Please read this chapter carefully before working with the C4000 Select or with the
machine protected by the C4000 Select.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The C4000 Select 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 power-
driven 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 and understood
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 organization operating the
ESPE.
2.2 Applications of the device
The C4000 Select safety light curtain is an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)
rated to:
type 4 in accordance with IEC 61496@1 and @2
SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508 and IEC 62061
category 4 in accordance with EN 954@1:1997
performance level “e” in accordance with EN ISO 13849@1:2006
The physical resolution of the C4000 Select is 30 mm with a maximum protective field
width of up to 21 m and available protective field heights from 300 up to 1800 mm. Configurable parameters are set using DIP switches.
Access to the hazardous point must be allowed only through the protective field. The
lant/system is not allowed to start as long as personnel are within the hazardous area.
p
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!
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
WARNING
The C4000 Select safety light curtain operates as a standalone system, comprising a sender and receiver, or in combination with other extended C4000 Select systems, SICK S300
or S3000 safety laser scanners. This means that the protective field can be adapted to
suit individual safety requirements.
2.3 Correct use
The C4000 Select safety light curtain must be used only as defined in section 2.2 “Applica-
tions of the device”. It must be used only by qualified safety personnel and only on the
machine where it has been installed and initialized 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 and its subsidiary companies shall
become void.
2.4 General safety notes and protective measures
Safety notes
Please observe the following procedures in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
safety light curtain C4000 Select.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, use and
periodic technical inspections of the safety light curtain, in particular:
– Machinery Directive 98/37/EEC
– Equipment Usage Directive 89/655/EEC
– the work safety regulations/safety rules
– other relevant health and safety regulations
Manufacturers and operators of the machine with which the safety light curtain is used
are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
The notices, in particular the test regulations (see “Test notes” on page 48) of these
operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the existing
machine controller) must be observed.
Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function. After
every change to the configuration you must therefore reverify and validate the effective-
ness of the protective device (e.g. C4000 Select).
The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct protective function
The tests must be carried out by authorized qualified safety personnel and must be re-
orded and documented to ensure that the tests can be reconstructed and retraced at
c
any time.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where the C4000 Select safety light curtain is installed. 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.
The external voltage supply of the device must be capable of buffering brief mains vol-
tage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60204@1. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (i.e. model PS50W@24V, SICK part number 7028789 or
PS95W@24V, SICK part number 7028790).
2.5 Protection of the environment
The C4000 Select safety light curtain has been designed to minimize 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.

