1 About this document
These operating instructions contain information required during the life cycle of the
safety light curtain.
These operating instructions are available to all those who work with the safety light
curtain.
Please read these operating instructions carefully and make sure that you understand
the content fully before working with the safety light curtain.
1.1 Scope
These operating instructions only apply to the deTec4 Prime safety light curtain with the
following type label entry Operating Instructions: 8017724, or 8017724/YQ03.
These operating instructions are included with SICK part number 8017724/YQ03 (all
available languages).
1.2 Target groups and structure of these operating instructions
These operating instructions are intended for the following target groups: Project devel‐
opers (planners, developers, designers), installers, electricians, safety experts (e.g., CE
authorized representatives, compliance officers, persons who test and approve the
application), operators, and maintenance personnel.
The structure of these operating instructions is based on the life cycle phases of the
safety light curtain: Project planning, mounting, electrical installation, commissioning,
operation, and maintenance.
In many applications, the target groups are assigned as follows to the manufacturer
and the organization operating the machine in which the safety light curtain is inte‐
grated:

2 Safety information
This chapter contains information on general safety for the safety light curtain.
More safety information about specific usage situations of the safety light curtain is
available in the respective chapters.
2.1 General safety notes
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
bPlease read this document carefully and make sure that you understand the con‐
tent fully before working with the device.
bPay particular attention to all warnings in this document.
CAUTION
Class 1 laser

Figure 1: Class 1 laser
This device has been classified in accordance with the following standards:
•IEC 60825-1:2007/EN 60825-1:2007
•IEC 60825-1:2014/EN 60825-1:2014
•21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice
No. 50 dated 2007-06-24
The laser is eye-safe. Looking directly into the laser may cause temporary impairments.
The outlet opening of the laser radiation is located in the sender, see figure 3,
page 17. The laser is only active when the laser alignment aid is switched on.
Laser identification is located on the rear of the sender.
bComply with the latest version of the applicable provisions on laser protection.
CAUTION
If any operating or adjusting devices other than those specified in this document are
used or other methods are employed, this can lead to dangerous exposure to radiation.
bOnly use the operating or adjusting devices specified in this document.
bOnly follow the methods specified in this document.
