to each other, the sender beams
of one system may interfere with the receiver of another system. With code 1 or 2 activated, the receiver can distinguish the beams designated for it from other beams. The following settings are available: non-coded, code 1 and code 2.
Use different beam codings if the systems are mounted in close proximity!
WARNING

Systems mounted in close proximity to each other must be operated with different beam
codings (code 1 or code 2). If this precaution is neglected, the system may be impaired in
its protective function by the beams from the neighbouring system and so change to the
unsafe state. This would mean that the operator is at risk.

Beam coding increases the availability of the protected machine. Beam coding also enhances the resistance to optical interference such as weld sparks or similar.
In a cascaded system the host and guest always have the same beam coding. There is
no mutual interference.
Beam coding will increase the response time of the system. This will also change the
required minimum distance. Instructions can be found in chapter 5.1 Determining the

illuminated at the required scanning range.
If you are using the additional front screen (see page 110) available as an accessory,
the overall scanning range will be reduced by 8 % for each additional front screen.
The deflector mirrors available as accessories (see page 110f.) reduce the overall
scanning range as a function of the number of deflector mirrors in the light path (see
Tab. 8). When using deflector mirrors, you must configure the safety light curtain for a
long scanning range.
Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the
deflector mirrors is to be expected!

WARNING

26

The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection

behaviour. The protective function of the system will be affected and the system will thus
become unsafe. This would mean that the operator is at risk.

Blanking

The blanking function is only available on the C4000 Advanced.

The C4000 Advanced offers various ways of blanking the protective field. In this way in
many applications a higher level of safety and availability can be assured than would be
possible without the usage of the blanking function. This requires the careful analysis of
the usage of blanking as part of a risk analysis for these applications. Only if the analysis
produces advantages in reliability and thus advantages in safety when the blanking function is used the usage of the function is recommended.
The person responsible for the machine has the responsibility to decide whether or not to
use the blanking function and to undertake the installation, mounting and configuration of
the light curtain such that
the necessary safety is achieved on the machine
and
access to the hazardous area through the safety light curtain in conjunction with the
blanking function is prevented by other guards.

Blanked areas require a separate risk analysis!

WARNING

A blanked area is in principle a hole in the protective field. Check in detail whether and
where blanking is actually required. You must protect the blanked area in another way, e.g.
mechanically. Otherwise you must take the blanked area into consideration in the
calculation of the minimum distance and mount the safety light curtain appropriately.

After modifying the blanking, check the protective field with the test rod. Instructions
can be found in chapter 7.3.3 on page 65.
Also pay attention to the warnings in the related chapter.

Properties of blanked areas

The C4000 Advanced is capable of blanking a total of four areas simultaneously.
Fixed and floating blanking can be mixed.
A minimum of one beam spacing must exist between two blanked areas. The CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software) automatically ensures that this is the case during the
configuration. Exception: It is not necessary to maintain any distance between an area
of floating blanking with partial object monitoring and an area of fixed blanking without
a positional tolerance. In this case the effective resolution for the overlapping is equal
to the sum of the effective resolutions in the two areas (see Tab. 11 and Tab. 12).
The first beam of the light curtain (close to the 7Csegment display) cannot be blanked. It
is needed for the synchronisation between sender and receiver.
With fixed blanking, the 7Csegment display indicates

Fixed blanking

Fig. 13: Schematic layout of

the fixed blanking

The C4000 Advanced safety light curtain is capable of fixed-blanking one or several
adjacent beams, e.g. to allow continued operation in spite of an obstruction such as a
table placed permanently in the light path.
The blanked area will no longer be part of the protective field. Objects to be blanked out
must therefore be permanently located inside the blanked area ( ). As soon as the object
is removed from the beam path, the safety light curtain will send a signal to stop the
dangerous movement ( ). Protection is otherwise no longer guaranteed.
Notes

On devices with a physical resolution of 14 or 20 millimetres, you can set an area

positional tolerance for the fixed blanking of maximum 2 beams. This is e.g. helpful
when blanking vibrating objects. The effective resolution of the light curtain does not
change due to the positional tolerance.
In addition you can define a size tolerance of 1 beam, i.e. the blanked object is
allowed to be a maximum of 1 beam smaller.
Depending on the size tolerance configured, the effective resolution reduces at the
edges of the blanked area as per Tab. 11. For this reason the moving area must always
be greater than the effective resolution at the edges of the area.
If you configure a blanked area without positional and without size tolerance, the movement of the object within the area is very limited before the safety light curtain may
change to red.
The maximum selectable tolerance values depend on the size of the blanked area: The
actual tolerance expansion in millimetres differs. It depends on the physical resolution
of the device.