Operating InstructionsChapter 3
C4000 Select
Product description
3.2.2 The light curtain principle
The C4000 Select safety light curtain consists of a sender and a receiver (Fig. 1). Between
these two units is the protective field, defined by a protective field height and a 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. 40ff. in chapter 11.4
“Dimensional drawings” on page 64.
The width of the protective field is derived from the dimension of the light path between
sender and receiver and must satisfy the specification requirements for the protective field
(see “Technical specifications” on page 55).
Sender and receiver automatically synchronize themselves optically. An electrical connection between both components is not required.
The C4000 Select is modular in construction. All optical and electronic components and
assemblies are housed in a slim and torsionally rigid housing.
3.2.3 Device variants
The C4000 Select sender and receiver devices support several end cap configurations.
You must decide which end cap is best suited for your application at time of order placement. The bottom end cap supports the system connection and optional extended I/O
functionality. Three top end cap options are available: cover only, with an optional
integrated LED or with an optional extended I/O connection.
There are several variants of the C4000 Select:
without any extension connection (no extended I/O capability)
without any extension connection (no extended I/O capability) with integrated LED on
the top end cap of the receiver unit
with extension connection (supports cascading) located on the bottom end cap with the
system connection
with extension connection (supports cascading) located on the top end cap with a sepa-
rate bottom end cap having the system connection
with extension connection (supports cascading) located on the bottom end cap with the
system connection with integrated LED on the top end cap of the receiver unit
3.2.4 Standalone and cascaded systems
The C4000 Select allows you to coordinate multiple protective devices (e.g. additional
C4000 Select devices or SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanner) in a single safety
system.
A maximum of three C4000 Select devices can be connected in series as a “cascade”. The
following configurations are possible:
standalone operation of a single C4000 Select system
cascade of a host C4000 Select with a guest C4000 Select
cascade of a host C4000 Select with two guest C4000 Select devices
cascade of a host C4000 Select with a SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanner
Cascaded devices are connected using the extended I/O connection. The extended I/O
connection may be located either beside the system connection (extended I/O connection
on the bottom end cap) or separate from the system connection (extended I/O connection
on the top end cap).
no additional external circuitry required making connection of additional protective
evices easy to implement
d
the protective field height may differ among the individual C4000 Select devices
a combination of hazardous point (i.e. C4000 Select) and area protection devices (e.g.
ICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanners) can be realized in a single safety system.
S
The following sections describe the different configurations supported by the C4000
Select. For ease of understanding, only the receiver units have been shown in subsequent
figures.
Ensure that you set the Extended I/O DIP switch correctly for your application!
When cascading additional protective devices to the C4000 Select, you must ensure that
the Extended I/O DIP switch has been set to Enabled. Failure to enable the Extended I/O
function in cascaded applications will expose personnel to risk of the associated hazard!
Please refer to chapter 4 “Configuration” on page 21 for additional details regarding
extended I/O DIP switch settings and functionality.
Standalone operation
Standalone operation can be realized with all C4000 Select variants. Regardless of variant, DIP switch configuration can be set for standalone operation (refer to chapter 4 “Con-
figuration” on page 21 for additional information).
vers used in standalone
operation (shown without
extended I/O capability)
Cascade of multiple C4000 Select systems
The C4000 Select supports the cascade of up to three 1800 mm protective height C4000
Select sender and receiver pairs. This may be realized only when the extended I/O connection is available. When three light curtains are cascaded together, a physical barrier may
be necessary to prevent optical interference between the two light curtains configured with
the same beam code if they are positioned too closely together. Refer to section 4.2
“Beam coding” on page 23 for additional information regarding this requirement.
There are two methods of implementing C4000 Select cascades. The first method utilizes
n extended I/O connection located on the top end cap for the first C4000 Select (host)
a
and the second C4000 Select (guest 1). The third C4000 Select (guest 2) utilizes a system
connection only.

connection)
Note
Alternatively, the second method of implementing cascaded C4000 Select devices uses an
extended I/O connection that is located on the same end cap as the system connection.
Sender units cannot be physically connected to receiver units when cascading C4000
Select devices. Always physically connect sender units together when cascading. Always
physcially connect receiver units together when cascading C4000 Select devices.
Cascade of C4000 Select and SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanner
The C4000 Select supports the cascade of a single SICK S300 or S3000 safety laser scan-
er. Connection of the S300 or S3000 occurs on the extended I/O connection to provide
n
both power and connection of safety relevant signals (i.e. safety outputs from the safety
scanner). The extended I/O connection may be located on either the top end cap or with
the system connection on the bottom end cap of the C4000 Select.

The C4000 Select safety light curtain operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
The control of the machine must be electrical.
The dangerous state of the machine must be transferable at any time into a safe state.
Sender and receiver unit must be mounted so that objects penetrating the hazardous
area are safely identified by the C4000 Select.
An external reset/restart function (e.g. button) must be fitted outside the hazardous
area such that it cannot be operated by a person working inside the hazardous area.
When operating the reset button, the operator must have full visual command of the
hazardous area.
The statutory and local rules and regulations must be observed when installing and
3.4.2 Message center of the C4000 Select receiver unit

ALIGNMENT
LEDs
YellowIndicates that one or more beams are aligned between sen-
der and receiver units. The first LED will be Yellow when
one of the synchronization beams has been aligned. When
all five (5) LEDs are Yellow, this indicates all beams are
aligned between sender and receiver units, but there is a
weak signal.
GreenWhen all five (5) LEDs are Green, this indicates that all
beams are aligned between sender and receiver units.
The C4000 Select supports several advanced functions which are configured using DIP
switches. Included in these advanced functions are beam coding, extended I/O capability
and floating blanking. The DIP switches used for configuration are located under the
lastic cover in the system connection end cap.

