These operating instructions are addressed to planning engineers, developers and opera- tors of plants and systems which are to be protected by one or several C 4000 safety light curtains. It also addresses people who integrate the C 4000 into a machine, initialise its use, or who are in charge of servicing and maintaining the device.

If you use the SICK switching amplifier UE 402, you will find the functions under the same names, however to some extent in different places in the CDS Configuration dialog box.
C 4000 Entry/Exit 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 C 4000 or with the machine protected by the C 4000. Specialist personnel The safety light curtain C 4000 must be installed, commissioned and serviced only by specialist personnel.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where the safety light curtain C 4000 is fitted. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
C 4000 Entry/Exit Environmental protection The safety light curtain C 4000 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. For this reason please note the following information on disposal.
Please read this chapter before mounting, installing and commissioning the device. Note The descriptions of functions in this chapter only apply to the safety light curtain C 4000 Entry/Exit with the following entry on the type label in the Operating Instructions field: 8 010 235.
C 4000 Entry/Exit 3.2.2 The light curtain principle The safety light curtain C 4000 consists of a sender and a receiver (Fig. 1). Between these two units is the protective field, defined as the protective field length and the protective field width.
Point not visible: The bottom edge of the numbers on the 7-segment display is pointing towards the LED display. Device symbol C 4000 Entry/Exit (receiver) or C 4000 Entry/Exit (sender), context menu Configuration draft, Edit, option 7-segment display of the related device.
Always configure the application with restart interlock! Ensure that there is always a restart interlock. The C 4000 is unable to verify if the restart interlock of the machine is operable. If you deactivate both the internal and the machine’s WARNING restart interlock, the operators of the machine will be at an acute risk of injury.
C 4000 Entry/Exit Reset If you want to activate the restart interlock on the C 4000 (internal) and also a restart inter- lock on the machine (external), then each restart interlock has its own button. When actuating the reset button for the internal restart interlock …...
WARNING This is necessary so that the C 4000 can detect any fault that has occurred on the emer- gency stop button or door switch. The interval is to be defined to suit the specific case dependant on the application.
24. After activating the system, sender and receiver will briefly display the coding. Device symbol C 4000 Entry/Exit (receiver) or C 4000 Entry/Exit (sender), context menu Configuration draft, Edit, file card General, option Beam coding.
WARNING Note On the C 4000 Entry/Exit, a multiple sampling of 2 is the default setting. You can set the multiple sampling to up to 3 with the aid of the CDS. Device symbol C 4000 Entry/Exit (receiver), context menu Configuration draft, Edit, ...
This must not exceed 2 m/s. The objects must enter the beam path of the C 4000 from the same direction. During this process the C 4000 first dynamically teaches itself the distance between the objects. The C 4000 monitors this distance until the objects leave the beam path.
if the speed of an object exceeds 2.5 m/s. Sender test The C 4000 sender has a test input on pin 3 for checking the sender and the related receiver. During the test, the sender no longer emits light beams. Thus, it simulates — for the receiver —...
OSSD1 and OSSD2 must not be connected together. Notes The safety light curtain C 4000 meets the interference suppression requirements (EMC) for industrial use (interference suppression class A). When used in residential areas it can cause interference.
FE Green Functional earthing Functional earthing For the connection of pin 9 and 10 only use cable with twisted cores, e.g. the SICK con- Notes nection cables available as accessories (see chapter 12.5 “Accessories” on page 62). If you do not use either a SICK switching amplifier or a SICK bus node, to improve the...
You can design the two-channel button as equivalent (N/C / N/C) or complementary (N/O/ N/O). You must configure the C 4000 as appropriate with the aid of the CDS. If the configu- ration and the electrical connection do not match, the system locks completely (lock-out).
To be able to use the sender test button, you must also configure the sender test function with the aid of the CDS: Device symbol C 4000 Entry/Exit (sender), context menu Configu- ration draft, Edit, option Enable sender test.
Commissioning requires a thorough check by qualified personnel! Before you operate a system protected by the safety light curtain C 4000 for the first time, make sure that the system is first checked and released by qualified personnel. Please WARNING read the notes in chapter “On safety”...
Notes protective field being interrupted, the system automatically deactivates the alignment mode. If you wish to readjust the alignment later, switch the power supply of the C 4000 off and back on again. Recommendation For aligning the sender and receiver use the laser alignment aid AR 60.
C 4000 Entry/Exit Configuration Default delivery status As delivered the C 4000 is configured ready for protective operation. You can change the configuration at any time with the aid of the CDS. Default delivery status: restart interlock: external external device monitoring (EDM): deactivated ...
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 No. 5 600 006) and the SICK lens cloth (Part No. 4 003 353).
Rectify the cause of the fault as per Tab. 16. Switch the power supply for the C 4000 off and on again (e.g. by unplugging the system plug and reinserting it). 10.2...
The external voltage supply must be capable of buffering brief mains failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60204-1. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (Siemens type series 6 EP 1). Within the limits of U As per IEC 61131-2.