Unlike the normal size tolerance for blanking, the increased size tolerance allows the
blanked object on a specific side of the area to be larger than the blanked area.
In the area of the increased size tolerance, the object can penetrate the protective field if
it does not exceed the increased size tolerance defined.

Notes

The increased size tolerance must not cover the last beam.
On fixed blanking with increased size tolerance, you cannot configure a positional tolerance or a normal size tolerance in addition.
You can expand the increased size tolerance to the next blanked area as a maximum, or to

Floating blanking

Fig. 16: Schematic layout of

the floating blanking

The C4000 Advanced safety light curtain is capable of blanking an area of two or more
adjacent beams ( ). In contrast to fixed blanking, the blanked area is allowed to move
( ) without the safety light curtain changing to red. The safety light curtain detects
whether the object is in the blanked area or not ( , so-called Object monitoring, see below
in chapter).
Notes

You cannot combine the function Floating blanking with partial object monitoring with
the function Reduced resolution (see page 36).
For each floating area with complete object monitoring you must choose a size
tolerance of 1 or 2 beams, i.e. the blanked object is allowed to be a maximum total
of 1 beam or 2 beams smaller.
Depending on the size tolerance configured, the effective resolution reduces at the
edges of the blanked area as per Tab. 11. For this reason the moving area must always
be greater than the effective resolution at the edges of the area.
The size of the blanked area for floating blanking with complete object monitoring must
be at least equal to the effective resolution.
The size tolerance of 2 beams can be used only in devices with a physical resolution of
14 mm and 20 mm.

Object monitoring
Despite the floating blanking of the area, the safety light curtain monitors whether there
are objects in the area with floating blanking. For areas with floating blanking you must
configure which type of object monitoring is to apply to the areas:
Tab. 10: Types of object
monitoring for floating

Notes

Object
monitoring

Description

Complete

The blanked area must be completely covered by the object within the
size tolerance. If this is not the case, then the safety light curtain
switches to red.

Partial

The blanked area does not need to be covered by an object. However

within the size tolerance it can be partially or completely covered. If
you have configured several areas with floating blanking, then only
one area can use this setting.

Directly adjacent to the area with floating blanking with partial object monitoring you
can only configure areas with fixed blanking.
During operation an area with floating blanking with partial object monitoring is allowed
to overlap with an area of fixed blanking without positional tolerance.
Blanked areas require a separate risk analysis!

WARNING

A blanked area is in principle a hole in the protective field. Check in detail whether and
where blanking is actually required. You must protect the blanked area in another way, e.g.
mechanically. Otherwise you must take the blanked area into consideration in the
calculation of the minimum distance and mount the safety light curtain appropriately.

Effective resolution for blanking

The effective resolution of an optical system depends on both its optical components and
on its configuration. The effective resolution cannot be higher than the highest possible
physical resolution of the system. However, it can be reduced by the configuration, e.g. by
blanking beams.
In conjunction with size tolerance, the effective resolution is reduced at the edges of the
blanked areas. For blanking with size tolerance, the effective resolution depends on the
physical resolution and the size tolerance chosen.
Check the minimum distance!
WARNING

When using floating blanking with increased size tolerance, the required minimum
distance will depend on the effective resolution (see Tab. 11).
If required, recalculate the minimum distance and readjust it on the machine.
Example: physical resolution 14 mm
size tolerance 2 beams
effective resolution 22 mm
Calculate the minimum distance with a resolution of 22 mm (see page 40).
Mark the effective resolution on the information label Operation with blanking