4.1 Extended I/O
Enabling the C4000 Select extended I/O functionality allows the connection (i.e. cascade)
of additional C4000 Select or SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanners with the C4000
Select. Refer to section 3.2.4 “Standalone and cascaded systems” on page 13 for
additional details regarding C4000 Select cascading options.
When additional devices are cascaded with the C4000 Select, the safety outputs (OSSDs)
of the host C4000 Select represent the logical value of all devices in the cascade.
When the extended I/O safety inputs are not at their expected state (e.g. both inputs
should be Active (High) or Inactive (Low)), they are considered “discrepant”. The inputs
ust reach an equivalent value before the internal discrepancy timer expires. Failure to
m
reach an equivalent value before the discrepancy time expires will cause a lock-out
condition to occur.
Electrical-mechanical devices (e.g. emergency stop buttons or safety interlock switches)
must not be connected to the extended I/O.
You must ensure that the Extended I/O DIP switch setting satisfies your safety
application requirements!
When cascading one or more devices with the C4000 Select, you must ensure that the extended I/O DIP switch setting(s) for extended I/O is enabled as required for your applica-
tion. You must also validate that the C4000 Select and all cascaded protective devices
perform in accordance with your risk assessment, risk reduction strategy as well as appli-
cable local, regional and national regulatory requirements.
You must ensure that protective device inputs attached to the inputs of the extended
I/O connection can be read safely!
The inputs (IN1, IN2) of an extended I/O connnection enable the 24 V DC PNP-semicon-
ductor safety outputs from a self-monitoring sensor (e.g. another C4000 Select or an
S300/S3000 safety laser scanner) to be read safely. The sensor connected to the inputs
of the extended I/O connection (e.g. guest C4000 Select or S3000 safety laser scanner)
must …
be self-monitoring and detect any error conditions that may occur with its output signal
switching devices (OSSDs) using test signals. The host C4000 Select filters these test
signals out.
execute a safe shutdown of the switching outputs when any error is detected.
Integrated safety mechanisms ensure detection of possible errors on safety capable inputs
for:
Internal errors on safety capable inputs which prevent the inputs from returning to the
safe state. An internal error on a safety capable input is a failure of the C4000 Select
electrical input circuitry.
Discrepancy of the dual-channel input evaluation
Additional measures must be made to address any external errors that cannot be monitored internally by the C4000 Select. In addition, you must exclude any external errors that
could occur due to selected user configuration parameters.
4.2 Beam coding
If several safety light curtains operate in close proximity to each other, the sender beams
of one system may optically interfere or even align itself with the receiver of another sys-
tem. 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!
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 neighboring 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 en-
hances the resistance to optical interference such as weld sparks.
Using different beam coding settings will allow one C4000 series sender/receiver pair
to be mounted in close proximity to another C4000 series sender/receiver pair without
optical interference.
Beam coding will increase the response time of the system. This will also change the
required safety distance. Instructions can be found in chapter 5.1 “Determining the
minimum safety distance” on page 29.
In order for the C4000 Select system to operate, both the sender and corresponding
receiver of each C4000 Select system must have the same beam code configuration.
After activating the system, the C4000 Select receiver will briefly display the coding.

To prevent the possibility of optical interference from C4000 Select devices that have
been configured with the same beam codes (e.g. no coding, beam code 1 or beam code
2), a minimum distance between the two systems must be implemented. The following
figure provides information regarding the minimum distance “a” that must separate the
two C4000 Select systems based on the distance D between the sender of system 1 and
the receiver of system 2.

Notes
Scanning range defines the strength of the C4000 Select protective field beams in order to
allow for longer distances between the C4000 Select sender and receiver devices.
Match the scanning range with the protective field width!
The scanning range of the system (host, guest 1 and guest 2) must be adapted to the protective field width. If the scanning range is set to high range and the light curtains are
mounted below the minimum scanning range value, the safety light curtain may not reliably detect objects within the protective field. This would mean that the operator is at risk.
Two scanning ranges are selectable:

No symbolLow range (0…7.5 m) selected
High range (5…21 m) selected
If the scanning range is set too low, the safety light curtain may not switch to green.
Tab. 11 shows the guaranteed scanning ranges for the system.
Deflector mirrors are available as accessories (see page 74f.). When used, deflector
mirrors will reduce the effective scanning range based on the number used (see
Tab. 13). When using deflector mirrors, you must configure the safety light curtain for
high scanning range.
Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the
deflector mirrors is to be expected!
The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection
behavior. 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.

