sure to avoid igniting hazardous atmospheres.
►Only reconnect the voltage supply once you have completed the mounting process.
DANGER
Risk of ignition
Failure to observe this information could result in a risk of ignition.
►If the device is used in an environment classified as tbIIIC, tcIIIB or tcIIIC, the
cover must not be removed, not even temporarily (e.g. for maintenance purposes).
DANGER

The mounting process is comprised of either three or four stages:
1. If you have purchased the safety light curtain in pre-mounted condition, please
skip this step.
First mount the C4000 Select safety light curtain in the explosion-proof enclosure
using the two swivel mount brackets supplied. The swivel mount bracket makes
it possible to rotate the sender and receiver around the axis of the device and to
align them accurately.

2. Install the cable glands if necessary.
3. Secure the handles supplied onto the enclosure cover.
4. Mount the safety light curtain in the explosion-proof enclosure on the machine.
The explosion-proof enclosure can either be attached directly or using the align‐
ment bracket (available as an accessory, see "Accessories", page 30).
NOTE
►Read this section in full before mounting the safety light curtain.
►Read the section "Aligning the sender and receiver", page 22.
3.3.1 Mount the safety light curtain in the explosion-proof enclosure (only if the safety light curtain is
used in North America)
NOTE
If the device in pre-mounted condition has been purchased, please skip this section.
DANGER
Risk of ignition or explosion
►Use fixing screws with a yield point of at least 640MPa to attach the cover to the
explosion-proof enclosure.
NOTE
Only safety light curtains with a resolution of 30mm are suitable for mounting in the
explosion-proof enclosure.
1. Unscrew the fixing screws on the cover and remove the cover from the explosion-
proof enclosure.
2. Attach the swivel mount brackets to the upper and lower end caps on the safety
light curtain.
3. Position the safety light curtain in the explosion-proof enclosure so that the con‐
necting cable is at the same end of the explosion-proof enclosure as the 3/4" NPT
opening.
4. Using the fixing screws supplied, attach the swivel mount brackets to the mounting
holes provided in the explosion-proof enclosure.
5. Tighten the fixing screws on the swivel mount brackets with a torque of 2.5 to 3
Nm. Too high a torque could damage the swivel mount brackets while too low a
torque does not provide sufficient protection against vibration.

6. Align the safety light curtain in the explosion-proof enclosure so that it meets the
following criteria:
°Each rib in the window on the cover must cover no more than one optical
lens.
°Depending on the protective field height, the first rib on the side of the
connection must cover the following optical lenses:
Protective field height Optical lenses covered
600 mm Tenth optical lens
900 mm Second optical lens
1,200 mm Second optical lens
7. Turn the safety light curtain in the swivel mount brackets so that the front screen
of the safety light curtain faces the opening in the explosion-proof enclosure.
The infra-red rays must be able to pass through the window in the cover without
obstruction.
8. Tighten the screws used to secure the safety light curtain in the swivel mount
brackets with a torque of 2.5 to 3Nm.
9. Guide the connecting cable through the 3/4" NPT opening. Make sure that the
thread for the 3/4" NPT opening is not damaged.
10. If a cable gland is required, follow the instructions to mount the gland, see "Mount‐
ing the optional cable gland", page 12.
11. Fit the cover to the explosion-proof enclosure using the supplied fixing screws and
washers. Tighten the fixing screws with a torque of 11.5 to 14.5Nm.
NOTE
The washers must be used to obtain enclosure rating IP 66.
3.3.2 Mounting the optional cable gland
Depending on national regulations and requirements, a cable gland may have to be
installed. The cable gland is available as an accessory.
1. Guide the cable through the cable gland.
2. Screw the cable gland into the 3/4" NPT opening on the explosion-proof enclosure.
3. Pull the collar on the cable gland so that the cable is securely attached.
DANGER
Risk ofignition or explosion
►Check the 3/4" NPT opening on the thread for damage.
►Do not use the device if the thread for the 3/4" NPT opening is damaged.
3.3.3 Mounting the handles onto the cover of the explosion-proof enclosure
1. Use the supplied M6 screws to secure the two handles onto the cover of the
explosion-proof enclosure.
2. Tighten the screws with a torque of 4.5 to 5 Nm.

4 Electrical installation
4.1 Safety
In addition to the information in the underlying operating instructions, please observe
the following points when installing the electrics for the safety light curtain.
DANGER
Ignition Hazard
Failure to observe this information could result in a risk of ignition
►Always switch the voltage supply off before disconnecting a connecting cable from
the device.
►Ensure that all electrical connections to the device or to the connections are
protected.
►The IP enclosure rating for the connections and therefore for the device is only
guaranteed if the connections are protected. Otherwise foreign objects can get
into the terminal compartment. This can cause an explosion the next time the
device is switched on.
►Put in place measures for ensuring supply reliability and delivery dependability.
DANGER
Risk of ignition
Failure to observe this information could result in a risk of ignition.
►If the device is used in an environment classified as tbIIIC, tcIIIB or tcIIIC, the
cover must not be removed, not even temporarily (e.g. for maintenance purposes).
DANGER
Risk of ignition or explosion
►If you have to remove the cover when working on the safety light curtain, make
sure that the joints and o-ring are clean and undamaged before refitting the cover.
DANGER
Risk of ignition or explosion
►Disconnect the power supply before opening the explosion-proof enclosure to
avoid igniting hazardous atmospheres.
►Do not reconnect the power supply until you have completed the electrical installa‐
tion.