Teach-in of blanked areas

Teach-in enables the operator to re-define the size of blanked areas in a simple manner by
introducing an object of appropriate size into the protective field at the required position.
This is, e.g., useful during a tool change.
Requirements
To be able to use the teach-in function, the application must meet the following requirements:
A reset button is connected to the C4000 Advanced and is correctly configured (see
chapter 6.7 Reset button on page 58).
A teach-in key-operated switch or a comparable tamper-proof device, e.g. an MMI with
password protection is connected to the C4000 Advanced (see section 6.8 Teach-in
key-operated switch on page 59).
As an option you can connect a switch for deactivating blanking to the C4000 Advanced
(see section 6.8 Teach-in key-operated switch on page 59).
You have already configured the number and type of blanked areas as well as the tolerances with the aid of the CDS.
You have activated the option Teach-in key-operated switch active in the CDS:
Device symbol C4000 Host (receiver), context menu Configuration draft, Edit, file card
General, option Teach-in key-operated switch active.
Limits for teach-in operation
You can only activate the teach-in function for the entire system. It is not possible to
limit the teach-in to specific sub-systems (host, guest), specific areas, or specific
operating modes.
TeachCin is not available in connection with C4000 Guest devices with M12 system
connection (type code C46).
Prevent teach-in in areas or operating modes where it is not intended to be used!
WARNING

A successfully completed teach-in process changes the size and, for fixed blanking, also
the position of the blanked areas. Areas of unsuitable size or in an unsuitable position
can reduce the availability of the system. For this reason:
Ensure by means of organisational measures that the operator only teaches in those
areas and only in those operating modes that are also suitable in relation to the
application.
Ensure that only authorised persons have access to the teach-in key.
You cannot add or delete any blanked areas using teach-in. Use the CDS to define the
number of blanked areas.
If you use a SICK switching amplifier (e.g. UE402) in conjunction with an operating
mode selector switch, then the change in the operating mode is effective when the
teach-in key-operated switch has been set to the Operation position again. The taughtin areas always apply for the operating mode that was set when the teach-in keyoperated switch was switched on.
The mounting position can change slightly on a device change. For this reason it is recommended in this case to teach-in the areas again.

This is how you teach-in a blanked area:

Set the teach-in key-operated switch to the Teach-in position.
The safety light curtain changes to red.
Guide the object or objects into the protective field.
You must guide an object of suitable size into the protective field for all blanked areas.
There must be no other objects in the protective field.
Press the reset button for at least 0.2 seconds.
After the button is released, the C4000 Advanced saves the interrupted part of the protective field as a blanked area. The 7Csegment display on the receiver indicates if the
objects represent valid areas to be blanked.
Note

If the number or arrangement of the objects does not match the configured areas for
the individual system, or the necessary minimum distance is not met, then the old areas
for the system remain valid. In this case the 7Csegment display on the receiver indicates
. You can correct the arrangement and repeat the step.
Set the teach-in key-operated switch back to the Operation position, and remove the
key. The safety light curtain performs a switch on cycle (see page 63) and is ready for
use.
Test the protective device after teach-in!
Test the entire protective device for effectiveness (see 7.3 on page 64).

WARNING

Check whether the safety light curtain behaves as expected when you introduce the
object into the protective field, remove it again, or operate the system without the
object.
If required, recalculate the minimum distance and readjust it on the machine.
With the aid of the CDS diagnostics function, you can check whether defined areas have
been changed using teach-in. Menu Project, Connect. Then device symbol for the related
system, context menu Diagnostics, Show.

Note

Reduced resolution

The reduced resolution function is only available on the C4000 Advanced.

Under reduced resolution, the safety light curtain ignores the interruption of 1, 2 or 3
adjacent beams. Objects which are not larger than specified in Tab. 13 may be moved
through the safety light curtain without the light curtain changing to red (Fig. 20,

Installation and mounting

This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the installation of the safety light
curtain C4000. The installation and mounting requires two steps:
determining the necessary minimum distance
installation with swivel mount or side brackets
The following steps are necessary after mounting and installation:
making the electrical connections (chapter 6)
aligning sender and receiver unit (chapter 7.2)
checking the installation (chapter 7.3)

5.1

Determining the minimum distance

The safety light curtain must be mounted with the correct minimum distance
from the hazardous point
from reflective surfaces
No protection without correct minimum distance!
WARNING

The reliable protective effect of the light curtain depends on the system being mounted
with the correct minimum distance from the hazardous point.

