Expert FAQ & Buying Guide

• Does the S30B-3011CA include the mounting bracket?
• Standard brackets are usually sold separately to match the specific wall, floor, or corner mounting requirements.
• What is the purpose of the 100 mm protective field supplement?
• This is a safety calculation factor added to the protective field to account for measurement tolerances at the field boundaries.
• Can I use this scanner for outdoor vehicle safety?
• No, the S30B-3011CA is rated for indoor use only. For outdoors, we recommend the SICK outdoorScan3 series.
• How many field sets can be configured in this Advanced model?
• This model supports up to 4 field sets (12 individual fields), allowing for dynamic switching as the machine's task changes.
• Is the configuration software free?
• SICK CDS software is available, but you will need the specific RS-232 configuration cable to connect your PC to the sensor.