Refer to chapter 4 “Configuration” on page 21 for additional details on DIP switch setting
loating blanking functionality permits the C4000 Select safety outputs (OSSDs) to remain
F
in an active (high) state (e.g. green state) when an object of limited, fixed size is moving in
the protective field of the C4000 Select. The C4000 Select supports one- or two-beam
loating blanking. It is not required that an object be present for the outputs to be active
f
(high) and only one floating blanking field may exist in a single C4000 Select.
When one-beam floating blanking has been enabled, one beam may be blocked in the pro-
tective field of the C4000 Select without causing a stop condition to occur. When twobeam floating blanking is enabled, two contiguous beams may be blocked in the protective
field of the C4000 Select without causing a stop condition to occur. When an object that is
larger than the floating blanking configuration of the C4000 Select, or when more than
one object has been detected in the protective field of the C4000 Select, an immediate
stop condition will occur.
The first beam, normally used for synchronization, may be blanked. An algorithm is integrated into the floating blanking function to allow sparks or other small objects to transit
through the protective field without causing a stop condition to occur.
Configuration of floating blanking is accomplished by using three of the DIP switch positi-
ons. A single switch enables or disables floating blanking, while the other two switches
enable either one- or two-beam floating blanking. All three DIP switches must be in the off
position in order for floating blanking to be turned off. Refer to chapter 4 “Configuration”
on page 21 for additional details on DIP switch setting requirements for floating blanking.
When the C4000 Select is used with one or two additional C4000 Select devices via
connection to the extended I/O connection, floating blanking may be independently
configured on any or all of the devices.
A Yellow LED in each C4000 Select receiver message center indicates when floating
blanking is active.
WARNING
nical protection of floating
blanking
Blanked areas require a separate risk analysis!
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 safety distance and mount the safety light curtain appropriately.
Blanked area, sides

After modifying the blanking, check the protective field with the test rod. Instructions
can be found in chapter 7.3.3 on page 49.
Floating blanking is not suitable for all applications. Please consult the relevant safety
standards and regulations that apply to your application.
When floating blanking has been implemented with a C4000 Select device, a hole is pro-
uced in the protective field. With the aid of Tab. 14 you can determine the effective

This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the installation of the C4000
Select. The mounting requires two steps:
determining the necessary safety distance
mounting with swivel mount or side bracket, rigid or pivoting mounting bracket
The following steps are necessary after mounting and installation:
completing the electrical connections (chapter 6 “Electrical installation” on page 43)
aligning sender and receiver (chapter 7.2 “Aligning sender and receiver” on page 47)
testing the installation (chapter 7.3.1 “Tests before the first commissioning” on
page 48)
5.1 Determining the minimum safety distance
The C4000 Select must be mounted with an adequate safety distance:
to the hazard or hazardous area
from reflective surfaces
WARNING
Note
WARNING
No protective function without sufficient safety distance!
You must mount the C4000 Select with the correct safety distance to the hazardous
area. Otherwise the safe protection of the C4000 Select system is not provided.
Risk of failure to detect!
Persons who are in the hazardous area but not in the light path between sender and
receiver are not detected by the C4000 Select system. It is therefore to be ensured that
the hazardous area is fully visible and any dangerous state can only be initiated if there
are no personnel in the hazardous area.
The applicable legal and official regulations apply to the use and mounting of the C4000
Select safety light curtain and any associated protective devices. These regulations vary
depending on the application.
5.1.1 Minimum safety distance to the hazardous area
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the safety light curtain and the
hazardous area. This ensures that the hazardous area can only be reached when the
dangerous state of the machine is completely at an end.
You must ensure that the minimum safety distance requirements are implemented
correctly!
The minimum safety distance is calculated to ensure that personnel cannot reach a hazar-
dous condition before the hazard ceases to exist. You must ensure that the implementation of the safety system(s) (e.g. the protective device, safety interface and associated
actuator(s)) adheres to the requirements of applicable local, regional and national
standards and regulations. Consult applicable standards and regulations for additional
requirements that may pertain to your application.
You must also take preventive measures to ensure that personnel cannot reach over, un-
der, around or through the protective device undetected. Personnel must be detected by
the safety light curtain when approaching the hazard.
The minimum safety distance is defined by several parameters, including:
stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
the stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine documentation or must be
(
measured under worst case conditions.)
response time of the protective device (see chapter 11.2 “Response time” on page 58)
reach or approach speed
resolution of the safety light curtain
other parameters that are stipulated by applicable standards and regulations
5.1.2 Hazard approach
The minimum safety distance changes based on the implementation of the protective
device. Most applications use a perpendicular (e.g. vertical as shown below) mounting of a
safety light curtain. However, it may be necessary to install the safety light curtain in a
horizontal or angular orientation. The following figure provides examples of perpendicular
(vertical), horizontal and angular implementations of a safety light curtain.

