⚠️ Selection & Troubleshooting Notes

Cannot be used alone; transmitter and receiver must be paired.

Two operating range modes available; confirm during commissioning. Long-range mode has higher anti-interference requirements.

When using Flexi Loop series connection, comply with SICK safety loop specifications for total node count and cable length.

Common faults: misalignment (LED alarm), optical window contamination, water ingress at M12 connector, excessive voltage drop on supply line.

🔁 Replacement Information

Same-series replacement: beam quantity and beam spacing must be identical.

Legacy model upgrade: old deTem series upgraded to deTem4 Core. Electrical interface and safety loop logic differ. Direct interchange is not recommended. Safety loop re-evaluation is mandatory.

1. Typical Application Scenarios

Robot workstation access protection, conveyor passages, roll material equipment, forklift passages, single-sided / multi-sided safeguarding for hazardous machine zones. Reflector posts can be used for 3-sided or 4-sided area protection. Supports Flexi Loop series networking to reduce safety relays.

1. Selection & Troubleshooting Key Points
2. Must be used as matched pairs: HA transmitter only pairs with 0A10 receiver; LA short-range transmitter only pairs with short-range receiver. Cross mixing is prohibited.
3. Flexi Loop series connection: Multiple deTem4 Core units can be chained on one safety loop. Total node count and total cable length must comply with SICK safety loop specifications; safety rating remains unchanged after series connection.
4. Common faults: Optical window dust contamination, beam misalignment loss, water ingress at M12 connector, excessive DC supply voltage drop, OSSD false tripping caused by grounding interference.
5. Installation: SICK mounting brackets are recommended. Safety distance calculation required per ISO13855.

SICK deTem4 Core Multi-beam Safety Light Barrier｜Application Scenarios

Positioning Note: deTem4 Core is a multi-beam access protection sensor (multi-beam safety device), not a high-density safety light curtain for finger/hand protection (deTec series). Primary function: hazard zone access protection, suited for large opening passages where personnel occasionally enter. Low beam count (3/4/6 beams), long detection range (HA version up to 90 m). Reflector columns enable 3-sided /4-sided area safeguarding. Type4 / SIL3 / PL e safety rating, supports Flexi Loop series networking.

1. Internal Logistics & Warehouse Automation (Most Common Application)
2. Pallet conveyor / roller conveyor access protection

Pallets automatically move in/out of hazardous zones. Muting function can be enabled: beams are blocked by pallets without machine stop. Immediate hazardous output cut-off if human intrusion is detected. Widely used for AS/RS entrances, palletizing / depalletizing workstations, AGV docking stations.

2. Forklift passages, large material transfer corridors

Wide passages with long-distance detection. Reflector posts create enclosed multi-sided safeguarding for robot palletizing zones and stacker operating areas to prevent unauthorized personnel entry.

3. Automated warehouse lifts, elevator safety door replacement

Mechanical safety doors can be omitted. Multi-beams monitor lift openings; emergency stop triggered on personnel intrusion while materials pass normally.

1. Robot Workstations / Automated Assembly Lines
2. Access openings of safety fencing for industrial robots

Inspection gates and material transfer passages for robotic welding, handling, grinding and assembly cells. Robots safely stop when personnel enter workstation; muting enabled for automatic material feed-in.

2. Human-machine interaction stations, fixture change openings

Production line changeover and manual loading/unloading passages for large opening protection. Flexi Loop allows multiple deTem4 Core units chained on one safety loop, reducing safety relays and simplifying cabinet wiring.

III. Machine Tools, Stamping & Metalworking

1. Access openings of presses, hydraulic machines and bending machines

Large material inlet/outlet passages for presses (not close-range finger protection at die area; deTec high-density light curtains preferred for die zones). Used for perimeter passage protection of presses.

2. Large CNC machining centers, laser cutting machine material inlet/outlet

Sheet / profile automatic material storage access, monitor large equipment openings to prevent personnel reaching into hazardous chambers.

3. Forging & metallurgy auxiliary stations: High-temperature, dusty harsh environments, IP65 housing for wide passage access protection.
4. Packaging, Rubber & Plastics, Paper Industry
5. Packaging lines, carton palletizing, film packaging stations

Full cartons continuously transfer into / out of hazardous zones. Muting distinguishes materials from human bodies, maintaining production while protecting operators.

2. Roll material equipment (film, paper, rubber rolls)

Roll changeover stations, large opening area protection to prevent personnel entanglement in roller hazards.

1. Automotive Manufacturing

Access openings of robot islands and fixture transfer passages for body welding and final assembly lines;

Safety inlets for coating lines and transfer slides. Long-range multi-beam monitoring adapted to large-size automotive production stations.

1. Other Applications

Inspection passages for large test rigs and testing machines;

Tire and building material production lines;

Cold warehouse automation passage protection under low-temperature conditions (-30℃) (wide temperature range advantage of deTem4 Core).

✅ Selection Boundaries (Critical to avoid misuse)

1. Suitable for: Passage entrance, area access protection, detection of human torso intrusion.
2. Not suitable for: Close-range finger / hand hazard point protection (deTec4 Core high-density safety light curtains are recommended for such applications).
3. HA long-range version (your set:1082688+1082689) for wide passages and long distances; LA short-range version for passages within 8 m.
4. Reflector posts can be used for 3-sided,4-sided protection, saving cost of multiple transmitter-receiver sets.
5. Flexi Loop series connection available, multiple safety barriers sharing one safety loop, suitable for multi-station automated production lines.
