1.6  Warning about misuse

In case of inadequate or improper use or manipulations of  
the safety-monitoring module, personal hazards or damages 
to machinery or plant components cannot be excluded.  
The relevant requirements of the standard EN 1088 must  
be observed.

1.7  Exclusion of liability

We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from 
defective mounting or failure to comply with this operating instructions 
manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resulting 
from the use of unauthorised spare parts or accessories.

For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary re-

pairs, conversions and modiications to the device are strictly forbidden; 

the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resulting from 

such invasive work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or modiications 

to the device.

Only if the information described in this operating instructions 
manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefore 
the compliance with the Machinery Directive is maintained.

2.2  Special versions

For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1, 

these speciications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to 

the standard version.

2.3  Destination and use

The safety-monitoring modules for integration in safety circuits are 

designed for itting in control cabinets. They are used for the safe 

evaluation of the signals of positive break position switches for safety 
functions or magnetic safety sensors on sliding, hinged and removable 
safety guards as well as emergency stop control devices.

Design

The safety-monitoring modules have a dual-channel structure. They 
include two safety relays with monitored positive action contacts. The 
NO contacts of the relays, which are wired in series, build the enabling 
contacts.
