Proper Use
The devices are safety switching devices. They must only be used as components of safety equipment on machines intended to protect persons, material and
plant.
Notes
•
The Performance Level (PL) and safety category in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 depends on the external wiring, the application case, the choice of
control station and how this is physically arranged on the machine.
•
The user must carry out a risk assessment in accordance with ISO 14121-1.
•
The entire system/machine must undergo validation in accordance with the applicable standards on the basis of this.
•
In order for the specified Performance Level (PL) to be achieved, an average annual number of switching cycles must not be exceeded (see EN ISO
13849-1, C.2.4 and Tab. K.1), taking into account the prevailing device load (see EN ISO 13849-1, Tab. C.1) and the application case. Assuming that the
B
value for the maximum load is 400,000, this results in a maximum cycle number of 400,000 / 0.1 x 30 = 133,333 switching cycles/year.
10d
•
Operating the device not within the specifications may lead to malfunctions or the destruction of the device.
•
Operate the RESET button not longer than 3 s. The indicated times must be observed when the device is operated, otherwise the device could
lock. Locking can be cancelled by opening the safety inputs properly.
•
SNE expansion devices or external contactors with positively driven contacts can be used to duplicate the enabling current paths.
•
The device and the contacts must be protected at max. 6 A utilization category gG.
•
The devices are equipped with overload protection (for short-circuit). After the malfunction has been dealt with, the device is operational
again in approx. 3 s.
•
Control outputs S11/S13 is exclusively for connecting control devices as defined in the operating instructions and not for connecting external
consumers such as lamps, relays or contactors.
•
Close the E-Stop circuit before operate the RESET button.
•
If sensors with reed contacts or semiconductor outputs used pay attention to the peak current (see technical data section control circuits).