The minimum safety distance requirement is based on the beam
that is located the closest to the hazard.
This table presents summary information only and additional requirements may apply for
your application. Consult the relevant standards and regulations for additional requirements related to the minimum safety distance calculation.
The following example shows the calculation of the minimum safety distance based on
ANSI B11.19, CAN/CSA Z434 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.217 for a perpendicular (e.g. verti-

Maintain the minimum distance from reflective surfaces!
The light beams from the sender may be deflected by reflective surfaces. This can result in
failure to identify personnel infringing on the protective device causing an operator to be at
risk. Ensure that your application adheres to the required minimum distance to reflective
surfaces.
All reflective surfaces and objects (e.g. material bins) must be a minimum distance a from
the light path between sender and receiver. The minimum distance a depends on the
distance D between sender and receiver.
reflective surfaces
Note
The field of view of the sender and receiver optics is identical.
The maximum value used for D is 6 m for low scanning range and 19 m for high scanning range.

Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive information
labels must be affixed:
– Use only information labels in the language which the users and operators of the
machine understand.
– Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the users and
operators during operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the
information labels must not be concealed from view.
– Operation with floating blanking: Affix the information label for floating blanking to
each receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the information label.
– Affix the information label “Important Notices” to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.
When mounting a C4000 Select with integrated laser alignment aid, ensure that the
laser warning labels on the device remain visible. If the laser warning labels are
covered, e.g. on installation of the C4000 Select in a device column (accessory), you
must apply a laser warning label in an appropriate location in close proximity to the
Sender and receiver can be mounted in four different ways:
mounting with swivel mount bracket
mounting with side bracket
mounting with rigid mounting bracket
mounting with pivoting mounting bracket
5.2.1 Mounting with swivel mount bracket
The swivel mount bracket is made of high-strength black plastic. The bracket is designed
such that sender and receiver can still be accurately aligned even after the bracket has
been mounted.
Attach the screws 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.
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. It provides adjustment so that the
vertical alignment of sender and receiver can be corrected by ±2.5° after mounting.
Notes
Attach the bolts of the side bracket with a torque of between 5 and 6 Nm. Higher
torques can damage the bracket; lower torques provide inadequate protection against
vibration.
The rigid mounting bracket is a black, powder-coated bracket without adjustment. It is only
suitable for mounting surfaces on which it is not necessary to compensate for large
mechanical tolerances. The alignment of the sender and receiver can be corrected after
mounting using only the slots.

the alignment of C4000 Select sender and receiver units. The laser used for aligning the
sender to receiver is located in the C4000 Select sender unit. Further adjustments should
e performed at the C4000 Select receiver unit until the system is properly aligned.
b
To activate the laser, locate the button near the DIP switches in the C4000 Select sender
unit. Press the button for more than 0.25 seconds. Once pressed and released, the laser
will be illuminated for four (4) minutes. If the button is pressed again, it will shut the laser
off.
The signal indicator on the C4000 Select receiver unit indicates the current state of alignment between it and the corresponding sender unit. There are five (5) LEDs that are rela-
ted to this function. When the first LED is yellow, the synchronization beam of the sender
and receiver has been detected. As the percentage of beams increases, the number of
yellow LEDs that are illuminated also increase. When all five LEDs are illuminated yellow,
the sender and receiver units are aligned, but there is a weak signal. When all five LEDs
are illuminated green, the sender and receiver units are aligned with adequate signal
detected.
Note
The laser alignment tool of the C4000 Select is rated to
laser safety class 1. Additional measures for screening the
laser radiation are not necessary.
This device meets the standard CDRH 21 CFR 1040.10 as well as EN 60825@1:2007.
There the following note is required: “Caution — use of controls or adjustments or perfor-
mance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure!”
The laser is used to align the optics between a single sender and receiver pair. However,
when a cascaded system is implemented, the laser from one C4000 Select sender could
cause a lockout condition in a receiver in another C4000 Select sender/receiver pair in
the cascade. If this lockout condition occurs, cycle power and perform the alignment pro-

