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.

10 O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | T4000 Direct 8022738/2019-05-07 | SICK
Subject to change without notice

The control must meet the following requirements for this:
•Switch-on commands that result in a dangerous state may only be activated when
the guard is in protective position.
•The dangerous state must be ended before the guard is moved from the protective
position.
The actuator mounted on the movable part of the guard approaches the sensor when
the guard is closed.
The sensor reads the actuator code and checks its validity accordance with the coding.
If the code is valid, the sensor enables the safety outputs and the application diagnos‐
tic output OUT is set to HIGH.
When the guard is opened, the safety outputs switch off the safety circuit and the appli‐
cation diagnostic output is switched LOW.
3.2 Product characteristics
3.2.1 Product variants
The safety switch is delivered in different variants. You will find an overview of impor‐
tant distinguishing features of the variants in the following.
Sensor
•Sensor with universal coding
•Sensor with unique coding
Actuator
•Cuboid
•Square
•Round
Complete overview of all variants: see "Ordering information", page 46.
3.2.2 Sensing face
The sensor has a sensing face, see "Dimensional drawings", page 44.
The sensing face is marked yellow. It can be adjusted in five directions, see "Changing
the approach direction", page 18.
The center point of the sensing face also corresponds to the center point of the sensor.
3.2.3 Fault detection
Any faults that occur, including internal device faults, are detected at the latest with the
next request to close the safe contacts (e.g. at the machine start). The safety switch
then switches to safe state.
If a fault is detected, the safety circuit is switched off and the LED ERROR lights up red.
In the case of T4000 Direct transponder safety switches as from date of manufacture
1037 (see "Scope", page 5) a fault can be reset in most cases by opening and closing
the guard for at least 2 seconds in each case.
If the fault is still displayed after this, carry out a hardware reset or briefly disconnect
the device from the voltage supply.
Contact the manufacturer if the fault also cannot be reset by restarting the device.
3.2.4 Status indicators
The LEDs STATE (green) and ERROR (red) indicate the operational status of the safety
switch.

4 Project planning
4.1 Manufacturer of the machine
DANGER
Failure to comply with manufacturer’s obligations
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
bCarry out a risk assessment before using the safety switch.
bDo not tamper with, open, or modify the components of the safety switch.
bDo not repair defective devices – they must be replaced instead.
bMake sure that switch-on commands which bring about a dangerous state of the
machine are not enabled until the protective device is closed.
bMake sure that a stop command is triggered when the protective device is opened
during the dangerous machine state.
bThe safety switches must not be defeated (contacts jumpered), rotated away,
removed, or rendered ineffective in any other way. If necessary, put measures in
place to reduce possibilities for defeat.
If several devices are connected in series (cascade) and the simplified process accord‐
ing to ISO 13849 is used to determine the performance level (PL), the PL may be
reduced.
The response time increases with the number of safety switches in a cascade.
4.2 Operating entity of the machine
DANGER
Failure to comply with operating entity’s obligations
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
bModifications to the machine and modifications to the mechanical mounting of
the safety switch necessitate a new risk assessment. The results of this risk
assessment may require the operating entity of the machine to fulfill the manufac‐
turer’s obligations.
bApart from during the procedures described in this document, the components of
the safety switch must not be opened or modified.
bDo not perform repair work on the components. Improper repair of the safety
switch can lead to a loss of the protective function.
bEnsure that there is no bypassing by replacement actuators. Restrict access to
actuators.

