Installed 2 brand new M4000 light curtains. I have 24VDC across pins 7 and 2 and I do not have any lights on the sender or receiver. Looks as if I don't have power at all but I do. Ant suggestions

If the SICK M4000 Advanced light curtains are not powering on despite 24VDC across pins 7 and 2, the issue could be due to incorrect wiring, a faulty device, or missing connections required for operation (such as the test input or OSSD connections). Ensure all necessary system connections, including the test input on pin 3 and other required pins per the system connection diagram (chapter 6.1), are properly wired and functional.

M4000 Advanced The M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device is available with 2, 3 or 4 beams. Other configurations with up to 12 beams are possible on request. The maximum scanning range (dimension of the light path between sender and receiver) is 70 m.
Point not visible: The bottom edge of the numbers on the 7Esegment display is pointing towards the LED display. Device symbol M4000 Advanced (sender or receiver), M4000 Advanced (A/P) or M4000 Area (sender or receiver), context menu Open device window, parameter node General.
Chapter 4 Operating Instructions M4000 Adv., Adv. A/P, Area Muting When using the muting functions of the M4000 Advanced please observe the operating Note instructions of the corresponding UE403 or sens:Control device. Pay attention to the following safety notes! Muting is only allowed to be activated during the period when the material to be trans- ported (e.g.
WS27/WE27 WS280/WE280 Note For the selection and settings for the SICK optical muting sensors in muting applications, the following applies: Outputs must be PNP switching. Other series are possible. Pay attention to the output signals in chapter 6.2.
To signal muting, the use of a muting lamp or a muting status signal is stipulated. The muting lamp signals the temporary muting. You can use an external lamp (monitored/not monitored) or the integrated LED on the M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device (not monitored).
The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct protective function of the device. When making configuration changes, please always use the password hierar- chy provided by SICK to ensure that only authorised persons make changes to the configu- ration. The SICK service team is available to provide assistance if required.
5.4.1 Scanning range of the M4000 Advanced You can set the M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device to two different scan- ning ranges. The effective scanning range is dependent here upon the dimension of the light path between sender and receiver and the number of deflector mirrors and additional front screens used.

FE Green Functional earth Functional earth For the connection of pin 9 and 10 only use cable with twisted cores, e.g. the SICK con- Notes nection cables available as accessories (see section 14.7 “Accessories” on page 139). If the UE403 safety relay is used on the extension connection of the M4000, then only SICK sens:Control devices may be connected to pin 9 and pin 10 (EFI device communication) of the system connection.

Pin 3 0 V DC (voltage supply) Pin 5 Pin 2 The pin assignment of sender, receiver and M4000 Advanced A/P is identical. Note After configuration always remove the connecting cable from the configuration connec- tion! After the configuration of the device has been completed, locate the attached protec- tion cap to cover the configuration connection.
If you use the application diagnostic output as an alarm signal for “Reset required”, it has a frequency of 1 Hz. Only M4000 Advanced and M4000 Advanced A/P in conjunction with a UE403 or sens:Control device: If you connect the application diagnostic output as an alarm signal for muting or over- ride status, then the application diagnostic output will always signal the alarm with an active HIGH.
The sender test is performed when 0 V is present at the test input (pin 3) of the sender. To be able to use the sender test button, you must also configure the Sender test function with the aid of the CDS: device symbol M4000 Advanced (sender), context menu Open device window, parameter node General.
Switch the power supply to the multiple light beam safety device on. Watch the alignment information on the 7Esegment display of the receiver. Correct the alignment of the sender and receiver (or of the M4000 Advanced A/P and the M4000 Passive), until the 7Esegment display goes off.
The alignment tolerance will become smaller with each further deflection (see Fig. 62). Always use an alignment aid when aligning the M4000 Advanced with deflector mirrors Recommendation (see section “Alignment aids” on page 90).
Laser Notice No. 50, June 24, 2007 The M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device is available with an integrated laser alignment aid as an extra. The laser alignment aid in conjunction with the indications on the 7Esegment display enables you to precisely adjust and align the multiple light beam safety device.

Operating Instructions M4000 Adv., Adv. A/P, Area In the delivery with the receiver for the M4000 Advanced with integrated laser align- ment aid you will find two self-adhesive alignment templates (one template for the deflector mirror and one for the sender). Keep both alignment templates at hand. You will find further information on the alignment templates as well as a master for copying in the annex 15.3.

Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. You can prevent Note this effect by using the antistatic plastic cleaner (SICK Part No. 5600006) and the SICK lens cloth (SICK Part No. 4003353). How to clean the front screen: Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the front screen.

The system then only has a reserve of 30 %. The scanning range of the M4000 Advanced A/P device must be configured to suit the deflection used (see section 5.4.3 “Scanning range of the M4000 Advanced A/P” on page 44).

±0.5 73.5 (61) Part No. 5306053 If you use a two-beam M4000 Advanced A/P, then you can use two PSK45 deflector Notes mirrors instead of the M4000 Passive. The deflector mirror PSK45 is not suitable for column mounting. When using deflector mirrors, the effective scanning range is reduced (see Tab. 16 on page 44).
