Safety information
This chapter contains general safety information about the UE410 Safeguard Detector
Box safety system. Further safety information regarding specific situations in which the
products may be used is provided in the respective chapters.
2.1
General safety notes
The effectiveness of the protective devices is determined by several features, including
their design and construction. The manufacturer ensures this effectiveness through
corresponding design measures and tests. These measures alone, however, are not
sufficient for demonstrating the effectiveness of a protective device on a machine or
system.
Proper installation, external factors such as ambient conditions or integration into a
safety function can influence the effectiveness. The detection capability and proper
implementation of safety functions in combination with the machine controller cannot
be guaranteed by the manufacturer of the protective device or the machine alone for
this reason.
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
It is possible for people to enter the hazardous area when the machine is running.
b
Follow all safety notes in this document.
b
The sensors are not safety components according to the EU Machinery Directive.
b
Only qualified safety personnel are permitted to perform connection, mounting,
and configuration work
see "Requirements for the qualification of personnel",
.
b
Read the operating instructions before commissioning.
b
Protect the devices from moisture and contamination.
2.2
Intended use
Safeguard Detector photoelectric proximity sensor
The Safeguard Detector photoelectric proximity sensor (hereinafter referred to as “sen‐
sor”) is an opto-electronic photoelectric proximity sensor with background suppression.
It is used for the optical, non-contact detection of objects. If the product is used for any
other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become
void.
UE410-SD and Safeguard Detector sensors
The UE410-SD safety evaluation module and Safeguard Detector sensors are used on
machines with material transportation systems, such
as a carton magazine on a pack‐
aging machine, to prevent the risk of people getting injured by the empty material trans‐
portation system in the event of interrupting the machine. The safety system can also
be used on other machines for comparable detection tasks, provided that the corre‐
sponding application is suitable for this.
Overall, the UE410-SD safety evaluation module and the Safeguard Detector sensors
are certified as a “logic unit for fulfilling a safety function” according to the Machinery
Directive, Annex IV, Item 21, and can be used for safety-related tasks following these
operating instructions.
The UE410-SD safety evaluation module and the Safeguard Detector sensors fulfill the
requirements of a PDDB in accordance with EN 60947-5-3.
