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/EG 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 opera-

ting instructions and the applicable operational safety and accident prevention regulations All of the 

instructions 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 potential-free contacts of the relay outputs are supplied externally with a dangerous voltage, make 

certain that these outputs are also switched off during 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 protection system is to be professionally inspected at appropriate intervals and be documented in such 

a way that it is comprehensible at all times

Safety advice

•  The switching unit enables operation at 230 V as well as with 24 V AC/DC Connecting the operating voltage 

to the wrong terminals can destroy the switching unit

•  The switching unit is to be installed in a switching cabinet
•  Do not install in the immediate vicinity of strong sources of heat
•  For capacitive and inductive loads, ensure adequate protective circuits

The switching unit complies with EN ISO 13849-1 „Safety-related parts of control systems“, Cat. 3. 

To meet Cat. 3 requirements, the switching unit has a redundant structure with two, two-way 

polling, forcibly actuated safety relays per channel.

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.

The manufacturer assumes no liability in the event of non-observance or intentional abuse.