5.1.1

Minimum distance from the hazardous point

A minimum distance must be maintained between the safety light curtain and the
hazardous point. This minimum distance ensures that the hazardous point can only be
reached after the dangerous state of the machine has been completely stopped.
The minimum distance as defined in EN ISO 13 855 and EN ISO 13 857 depends on:
stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine documentation or must be
determined by taking a measurement.)
response time of the entire protective device, e.g. C4000 consisting of host and guest
(response times, see chapter Response time on page 79)
reach or approach speed
resolution of the light curtain and/or beam separation
other parameters that are stipulated by the standard depending on the application
Under the authority of OSHA and ANSI the minimum distance as specified by
ANSI B11.19:2003@04, Annex D and Code of Federal Regulations, Volume 29,
Part 1910.217 (h) (9) (v) depends on:
stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine documentation or must be

How to calculate the minimum distance S according to EN ISO 13 855 and

EN ISO 13 857:
Note

The following calculation shows an example calculation of the minimum distance.

Depending on the application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be
necessary.
First, calculate S using the following formula:
S = 2000 T + 8 (d 14) [mm]
Where
T = Stopping/run-down time of the machine
+ response time of the protective device after light path interruption [s]
d = Resolution of the light curtain [mm]
S = Minimum distance [mm]
The reach/approach speed is already included in the formula.
If the result S is

500 mm, then use the determined value as the minimum distance.

If the result S is > 500 mm, then recalculate S as follows:

S = 1600 T + 8 (d 14) [mm]
If the new value S is > 500 mm, then use the newly determined value as the minimum
distance.
If the new value S is

500 mm, then use 500 mm as the minimum distance.

Example:
Stopping/run-down time of the machine = 290 ms
Response time after light path interruption = 30 ms
Resolution of the light curtain = 14 mm
T = 290 ms + 30 ms = 320 ms = 0.32 s
S = 2000 0.32 + 8 (14 14) = 640 mm
S > 500 mm, therefore:
S = 1600 0.32 + 8 (14 14) = 512 mm

How to calculate the minimum distance Ds according to ANSI B11.19:2003@04,

Annex D and Code of Federal Regulations, Volume 29, Part 1910.217 (h) (9) (v):
Note

The following calculation shows an example calculation of the minimum distance.

Depending on the application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be
necessary.
Calculate Ds using the following formula:
Ds = Hs (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + Dpf
Where
Ds = The minimum distance in inches (or millimetres) from the hazardous point to the
detection point, plan or zone
Hs = A parameter in inches/second or millimetres/second, derived from data on
approach speeds of the body or parts of the body. Often 63 inches/second
(1600 millimetres/second) is used for Hs.
Ts = Stopping time of the machine tool measured at the final control element
Tc = Response time of the control system
Tr = Response time of the presence-sensing device and its interface
Tbm = Additional response time allowed for brake monitor to compensate for wear

Note

Any additional time delays must be accounted for in this calculation.

Dpf = An additional distance added to the overall minimum distance required. This
value is based on intrusion toward the hazardous point prior to actuation of the
electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). Values range from 0.25 inches to
48 inches (6 to 1220 millimetres) or more depending on application.
Example:
In opto-electronic protection, such as with a perpendicular safety light curtain
applications with object sensitivity (effective resolution) less than 2.5 inches (64
millimetres), the Dpf can be approximated based on the following formula:
Dpf (inches) = 3.4 (object sensitivity 0.276), but not less than 0.

Minimum distance to reflective surfaces

The light beams from the sender may be deflected by reflective surfaces. This can result in
failure to identify an object.
All reflective surfaces and objects (e.g. material bins) must therefore be located at a
minimum distance a from the protective field of the system. The minimum distance (a)
depends on the distance (D) between sender and receiver.

The field of view of the sender and receiver optics is identical.

How to determine the minimum distance from reflective surfaces:
Determine the distance (D) [m] sender-receiver.
Read the minimum distance (a) [mm] from the graph:

Fig. 24: Graph, minimum

distance from reflective
surfaces

Note

If under any circumstances the minimum distance to reflective surfaces in the application
can not be achieved, there are measures to minimize the amount of deflection and the
resulting reduction of the resolution of the safety light curtain.
To verify whether these measures are sufficient to minimize the residual risk caused by the
reduction of the resolution of the safety light curtain, an overall risk assessment of the
application needs to be done by the manufacturer of the machine.

