Procurement Notes

Verify the specific order number against the current SICK product catalog to ensure compatibility with existing control systems. Confirm that the resolution and field height meet the required safety distance calculations according to ISO 13855. Check for any necessary mounting accessories or cable assemblies sold separately. Ensure the installation environment matches the IP rating specifications provided in the technical documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required resolution of 40 mm for finger protection and the specific field height needed for the application. Consider the operating mode requirements such as Selective Function if partial beam interruption must be tolerated. Evaluate the mounting constraints and available space for the emitter and receiver units. Verify compatibility with the safety controller interface used in the facility.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK safety light curtain family, which offers modular solutions for machine safety. These devices are engineered to comply with international safety standards including IEC 61496 and EN ISO 13849-1. The series provides scalable options for various hazard levels and operational needs across different industries.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated part numbers within the same SICK series that may offer enhanced features or improved availability. Ensure any substitute maintains the same resolution, field height, and safety performance category. Verify interface compatibility with existing safety PLCs or controllers before replacement.
