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 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.
• The switching unit does not contain any components that require servicing by the user. Unauthorised con-
versions and repairs made to the switching unit will void all guarantees and the manufacturer's liability.
• Auxiliary outputs must not perform any safety-related functions. They are not one-fault safe and do not
undergo a test.
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.
