On safety
2 On safety
his chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
T
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the M4000 multiple light beam
safety device or with the machine protected by the M4000 multiple light beam safety
device.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The M4000 multiple light beam safety device must only be installed, commissioned and
serviced by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons
who
have undergone the appropriate technical training
and
who have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
who have access to these operating instructions.
WARNING
2.2 Applications of the device
The M4000 system is a type 4 electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) as defined by
IEC 61496E1 and IEC 61496E2 and is therefore allowed for use with controls in category 4
according to EN ISO 13849E1. The preconfiguration of the M4000 multiple light beam
safety device is suitable for:
hazardous area protection
access protection
The multiple light beam safety devices must be installed such that the hazardous area can
only be reached by interrupting the light path between sender and receiver. It must not be
possible to start the plant/system as long as personnel are within the hazardous area.
The M4000 system is intended only for use in industrial environments. When used in resi-
dential areas it can cause interference.
Refer to page 16 for an illustration of the protection modes and an example application.
Only use the multiple light beam safety device 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 protective devices may be required in addition
to the M4000 system.

– other relevant safety regulations.
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the multiple light beam safety
device is used are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regula-
tions and rules.
The notices, in particular the test regulations (see “Test notes” on page 100) 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 check the effectiveness of the
protective device.
The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct protective function
of the device. When making configuration changes, please always use the password
hierarchy provided by SICK to ensure that only authorised persons make changes to the
configuration. The SICK service team is available to provide assistance if required.
The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorised personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests
can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where the M4000 multiple light beam safety device is fitted. 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 devices must be capable of buffering brief mains
voltage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60204E1. Suitable power supplies are
available as accessories from SICK (Siemens type series 6 EP 1).

3.2 Operating principle of the device
3.2.1 The principle of the multiple light beam safety device
The M4000 multiple light beam safety device secures the access to a hazardous area and
signals the entry of objects as soon as a light beam is interrupted. The machine or plant
controller that evaluates this message must then bring the dangerous movement to a halt.
You can secure two sides of a hazardous area by using a deflector mirror, with two deflec-
or mirrors you can secure three sides (see chapter 3.3.2 “Access protection on several
t
sides with the aid of deflector mirrors” on page 17ff).

The M4000 multiple light beam safety device consists of a sender unit and a receiver unit.
A distinction should be made between active/active systems and active/passive systems:
On the active/active system, sender unit and receiver unit are in separate housings, the
sender and the receiver. The light beam is emitted from the sender and is incident to
the receiver.
On the active/passive system, sender unit and receiver unit are in a common housing
(M4000 Advanced A/P). The light beam is emitted from the sender unit and is deflected
by the deflector unit M4000 Passive (mirror deflection or fibre-optic deflection) by 180°
back to the receiver unit (see Fig. 2). As a passive element, the deflector unit does not
require any electrical connections.
For the exact number and distance of beams, please see chapter 13.3 “Dimensional
drawings” on page 120ff.
The dimension of the light path between sender and receiver (or between the M4000
Advanced A/P and M4000 Passive) must not exceed the maximum permissible scanning
range (see “Technical specifications” on page 113ff.).
On active/active systems, sender unit and receiver unit synchronise automatically by
optical means. An electrical connection between both components is not required.
The M4000 is modular in structure. All optical and electronic components and assemblies
are housed in a slim and torsionally rigid housing.

M4000 Advanced
The M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device is available with 2, 3 or 4 beams.
Other configurations with up to 12 beams are possible on request. The maximum scanning
range (dimension of the light path between sender and receiver) is 70 m.
M4000 Advanced A/P
The M4000 Advanced A/P is available with 2 or 4 beams. The maximum scanning range
(dimension of the light path between the M4000 Advanced A/P and the M4000 Passive) is
dependent of the number of beams as well as the utilized M4000 Passive and is 7.5 m
max.
M4000 Area 60/80
The M4000 Area 60/80 multiple light beam safety device is available with a monitored
area length from 300/600 mm to 1800 mm. The beam separation is 50 or 57 mm (resolution of 60 or 80 mm). The maximum scanning range is 19 m (M4000 Area 60) or 70 m
(M4000 Area 80).