Steps for mounting the device

Special features to note during mounting:

Always mount the sender and receiver parallel to one another.
WARNING

During mounting, make sure that sender and receiver are aligned correctly. The optical
lens systems of sender and receiver must be located in exact opposition to each other;
the display elements must be mounted at the same height. The system plugs of both
devices must point in the same direction.
Take suitable measures to attenuate vibration if the shock requirements are above the
values given in chapter 11.1 Data sheet on page 77.
Observe the minimum distance of the system during mounting. On this topic read the
chapter Determining the minimum distance on page 40.
Connect a maximum of three systems into a cascaded system.
Always connect sender-sender and receiver-receiver within a system configuration.
Mount the safety light curtain such that the hazardous point cannot be reached from
below, above or behind the safety light curtain and that the light curtain cannot be
repositioned.

Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive safety information labels must be affixed.
Use only labels in the language which the operators of the machine understand.
Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the operators during
operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the information labels
must not be concealed from view.
Affix the information label Important Notices to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.
Operation with floating blanking: Affix the information label for floating blanking to
each sender or receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the
information label.
For operation with reduced resolution: Affix the information label for reduced resolution to each sender or receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the information label.

Sender and receiver can be mounted in two different ways:

mounting with swivel mount bracket
mounting with side bracket
5.2.1

Mounting with swivel mount bracket

The swivel mount bracket is made of black polyamide PA6. The bracket is designed such
that sender and receiver can still be accurately aligned even after the bracket has been
mounted.
The swivel mount bracket is also suitable for mounting the deflector mirrors PNS75 and
PNS125 (see chapter 11.5.9 f. on page 91 f.).
Note

Attach the bolts of the swivel mount bracket with a torque of between 2.5 and 3 Nm.
Higher torques can damage the bracket; lower torques provide inadequate protection
against vibration.

Mounting with side bracket

The side bracket is made of die cast zinc ZP 0400. It is enamelled in black. The side
bracket will be covered by the device after mounting. But it is only suitable for mounting
surfaces lying parallel to the desired protective field because the alignment of sender and
receiver can only be adjusted by a maximum of 2.5 after mounting.

Mounting the C4000 Guest with swivel mount bracket Guest

The swivel mount bracket is made of sheet steel. The bracket is designed such that sender
and receiver can still be accurately aligned even after the bracket has been mounted.
The advantages of this bracket are quick and easy assembly. If the C4000 Guest needs to
be replaced, then by undoing the top bracket in the drawing (centring mount), the need
to re-align the replacement device can be avoided. The lock nut defines the alignment
(positioning mount).

If you connect loads that are not reverse-polarity protected to the OSSDs or the safety
outputs, you must connect the 0 V connections of these loads and those of the
corresponding protective device individually and directly to the same 0 V terminal strip.
This is the only way to ensure that, in the event of a defect, there can be no potential
difference between the 0 V connections of the loads and those of the corresponding
protective device.

Notes

The two outputs are protected against short-circuits to 24 V DC and 0 V. When the light
path is clear, the signal level on the outputs is HIGH DC (at potential), when the light
beams are interrupted or there is a device fault the outputs are LOW DC.
The safety light curtain C4000 meets the interference suppression requirements (EMC)
for industrial use (interference suppression class A). When used in residential areas it
can cause interference.
To ensure full electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), functional earthing (FE) must be
connected.
The external voltage supply of the devices must be capable of buffering brief mains
voltage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60 204C1. The power supply unit must
provide safe isolation (SELV/PELV). Suitable power supplies are available as
accessories from SICK (see section 12.7 Accessories on page 111).
System connections and extension connections in a cascaded system must be connected only if the system is off line. The configuration connection however, may be
connected/disconnected with the system on line.

External device monitoring (EDM)

The EDM checks if the contactors actually de-energise when the protective device
responds. If, after an attempted reset, the EDM does not detect a response from the
switched device within 300 ms, the EDM will deactivate the OSSD switching outputs again.

You must implement the external device monitoring electrically by the positive closing
action of both N/C contacts (k1, k2) when the contact elements (K1, K2) reach their
deCenergised position after the protective device has responded. 24 V is then applied at
the input of the EDM. If 24 V is not present after the response of the protective device,
then one of the contact elements is faulty and the external device monitoring prevents the
machine starting up again.
Notes

If you connect the contact elements to be monitored to the EDM input, then you must
activate the option EDM in the CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software. If not, the device will show the error
.
If you later deselect the EDM option, pin 6 of the system plug must not remain connected to 24 V.

