2 Safety information
2.1 General safety notes
The following safety notes must always be observed regardless of specific application
conditions:
•The device must only be mounted, commissioned, operated, and maintained by
professionally qualified safety personnel.
•Electrical connections with peripheral devices must only be made when the volt‐
age supply is disconnected.
•The device is only to be operated when mounted in a fixed position.
•The device voltage supply must be protected in accordance with the specifica‐
tions.
•The specified ambient conditions must be observed at all times.
•The electrical connections to peripheral devices must be screwed on correctly.
•The cooling fins must not be covered or restricted in their functionality.
•The pin assignment of pre-assembled cables must be checked and adjusted if
necessary.
•These operating instructions must be made available to the operating personnel
and kept ready to hand.
2.2 Intended use
The device is a programmable control and evaluation unit for sensors and image proc‐
essing devices. The device also acts as a link between system and plant controls, and
the connected terminal devices. The device is mainly used in an industrial environment
in production, testing, and control. Other applications are possible depending on the
device-specific properties.
The device is programmed on a PC by using the development environment software
SICK AppSpace. Depending on the application, a browser-based, graphical user inter‐
face (HMI) can be created, which provides opportunities defined by the application
developer to influence an application at operator level.
The device connection to the peripherals is established by means of a range of indus‐
trial fieldbuses and other interfaces.
The device offers various interfaces for controlling, programming, and operating pur‐
poses, which can be activated as necessary via development environments, control sys‐
tems (programmable logic controllers), or applications.
However, configuration, programming, and control requires various technical skills,
depending on how the device is connected and used.
2.3 Improper use
Use of the device is generally only permitted in the ambient conditions specified in the
technical data.
The SIM4000 is not suitable for certain application conditions, including:
•Use in areas with explosive atmosphere (hazardous area)
•Use in safety-relevant environments (safety)
•Use in extreme ambient conditions (see technical data)
•Use under water or in a corrosive atmosphere

2.4 IP technology
NOTE
SICK uses standard IP technology in its products. The emphasis is placed on availability
of products and services. SICK always assumes that the integrity and confidentiality of
the data and rights affected by the use of the aforementioned products will be ensured
by the customer. In all cases, appropriate security measures, such as network separa‐
tion, firewalls, virus protection, and patch management, must be taken by the customer
on the basis of the situation in question.
2.5 Limitation of liability
Applicable standards and regulations, the latest state of technological development,
and our many years of knowledge and experience have all been taken into account
when assembling the data and information contained in these operating instructions.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by:
■Failing to observe the operating instructions
■Incorrect use
■Use by untrained personnel
■Unauthorized conversions
■Technical modifications
■Use of unauthorized spare parts, consumables, and accessories
With special variants, where optional extras have been ordered, or owing to the latest
technical changes, the actual scope of delivery may vary from the features and illustra‐
tions shown here.
2.5.1 Programmable device
The Sensor Integration Machine (SIM) is a programmable device.
Therefore the respective programmer is responsible for his/her programming perform‐
ance and the resulting working principle of the device.
The liability and warranty of SICK AG is limited to the device specification (hardware
functionality and any programming interfaces) according to the agreed conditions.
Therefore, SICK AG is not liable, among other things, for damages that are caused by
programming of the customer or third parties.
2.6 Modifications and conversions
NOTICE
Modifications and conversions to the device and/or the installation may result in
unforeseeable dangers.
Interrupting or modifying the device or SICK software will invalidate any warranty claims
against SICK AG. This applies in particular to opening the housing, even as part of
mounting and electrical installation.
Before technical modifications to and expansions of the device, the prior written appro‐
val of the manufacturer must be obtained.

2.8 Hazard warnings and operational safety
Please observe the safety notes and the warnings listed here and in other chapters of
these operating instructions to reduce the possibility of risks to health and avoid dan‐
gerous situations.
The SIM4000 is classified as a device belonging to LED risk group RG 1 in accordance
with IEC 62471:-1:2006-07/EN 62471-1:2008-09. The status indicators operate with
blue, green, yellow, and red LEDs in an irregular flashing sequence.

The accessible beam from the LEDs does not represent a risk due to the normal restric‐
tions imposed by human behavior. It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary, diso‐
rienting optical effects on the human eye (e.g., dazzle, flash blindness, afterimages,
impairment of color vision), particularly in conditions of dim lighting. No protective
measures are required.
CAUTION
Improper use can lead to hazardous radiation exposure.
■Do not look into the illumination intentionally for extended periods of time.
■Do not open the housing.
■Observe the applicable national regulations regarding photobiological safety.
■The peak wavelengths for the status indicators are as follows (+-10 nm):
– blue 460 nm
– green 515 nm
– yellow 590 nm
– red 645 nm
■RG 0 (no risk) is not exceeded from a distance of 2 meters.
No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with LED risk group RG 1.
