Overview
The deTec4 Core is SICK's Type 4 (IEC 61496) safety light curtain for hazardous-point and access guarding. The C4C-SA18030A10000 is the sender with 300 mm protective height and 14 mm resolution for finger protection; it is paired with the matching receiver C4C-EA18030A10000. Integrated alignment aid and status LEDs make commissioning straightforward, and the slim housing fits where older curtains would not. No configuration software is needed — functions are set by wiring.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a safety relay with the deTec4 Core?
The receiver's OSSD outputs must switch the machine's hazardous movement through a safety relay or safety PLC with external device monitoring. A Schneider XPSUAF13AP or Omron G9SE-401 relay is a typical pairing; we can supply the complete circuit.
Is the C4C-SA18030A10000 available from stock, and what is the lead time?
Availability of the deTec4 Core Safety Light Curtain changes with manufacturer production and distributor stock, so we confirm it per request rather than publishing a number that may be out of date. Send the part number and quantity through the quote form and you will receive stock position and lead time within one business day.
Is the C4C-SA18030A10000 genuine, and what documentation comes with it?
We supply only genuine SICK products sourced from the manufacturer or authorized distribution channels. Each delivery includes the commercial invoice and packing list; a Certificate of Conformance, declaration of conformity and country-of-origin statement are provided on request, and the manufacturer's warranty applies.
Can you ship the C4C-SA18030A10000 outside Vietnam?
Yes. We quote EXW Hai Phong, FCA/FOB, CIF or DAP and prepare the export documentation. Buyers in Japan, ASEAN, Europe and North America regularly consolidate multi-brand orders with us into one shipment.
What if the C4C-SA18030A10000 is the wrong variant for my application?
Tell us the application in the notes field. Our engineers check the ordering code against your supply voltage, I/O, communication and environmental requirements and propose the correct variant or a successor part before quoting — at no charge.
