1 About this document
1.1 Function of this document
These operating instructions contain the information needed during the life cycle of the
safety switch.
They must be made available to all people who work with the safety switch.
1.2 Scope
These operating instructions apply only to the T4000 Direct transponder safety
switches as from the date of manufacture:
•0801xxxx
You will find the date of manufacture of the device in the field Date Code on the type
label in the format yywwxxxx (yy = year, ww = calendar week, xxxx = serial number).
1.3 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 (such as
CE authorized representatives, compliance officers, people 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 switch: project planning, mounting, electrical installation, commissioning, opera‐
tion, and maintenance.
In many applications, the target groups consist of the manufacturer and the operating
entity of the machine in which the safety switch is integrated:

and warning instructions in all chapters of the operating instructions!
In other applications, the operating organization is also the manufacturer of the equip‐
ment with the corresponding allocation of the target groups.

Terminology
Dangerous state
A dangerous state is a status of the machine or facility, where people may be injured.
Protective devices prevent this risk if the machine is operated within its intended use.
The figures in this document always show the dangerous state of the machine as move‐
ment of a machine part. In practice, there are different dangerous states, such as:
•Machine movements
•Electrical parts

2 Safety information
2.1 General safety notes
This chapter contains general safety information about the safety switch.
Further information about specific product use situations can be found in the relevant
chapters.
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.
bFollow all safety notes in this document.
2.2 Intended use
NOTICE
The user is responsible for ensuring that the device is correctly incorporated into a safe
overall system. This involves validating the overall system according to specifications
such as those defined in ISO 13849-2 or EN 62061.
The T4000 Direct transponder safety switch is switched by a non-contact actuator and
is suitable for the following applications:
■Movable physical guards
■Safe position monitoring
The safety switch must be used only on the machine on which it was planned, mounted,
installed and initially commissioned by qualified safety personnel in accordance with
these operating instructions.
Incorrect use, improper modification or manipulation of the safety switch will invalidate
any warranty from SICK; in addition, any responsibility and liability of SICK for damage
and secondary damage caused by this is excluded.
The safety switch is not suitable for the ambient conditions such as, but not limited, to
the following:
•Radioactivity (exception: natural radioactivity)
•Vacuum or high pressure
•High UV load
•In the vicinity of low-frequency RFID devices
•In the vicinity of magnetic fields
The following may impair the function of the safety switch:
•Metal subsurface or metal in direct proximity
•Passing metal chips
2.3 Requirements for the qualification of personnel
The safety switch must be configured, mounted, connected, commissioned, and ser‐
viced by qualified safety personnel only.

Project planning
For project planning, a person is considered competent when he/she has expertise and
experience in the selection and use of protective devices on machines and is familiar
with the relevant technical rules and national work safety regulations.
Mechanical mounting, electrical installation, and commissioning
For the task, a person is considered qualified when he/she has the expertise and expe‐
rience in the relevant field and is sufficiently familiar with the application of the protec‐
tive device on the machine to be able to assess whether it is in an operationally safe
state.
Operation and maintenance
For operation and maintenance, a person is considered competent when he/she has
the expertise and experience in the relevant field and is sufficiently familiar with the
application of the protective device on the machine and has been instructed by the
machine operator in its operation.

3 Product description
3.1 Structure and function
Figure 1: Components of the T4000 Direct transponder safety switch
1Sensor
2Actuator (transponder)
The T4000 Direct transponder safety switch can used individually or connected in
series (maximum 20). It consists of two components:
•Sensor
The sensor is mounted on the fixed part of the guard and is connected to the sys‐
tem or machine control.
The sensor version determines whether an actuator has to be taught in at the sen‐
sor before commissioning.
•Actuator (transponder)
The actuator is mounted on the movable part of the guard.
Each actuator has a unique electronic code.
T40-E0101K sensor with universal coding
A sensor with universal coding checks only whether there is a valid actuator type in the
response range. A previous teach-in process is not required. The T4000 Direct with uni‐
versal coding therefore has a low coding level.
T40-E0121K sensor with unique coding
In order for an actuator to be recognized as valid by a sensor with unique coding, it
must first be assigned to this sensor by a teach-in process. The sensor will accept only
the actuator that was taught in last.
This unique assignment permits realization of particularly high protection against
manipulation. The T4000 Direct with unique coding therefore has a high coding level.
Operating principle
The T4000 Direct transponder safety switch monitors movable physical guards in con‐
junction with the corresponding machine and system control:
•Operation of the machine in automatic mode is possible only if the guard is closed.
•A stop command is triggered if the guard is opened while the machine is running.