with high scanning range.
7.2 Aligning sender and receiver
After the light curtain has been mounted and connected, the sender and receiver must be
aligned in relation to each other. The light beams emitted by the sender must hit the receiver with pin-point accuracy. For additional information regarding the laser alignment
capability of the C4000 Select, see section 5.3 “Laser alignment” on page 41.
How to align sender and receiver in relation to each other:
Secure the plant/system. No dangerous movement possible!
Make sure that the dangerous state of the machine is (and remains) switched off! During
the alignment process, the outputs of the safety light curtain are not allowed to have any
effect on the machine.
Loosen the clamping bolts which hold the light curtain in place.
Switch on the power supply to the light curtain.
Watch the five (5) alignment LEDs on the receiver unit. As the number of illuminated
LEDs increases, an increased percentage of beams are aligned between sender and
receiver unit. When all beams are aligned, all five (5) LEDs will be illuminated. If all five
(5) LEDs are yellow, then there is a weak signal between sender and receiver. If all five
(5) LEDs are green, then the alignment is correct with adequate signal strength.
Using the clamping bolts, fix the light curtain in place.
Switch the power supply off and then back on again and check the five (5) alignment
LEDs to ensure alignment is still adequate.

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 require-
ments 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 78).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine in which the C4000 Select is in-
stalled 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
authorized personnel, using the correct test rod.
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 correct function of the safety light curtain:
Select the correct test rod depending on device resolution. By means of the configura-
tion, the entire system or individual areas can have a physical resolution that is different to the effective resolution, e.g. in case of floating blanking. 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 30 mm
– operation with single beam floating blanking
– effective resolution 50 mm
Use a test rod for a resolution of 50 mm.
Do not operate the machine if the output LED turns green during the test!
If the output LED turns green 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, ensure that the output LED is green and the protective
field is clear of obstruction. Once the test rod is inserted, the output LED should remain
red during the entire time the test rod is present in the protective field. This test is
meaningless if it is completed when the output LED is already red before the test rod
has been inserted into the protective field.
protective device
Note
Move the test rod slowly through the protective field to be tested, as shown in in
Fig. 33.
Then move the test rod along the edges of the protective field, as shown in in Fig. 33.
This procedure allows you to test if the point-of-operation/reaching around protection is
functioning correctly (see 5.2 “Steps for mounting the device” on page 34).
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.
During all tests, the output LED should remain red.
As delivered the C4000 Select is configured ready for protective operation. The following

The C4000 Select safety light curtain is maintenance-free. The front screen of the C4000
Select safety light curtain and any additional front screen(s) (see “Additional front screen
(weld spark guard)” on page 74) should be cleaned at regular intervals and when dirty.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Note
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.
After cleaning, check the position of sender and receiver to make sure that the
protective device cannot be bypassed (reaching over, under or around).
Verify the effectiveness of the protective device as described in chapter 7.3 “Test
notes” on page 48.

In order to satisfy enclosure rating, the cover plate over the DIP switches must be secured correctly. Further,
system and extended I/O cables must be rated IP 65 or better and must also be attached to the C4000 Select
correctly. You must use protective caps that are suitable for IP 65 enclosure rating for any unused connectors.
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
How to determine the response time of the system:
Determine the response time of the individual components of the system.
– The response time of a C4000 Select standalone or host system is described in sec-
tion 11.2.1 “Calculating the host/standalone response time” on page 58.
– The response time for guest 1 using a C4000 Select system or S300/S3000 safety
laser scanner as guest 1 is described in section 11.2.2 “Calculating the guest 1
response time” on page 59.
– The response time for guest 2 using a C4000 Select system as guest 2 is described
in section 11.2.3 “Calculating the guest 2 response time” on page 60.
You must also consider other components of the response time when performing minimum safety distance calculations. Other components include, but are not limited to, safety
interfaces, safety communication networks, machine stopping time, etc. See section 5.1.1
“Minimum safety distance to the hazardous area” on page 29 for additional information.

When using deflector mirrors, the effective scanning range is reduced (see Tab. 13 on
page 26).
Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the
deflector mirrors is to be expected.
The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection
behavior. 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.
