Alternatively, the Software Assistant will guide you through the appropriate setting. If you use the SICK switching amplifier UE402, you will find the functions under the same names, however to some extent in different places in the CDS Configuration dialog box.
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.
Software Version: 3.0.0 and later and switching amplifiers in the SICK sens:Control product family cascading of up to three C4000 C4000 Advanced In addition to the features of the C4000 Standard, the Advanced version offers: blanking of several areas blanking with tolerance of up to 2 beams floating blanking...

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”...
Electrical installation Operating Instructions Chapter 6 C4000 Standard/Advanced For the connection of pin 9 and 10 only use cable with twisted cores, e.g. the SICK Notes connection cables available as accessories (see chapter 12.7 “Accessories” on page 111). If you do not use EFI device communication, to improve the EMC behaviour we...
A connection to the “Reset required” output can only be made in the control cabinet A teach-in key-operated switch can only be connected to a SICK switching amplifier A key-operated pushbutton for bypass can only be connected to a SICK switching...
If you connect a teach-in key-operated switch to the C4000, then you can no longer use the emergency stop function or the bypass function in the C4000. If you use a SICK switching amplifier, then you can also connect the teach-in key-ope- rated switch to the switching amplifier. There is more information in the operating instructions for the switching amplifier.
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 com- munication). 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.
Configuration Default delivery status As delivered the C4000 is configured ready for protective operation. The C4000 Standard without extension connection is also available as an option with the pre-configurations C, D, E, F and R. You can change the pre-configuration at any time with the aid of the CDS.
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. You can prevent Note 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.
12 s receiver before ready For detailed information on the safety design of your machine/system, please contact your SICK subsidiary. These values apply to systems with a resolution of 14 mm. As a rule systems with other resolutions will achieve better results.
Pre-configured systems The C4000 Standard without extension connection is also available as an option with the pre-configurations C, D, E, F and R (see chapter 8.1 “Default delivery status” on page 66).
