With the C4000 Guest, SICK adds a particularly compact system to its family of Category 4 safety light curtains for protecting hazardous points-of-operation. Differing resolutions and protective field heights permit application-oriented confi guration. With space-saving installation, the C4000 Guest offers a minimised passive area – reliably preventing stepping around the device from behind. Moreover, even the C4000 Standard Guest system offers numerous features, e.g. a 7-segment indicator and a confi guration/diagnosis interface that considerably simplifi es commissioning and ensures a high level of availability during operation. With the C4000 Advanced Guest version, it is also possible to reduce the resolution or blank out particular protective fi eld areas dynamically. Whether connected to a C4000 Host or a suitable safety controller in SICK’s UE series – all variants of the ultra-compact C4000 Guest are fully functional safety light curtains. The C4000 Guest is used for safeguarding hazardous protective fi eld widths of 150 mm to 1,800 mm (in 150 mm increments) in compliance with EN 61496, Type 4 and IEC 61508 SIL3. Users can select resolutions of 14 mm or 30 mm in any version. The narrow end-cap with integrated cable tail, or with the optional angled plug connector available for the 150 mm version, reduces the lateral passive area – reliably ruling out the possibility of stepping around the C4000 Guest from behind, e.g. to reach a press brake. - www.sick.com