Key-operated pushbutton for bypass

The bypass function may only be activated by a key-operated pushbutton with an

automatic reset and two levels or by two input signals that are independent of each other,
e.g. two position switches.
The key-operated pushbutton for bypass is connected to the same connections as the
emergency stop signal instead of the emergency stop signal. You can design it also as
equivalent (N/C / N/C) or complementary (N/O / N/C). See section 6.9 Emergency stop
on page 60.

Notes

Mount the key-operated pushbutton for bypass in such a way that the hazardous point
is completely visible when the key-operated pushbutton is used.
The key-operated pushbutton for bypass must have volt-free contacts.
When you connect the key-operated pushbutton for bypass to the C4000, you can
connect a teach-in key-operated switch only to the UE402. An emergency stop signal
can therefore no longer be connected, as it uses the same connections.
On a cascaded system with a C4000 Guest or a C4000 without extension connection as
the last guest, you can only connect the key-operated pushbutton for bypass to a
switching amplifier.
You must configure the switching mode of the key-operated pushbutton for bypass to

Using sens:Control, the intelligent interface technology for safety systems, SICK provides
you with an entire range of interface products that were specially developed for interfacing
safety products and machines.
For complex applications the C4000 can be integrated into UE100 sens:Control family
safety systems. In this way the functions of the safety light curtain can be enhanced and
corresponding applications realised.
All C4000 Standard/Advanced variants are equipped with an EFI (safe SICK device communication). All safety-relevant signals are transmitted using this interface. A bus interface
to a safe fieldbus is possible using the series UE1000 Intelliface device family.

Display

Meaning

The receiver cannot synchronise with the sender; the alignment is very
poor.
Some light beams do not hit the receiver.
All the light beams hit the receiver, but the alignment is still slightly off.
No display The alignment is now true; the devices must be locked in this position.
or
Display appears if the device is operated with reduced resolution
and/or with blanking.

Notes

If the optimum alignment (= no display) persists for longer than 2 minutes, the system
automatically deactivates the alignment mode.
If you wish to readjust the alignment later, switch the power supply of the C4000 off and
back on again.
The host in a cascaded system remains on red until all guests have been correctly
aligned.

7.3

Test notes

The purpose of the tests described in the following is to confirm the safety requirements
specified in the national/international rules and regulations, especially the safety
requirements in the Machine and Work Equipment Directive (EU Conformity).
These tests are also used to identify if the protection is affected by external light sources
or other unusual ambient effects.
These tests must therefore always be performed.
7.3.1

Tests before the first commissioning

Check the effectiveness of the protective device mounted to the machine, using all
selectable operating modes as specified in the checklist in the annex (see 13.2 on
page 116).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the safety light curtain
are correctly instructed by qualified safety personnel before being allowed to operate
the machine. Instructing the operating personnel is the responsibility of the machine
owner.
Annex 13.2 of this document shows a checklist for review by the manufacturer and
OEM. Use this checklist as a reference before commissioning the system for the first
time.
7.3.2

Regular inspection of the protective device by qualified safety personnel

Check the system, following the inspection intervals specified in the national rules and
regulations. This procedure ensures that any changes on the machine or manipulations
of the protective device are detected before use/re-use.
If any modifications have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the
safety light curtain has been changed or repaired, the system must be checked again as
specified in the checklist in the annex.

7.3.3

Daily functional checks of the protective device

The effectiveness of the protective device must be checked daily by a specialist or by

authorised personnel, using the correct test rod.
Note

Always test along the complete hazardous area to be protected, never solely at the
mounting position of the light curtain.
How to check the effectiveness and proper function of the safety light curtain:
Select the correct test rod depending on device resolution. By means of the configuration, the entire system or individual areas can have a physical resolution that is
different to the effective resolution, e.g. in case of blanking or reduced resolution. In
this case you must select the test rod to suit the effective resolution. The effective
resolution is described with the related function in chapter 4.
Example:

physical resolution 14 mm
operation with resolution reduced by 1 beam
effective resolution 22 mm
Use the test rod for a resolution of 22 mm.

