1. About this document

1.1 Function
This operating instructions manual provides all the information you
need for the mounting, set-up and commissioning to ensure the safe
operation and disassembly of the safety-monitoring module. The
operating instructions must be available in a legible condition and a
complete version in the vicinity of the device.

1.2 Target group: authorised qualified personnel

All operations described in this operating instructions manual must
be carried out by trained specialist personnel, authorised by the plant
operator only.

Please make sure that you have read and understood these operating
instructions and that you know all applicable legislations regarding
occupational safety and accident prevention prior to installation and
putting the component into operation.

The machine builder must carefully select the harmonised standards

to be complied with as well as other technical specifications for the
selection, mounting and integration of the components.

button is pressed (not when it is released!).
7.2 Disposal
The safety-monitoring module must be disposed of in an appropriate Automatic start (see Fig. 4)
manner in accordance with the national prescriptions and legislations. • The automatic start is programmed by connecting the feedback circuit
to the terminals X1-X2. If the feedback circuit is not required, establish
a bridge.
•C  aution: Not admitted without additional measure due to the risk
of gaining access by stepping behind!
• When the safety-monitoring module is used with the operating mode
"Automatic start", an automatic restart after a shutdown in case of
emergency must be prevented by the upstream control to EN 60204-1
