the C4000 light curtain is used in conjunction with the LCUR1­411. The machine
operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by specialist personnel and must be
instructed to read the operating instructions.

It is only allowed to use the functions realised with the ESPE to be replaced. Any addition
of functions is not allowed.
