7122432

Overview

The SICK model 7122432 is a safety light curtain system component, specifically the receiver unit for the C4000 series. This device operates within a resolution range of 30 mm to 50 mm and provides protection heights ranging from 300 mm to 1800 mm. It features a standard response time of 16 ms and supports various connection interfaces including PNP/NPN outputs. The unit is designed for industrial environments with an IP67 rating, ensuring dust tightness and protection against temporary water immersion. It utilizes visible red LEDs for beam indication and includes diagnostic capabilities for monitoring signal integrity.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable object detection through multiple infrared beams
• Integrated diagnostics for continuous self-monitoring of operational status
• Robust housing design suitable for harsh industrial conditions
• Supports flexible mounting configurations via standardized brackets

Applications

• Machine guarding for press brakes and stamping machines
• Protection zones around automated assembly stations

• Access monitoring for hazardous equipment areas

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order number matches the required resolution and protection height for your application. Confirm compatibility with existing transmitter units and control systems. Ensure that all necessary mounting accessories and cables are included or ordered separately. Check for any regional certification requirements such as CE or UL marks relevant to your installation location.

Selection Notes

Select this receiver based on the required field width and resolution dictated by safety standards. Consider the environmental factors such as exposure to oil, coolant, or extreme temperatures when choosing the housing variant. Evaluate the need for additional diagnostic features like Muting or Blank functions if present in the overall system design. Ensure the power supply voltage aligns with the controller specifications.

Part Context

This receiver is part of the C4000 safety light curtain family, designed for medium-duty applications. It pairs with corresponding transmitters to create a protective field. The system is engineered to meet Category 4 / PL e safety levels according to EN ISO 13849-1. It integrates with SICK's safety controllers for comprehensive machine protection solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the original resolution, protection height, and interface type. Verify that substitute models support the same safety integrity level and diagnostic coverage. Check mechanical dimensions for fit within existing mounting structures. Ensure electrical compatibility with the current control logic and power supply.
