Inductive signal transmission system

2. General safety regulations and protective measures

• The manufacturer and users of the plant / machine on which the protection is being used are responsible
for implementing and following all applicable safety regulations and rules.
• When used in conjunction with the higher-order controller, the protection guarantees functional safety,
but not the safety of the entire plant / machine. The safety of the entire plant / machine must, therefore,
be assessed in accordance with machinery directive 2006/42/EC or appropriate product norm before using
the device.
• The operating instructions must always be available at the place of installation of the protection.
They must be read thoroughly and observed by all persons involved in the operation, maintenance and
servicing of the protection.
• The protection must only be installed and commissioned by professionals familiar with these operating
instructions and the applicable operational safety and accident prevention regulations. All of the instruc-
tions provided in these operating instructions must be observed and followed.
All electrical work must only be performed by skilled electricians.
• All relevant electrical engineering and Employer's Liability Insurance Association safety regulations must
be observed.
• During work on the switching unit, it is to be switched to zero potential, checked to ensure that it is at
zero potential and protected against being restarted.
• If the semiconductor outputs are charged with a voltage from an external source it must be ensured
that this is also turned off before commencing work on the switching unit.
• The switching unit does not contain any components that require servicing by the user.
Unauthorised conversions and repairs made to the switching unit will void all guarantees and the
manufacturer's liability.
The switching unit complies with EN ISO 13849-1 „Safety-related parts of control
systems", category 2. To meet category 2 requirements, the safety system must be
tested prior to each dangerous movement of the plant / machine.
Without testing, the operation or wiring of the safety relay does not satisfy these
safety requirements.
The requirements of EN 12978 "Safety devices for power operated doors and gates" and
EN 12453 "Safety in use of power operated gates" are also fulfilled.
For the design of the safety system to conform to engineer standards, the plant / machine must
be professionally inspected at appropriate intervals for proper function. The inspection must
be documented in such a way as to be comprehensible at all times.
The manufacturer assumes no liability in the event of non-observance or intentional abuse.
