What type of device is this component?

It is a receiver unit from the SICK C2000 Standard range of Type 2 safety light curtains, designed to detect interruptions within a machine-guarding protective field.

What is the protective field height?

The receiver has a protective field height of 600 mm.

What resolution does the light curtain provide?

The specified resolution is 30 mm, making it suitable for detecting objects that interrupt the protected area.

What is the response time?

The response time is no more than 34 ms under the specified operating conditions.

What are the applicable performance classifications?

The unit is classified as Type 2 under IEC 61496-1, Category 2 and PL c under EN ISO 13849, and SIL 1 under IEC 61508.

What type of electrical outputs does the receiver use?

It provides two PNP semiconductor OSSD outputs. The outputs are short-circuit protected and monitored for cross-circuit faults, with a maximum current capacity of 500 mA per OSSD.

Which electrical connection is required?

The receiver uses an 8-pin male M12 system connector. The permitted connecting cable length is up to 15 m, subject to a maximum conductor resistance of 4 ohms.

What environmental protection does the housing provide?

The housing is rated IP65 in accordance with EN 60529, providing protection against dust and water jets when correctly installed.

What operating temperatures are permitted?

SICK 1016478 is specified for operation from 0°C to +55°C and storage from -25°C to +70°C. Permitted relative humidity is 15% to 95%, non-condensing.

What are the housing dimensions?

The housing has a compact cross-section of 34 mm by 29 mm. The full mounting dimensions should be checked against the existing installation before replacement.

Does the unit support external device monitoring?

Yes. External device monitoring, also known as EDM, is included and is activated in the factory configuration.

How is the transmitter and receiver synchronised?

The C2000 Standard system uses optical synchronisation, so a separate synchronisation connection between the transmitter and receiver is not required.

Can this receiver be used on a newly designed machine?

For new machinery placed into service from 10 May 2015, this Type 2 device is limited to applications requiring no more than PL c or SIL 1 under the stated standards. The machine's risk assessment and applicable UK regulations must be reviewed before installation.

Can it replace an older PL d or SIL 2 unit?

Within the relevant European regulatory framework, this Type 2 model may be used as a replacement for an identical PL d or SIL 2 device only where the original machine was placed on the market before 10 May 2015. The replacement note should remain with the machine documentation.

Which accessories may be used with this receiver?

Specified accessories include the AR60 laser alignment aid, the DOS-1208-G straight 8-pin M12 female connector and the BEF-1SHABAZN4 side-mounting bracket set. Accessory suitability should be confirmed against the existing installation.