Do not operate the machine if the green or yellow LED is lit during the test!
WARNING

If the green or yellow LED lights up during the test even for a short period, work must stop
at the machine. In this case the mounting and the configuration of the safety light curtain
must be checked by qualified safety personnel (see chapter 5).
Before inserting the test rod, check that the green LED is lit if the internal restart interlock is deactivated or, if the internal restart interlock is activated, that the yellow LED
flashes (Reset required). If this is not the case, make sure that this condition is
reached. The test is otherwise meaningless.
Move the test rod slowly through the protective field to be tested, as shown in
Fig. 43.

in

Then move the test rod along the edges of the protective field, as shown in in Fig. 43.
This procedure allows you to test if the point-of-operation/reaching behind protection is
functioning properly (see 5.2 Steps for mounting the device on page 44).
If you use one or more deflector mirrors (e.g. PNS), then also guide the test rod slowly
through the protective field directly in front of the mirrors.
If you use the blanking function (see section 4.8 Blanking on page 27), then the
protective field is divided into several sections. In this case check all sections of the
protective field.
Note

During all tests, only the red LED is allowed to illuminate on the C4000 receiver.

Care and maintenance

The safety light curtain C4000 is maintenance-free. The front screen of the safety light
curtain C4000 and any additional front screen(s) (see Additional front screen (weld spark
guard) on page 110) should be cleaned at regular intervals and when dirty.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Note

Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. You can prevent
this effect by using the antistatic plastic cleaner (SICK part number 5600006) and the
SICK lens cloth (part number 4003353).
How to clean the front screen and/or the additional front screen (optional extra):
Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the front screen.
Then wipe the front screen with a clean and damp cloth.

Note

The maximum rated load inductance is higher with lower switching sequence.

When active, the outputs are tested cyclically (brief LOW). When selecting the downstream controllers, make
sure that the test pulses do not result in deactivation when using the above parameters.
Make sure to limit the individual line core resistance to the downstream controller to this value to ensure that

On the utilisation of this protective field width, it must be expected the orange LED will illuminate (cleaning or
realignment required). The system then only has a reserve of 30 %.

Response time

The response time depends on the following parameters:

number of beams
beam coding
configuration of floating blanking
number of cascaded systems
the output signal switching device used (see section 11.3.1 Different response times
on page 81)
How to determine the response time of the system:
Read the response times of the individual systems (shown on type label). Note whether
the system is operated with or without beam coding.
Note

If you are planning the application without actually having any devices available, you
may also determine the response time using Tab. 31 and Tab. 32. When determining
the number of beams in Tab. 31, the physical resolution is important. The physical
resolution of the light curtain does not change even if fixed or floating blanking has
been selected.
Fill out the following table to determine the total response time.

Different response times

In the following cases the total response time of a cascaded system is reduced by 14 ms:
If interruption of the dangerous movement through the protective field of the guest can
be excluded, i.e. if interruption is only possible by the host (e.g. if the guest is used for
point-of-operation guarding; see Fig. 5 on page 17).
or
If the interruption through the protective field of the guest can be assumed to be at a
low approach speed (e.g. if the guest prevents reaching under the host).
Response time if external OSSDs are switched
If you use the OSSDs on another device via the EFI as external switching outputs (for
example those on a sens:Control device), the response time will increase by 4 ms.

When using deflector mirrors, the overall scanning range is reduced (see Tab. 8 on
page 27).
Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the
deflector mirrors is to be expected!

WARNING

8009861/WA65/2012-06-12
Subject to change without notice

The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection

behaviour. The protective function of the system will be affected and the system will thus
become unsafe. This would mean that the operator is at risk.

When using deflector mirrors, the overall scanning range is reduced (see Tab. 8 on
page 27).
Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the
deflector mirrors is to be expected.

WARNING

92

The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection

behaviour. The protective function of the system will be affected and the system will thus
become unsafe. This would mean that the operator is at risk.

Notes

Additional front screen (weld spark guard)

Two additional front screens (weld spark guards) supplied for each part number.
The additional front screen fits both on the sender and on the receiver.
The additional front screen may be used only if the curved enclosure side is accessible.
An additional front screen reduces the scanning range of the system by 8 %. If sender
and receiver each use an additional front screen, the scanning range will be reduced by
16 %.