Product description
The M4000 multiple light beam safety device operates correctly as a protective device only
if the following conditions are met:
The control of the machine must be electrical.
It must be possible to achieve a safe state on the machine at any time.
Sender and receiver must be mounted in a way that objects penetrating the hazardous
area are safely identified by the M4000.
The reset button must be fitted outside the hazardous area such that it cannot be ope-
rated 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
using the device.
3.3.2 Access protection on several sides with the aid of deflector mirrors
You can secure two sides of a hazardous area by using one deflector mirror (see Fig. 7),
with two deflector mirrors you can secure three sides (see Fig. 8).

Notes
The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection
behaviour. Take the necessary organisational measures to avoid the formation of drop-
lets on the deflector mirrors. The deflector mirrors are available as accessories (see
page 128f.).
Deflector mirrors reduce the effective scanning range. The effective scanning range
depends on the number of deflector mirrors in the light path (see chapter 5.4 “Scanning
range” on page 42ff).
You can extend the M4000 Advanced A/P multiple light beam safety device with a maxi-
mum of one deflector mirror.

instructions of the corresponding UE403 or sens:Control device.
Pay attention to the following safety notes!
Muting is only allowed to be activated during the period when the material to be trans-
ported (e.g. on a pallet) blocks the access to the hazardous area.
Muting must be performed automatically, but must not depend on a single electrical
signal.
Muting must be triggered by at least two independently wired signals (e.g. from muting
sensors) and must not depend entirely on software signals (for instance from a PLC).
Muting must be removed immediately as soon as the material to be transported no
longer blocks the access to the dangerous movement so that the protective device is
once more effective.
The material to be transported must be detected over its entire length, i.e. there must
be no interruption in the output signals.
Mount the control switch for reset or override outside the hazardous area such that it
cannot be operated by a person in the hazardous area. When operating the control
switch, the operator must have full visual command of the hazardous area.
Always mount the sensors so that the minimum distance to the protective device is
maintained.
Prevent the unintentional triggering of muting by a person by mounting the sensors
appropriately (see Fig. 13)!

4.1 Muting principle
uting temporarily mutes the protection provided by a safety device. In this way it is possi-
M
ble to move material to or from a machine without the need to interrupt the work process.
During muting a differentiation is made between people and material with the aid of addi-
tional sensor signals. In the event of a valid muting condition the protective device is overridden on the basis of a logical evaluation of these external sensor signals so that the ma-
terial to be transported can pass through the protective device. As soon as anything other
than material enters the hazardous area, the work process is interrupted.
Fig. 14: Schematic
illustration of muting
In the example, the material moves from left to right on a conveyor belt . As soon as the
muting sensors A1 and A2 are activated , the protection provided by the ESPE protective
device is muted and the material can move into the hazardous area. As soon as the
muting sensors are clear again , the protection provided by the protective device is reactivated.
4.1.1 Muting cycle
The muting cycle is the defined sequence of all processes that take place during muting.
The cycle starts when the first muting sensor is activated. The cycle ends when the last
muting sensor returns to its initial state (e.g. clear light path for optical sensors). Only then
is it possible to activate muting again.
Material can be transported several times during a muting cycle, if the muting condition is
maintained continuously, i.e. at least one pair of sensors remains activated continuously.
Exception: With the Exit monitoring function activated (see sections 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 from
page 30), multiple material transport within a muting cycle is not possible.

Recommendation
A selection of optical muting sensors is given in the following. Depending on the type (lightswitching or dark-switching), you can use these as testable or non-testable sensors.
Note
You can use testable muting sensors in conjunction with the UE403 safety relay or a
sens:Control device. For this purpose, the sensor test function of the M4000 multiple light
beam safety device must be configured (see section 6.2 “Sensor test” on page 50ff.).
