The SICK C40S-1501CA010 is a C4000 Advanced light curtain transmitter designed for machine guarding applications in standard industrial environments. It features a 14 mm resolution, a 1,500 mm protective field height and a scanning range of up to 10 m, making it well suited to safeguarding access points on production equipment, automated cells and handling systems where dependable presence detection is required.
Built with a robust extruded aluminium housing and rated to IP65, this unit is intended for demanding factory conditions. It operates on 24 V DC, uses optical synchronisation and includes a straight M26 12-pin system connection. The compact 48 mm x 40 mm housing profile helps simplify installation where space is limited, while the C4000 Advanced platform also allows for functions such as fixed blanking, floating blanking, beam coding, EDM and EFI communication when used within the appropriate system configuration.

What type of device is this?
This is a C4000 Advanced light curtain transmitter designed for use in industrial machine access and point-of-operation guarding applications. The C40S-1501CA010 is the transmitter section, so it is intended to be used as part of a matching light curtain set rather than as a standalone unit.
What protective field height does it provide?
This model offers a protective field height of 1,500 mm, making it suitable for applications where a taller vertical detection area is required.
What resolution does the unit offer?
It has a 14 mm resolution, which is commonly selected for finger detection applications where a fine detection capability is needed.
What is the operating range?
The datasheet states an operating range of up to 10 m. It also includes a configurable range function listed as 0 m to 2.5 m, depending on how the unit is set up within the overall application.
What supply voltage is required?
This unit operates on 24 V DC, with an allowable voltage range of 19.2 V to 28.8 V. The residual ripple should be kept at 10% or less.
What connection type does it use?
The system connection is a straight 12-pin Hirschmann M26 male connector. The permitted cable length is up to 50 m, subject to the installation conditions and conductor sizing.
Does the unit include restart interlock and external device monitoring?
Yes. Restart interlock is included, and external device monitoring (EDM) is also available. EDM is listed as deactivated in the delivered state.
Are blanking functions available?
Yes. Fixed blanking and floating blanking are both available on this model. Both functions are listed as deactivated in the standard delivered condition.
Does it support beam coding?
Yes, beam coding is supported. The standard delivered state is listed as uncoded.
Can it communicate with other compatible modules?
Yes. The unit supports EFI communication. When used with the UE402 expansion module, additional functions such as bypass, operating mode switching and PSDI mode can be enabled.
What environmental rating does it have?
It is rated IP65 and is designed for use in a standard industrial environment. The ambient operating temperature range is 0 °C to +55 °C, with storage from -25 °C to +70 °C and non-condensing humidity from 15% to 95%.
What is the housing made from?
The housing is an extruded aluminium profile with a cross-section of 48 mm x 40 mm. This gives the unit a robust industrial form factor suited to fixed installation.
How heavy is the unit?
The listed weight is 3,110 g.
Does it have a local display for status indication?
Yes. This model includes a 7-segment display for local indication, which helps with on-unit status visibility during installation and operation.
What accessories are commonly paired with this unit?
Common related items include M26 connection cables, crimp-contact connectors, mounting brackets, alignment aids such as the AR60, and the UE402 expansion module for added functionality.
- Used as part of a C4000 Advanced light curtain system to monitor access points on automated machinery
- Commonly installed on packaging and wrapping lines where operator access needs to be monitored without physical guards obstructing workflow
- Suitable for assembly stations and production cells that require a defined protective field across the working area
- Often applied on robotic work cells to supervise entry into the machine operating zone
- Used on palletising and depalletising equipment where open access and reliable area monitoring are needed
- Common in conveyor transfer points and material handling systems where movement through guarded openings must be detected
- Applied on pressing, forming and cutting machines as part of an electro-sensitive protective arrangement
- Used on automated manufacturing lines where frequent operator intervention makes hard guarding less practical
- Suitable for machine loading and unloading areas that benefit from unobstructed access and optical field monitoring
- Often selected for industrial installations requiring advanced light curtain functions such as muting-related expansion via compatible modules
- Used in bottling, food processing and general factory automation environments with standard industrial operating conditions
- Commonly integrated into OEM machine builds and retrofit projects where a 1,500 mm protective field height is required
