Procurement Notes

Verify the specific order number against the application requirements to ensure compatibility with existing control systems. Confirm that the protective height and resolution meet the risk assessment criteria defined by relevant safety standards. Check for any required accessories such as mounting brackets or reflectors if using a retro-reflective model. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the local electrical infrastructure specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required protective height and resolution determined by the hazard analysis. Consider the environmental conditions such as ambient light interference and potential contamination levels. Evaluate the necessary operating mode based on the machine's cycle time and safety distance calculations. Ensure the interface type matches the PLC or safety controller being used in the automation setup.

Part Context

This part belongs to SICK's range of safety light curtains, which are critical components in industrial machine safety. These devices create an invisible protective field to detect intrusions and trigger machine stops. They are essential for complying with machinery directives and ensuring operator safety in high-risk manufacturing areas where physical guards may impede workflow.

Replacement Considerations

When replacing older models, verify that the new unit's mounting dimensions and connector types are compatible with existing installations. Ensure that the safety performance level (PL) and category match the original design requirements. Cross-reference with official substitution lists to confirm functional equivalence without compromising safety integrity.