4.3 Design
DANGER
Bypassing the protective device
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
bAvoid incentives to manipulate the safety switch by means of the following mea‐
sure:
°Only for universally coded variant: mount safety switch hidden, shielded or
out of reach.
°Use permanent mountings for actuators (e.g. welding, adhesive bonding,
safety screws or rivets).
bObserve the design requirements in accordance with ISO 14119 for mounting:
°Reduction of bypass possibilities of an interlocking device
°Mounting of safety switch and actuator
Mounting location
If the mounting location is not specified by the machine documentation, it must be cho‐
sen carefully, see "Mounting", page 16.
Distance
If several safety switches are mounted on the machine, they must be mounted at a min‐
imum distance to one another see "Mounting", page 16.
Alignment
The sensor and actuator must be mounted so that their sensing faces are directly
aligned facing each other, see "Dimensional drawings", page 44.
Actuating direction
The actuator must approach the sensing face of the sensor when the guard is closed.
4.4 Integration into the electrical control
Switch-on commands that put the machine in a dangerous state may only be activated
when the protective device is closed. When the machine goes into a dangerous state, a
stop command must be triggered if the protective device is opened. Depending on the
safety concept, the signal is analyzed by safety relays or a safety controller, for example.
The control that is connected and all devices responsible for safety must comply with
the required performance level and the required category (for example, according to
ISO 13849-1).
4.5 Thorough check concept
The safety switch must be tested by appropriately qualified safety personnel during
commissioning, after modifications, and at regular intervals; see "Thorough check",
page 32.
Regular thorough checks serve to investigate the effectiveness of the safety switch and
discover defects resulting from modifications or external influences (such as damage or
manipulation).
The manufacturer and operating entity must define the type and frequency of the thor‐
ough checks on the machine on the basis of the application conditions and the risk
assessment. The process of defining the thorough checks must be documented in a
traceable manner.

Subject to change without notice

bSelect the mounting location so that the sensor and actuator are accessible for
maintenance work and are protected against damage.
bMount the sensor and actuator on a non-ferrous surface and at a distance from
metal parts if possible in order to avoid influencing the sensing range. If this is not
possible, the influence on the assured switch-on distance Sao and the assured
switch-off distance Sar must be checked.
bWhen the guard is closed, the sensor and actuator must be located opposite each
other in the assured switch-on distance 0.8 × Sao or closer. A minimum distance
must be observed between the actuator and sensor if the approach direction is
from the side (see "Technical data", page 38).
bThe switching operation must be triggered only by the actuator specifically
intended for this.
bMake sure that all dangerous states are excluded when the guard is opened, even
if the actuator has not yet reached the assured switch-off distance Sar.
NOTE
At the assured switch-off distance Sar, the safety outputs are reliably switched off
even in the event of an internal component failure.
bThe sensor and actuator must not be used as a mechanical stop. If necessary, fit
an additional stop for the movable physical guard.
Mounting the sensor
bMount the sensor on the fixed part of the guard.
bTightening torque of the fixing screws: 1 Nm
Mounting the actuator
bAlign the actuator to the sensor.
bActuators must be positively mounted on the movable part of the guard, e.g. using
the supplied safety screws.
bTightening torque: 1 Nm
bIt must not be possible to remove or manipulate actuators by simple means.
NOTE
When the actuator is installed flush, the sensing range changes based on the installa‐
tion depth and the material of the guard.

6.1 Safety
DANGER
Hazard due to electrical voltage
Hazard due to unexpected starting of the machine
bMake sure that the machine is and remains disconnected from the power supply
during the electrical installation.
bMake sure that the dangerous state of the machine is and remains switched off
during electrical installation.
bMake sure that the outputs of the safety switch have no effect on the machine
during electrical installation.
DANGER
Incorrect safety switch connection
Loss of safety function
bWhen using insulation material or stranded connection wires, make sure they
demonstrate the required temperature resistance and mechanical load capability.
bUse only safe contacts for safety functions.
bAll electrical connections must be isolated from the mains supply either by safety
transformers (EN 61558-2-6) or equivalent isolation measures.
bUse protected cable routing to prevent the risk of cross-circuits and short-circuits.
bAll output contacts must have an adequate suppressor circuit for inductive loads.
For this purpose, the outputs must be protected with a suitable suppressor (e.g.
freewheeling diodes, varistors, RC elements).
DANGER
Increased response time
Loss of safety function
The response time increases depending on the selected suppressor circuit.
bPower devices that represent a strong source of interference must be locally iso‐
lated from the input and output circuits for signal processing. The cable routing of
the safety circuits should be separated from the cables of the power circuits by the
greatest possible distance.
bIn order to avoid EMC disturbances, the physical ambient and operating conditions
at the installation location of the device must comply with the requirements of
EN 60204-1 (EMC).
bPay attention to any interference fields for devices such as frequency converters or
induction heating systems.
bObserve the EMC information in the manuals from the respective manufacturer.
6.2 Failsafety
■If the device does not respond when the supply voltage is connected (e.g. green
LED STATE does not flash), the safety switch must be returned to the manufacturer
unopened.
■The supply voltage UB is reverse polarity protected.
■The safety outputs OA/OB are short-circuit protected.
