If it is possible to leave the hazardous area in the direction of the dan-

ger point, it is imperative to choose an operation with restart interlock.

5.  Set-up and maintenance

5.1  Functional testing

The safety function of the safety components must be tested. The fol-

lowing conditions must be previously checked and met:

1.  Correct assembly of the safety light barriers

2.  Check the integrity of the cable entry and connections.

3.  Check the safety light barrier's and the safety-monitoring module's 

enclosure for damage.

4.  If one or more light barriers are interrupted, the hazardous movement 

is brought to standstill

5.  The safety distance of the application exceed the mathematically 

calculated one.

5.2  Diagnostic

LED display

The LED indication of the safety-monitoring module shows the different 

switching conditions and errors. The switching conditions are explained 

in the table.

Function

Power

green

LED is on, when the operating voltage is cor-
rectly connected.

Restart

yellow

LED is on, when the actuation of the com-
mand device (start/restart button) by the 
operator is requested. The LED stays on, until 
the button has been correctly (incl. times) 
actuated.

Input
LED`s

yellow

LED's are on, when a positive voltage is 
present at the corresponding input terminal.

(flash code, refer to paragraph "Diagnostic")

Integral system diagnosis (ISD)

In case of error messages, the "RELAY" LED of the safety-monitoring 

module lights intermittently red. During these intermissions, the LED 

flashes one up to six times with short pulses. The possible errors and 

their causes are listed in the following table.

Display

Error

Cause

one impulse Short-circuit Short-circuit in the cable, the test inputs 

of the light barriers, the contacts of 
the contactor control, the button of the 
restart interlock.

two im-
pulses

Contactor 
control

The contactor control is disabled through 
the DIP switches and there is a positive 
signal at the input.

three im-
pulses

DIP- 
switch

The restart interlock or the bit pattern set 
is not set with a dual-channel structure at 
the DIP switch.

four im-
pulses

Relay

Error of the internal relays or their con-
trol, supply voltage too low.

five im-
pulses

ences on the connecting cables

six impulses internal 

error

error

Deleting the error message

The error message is deleted, when the error cause is eliminated and 

the protection field of at least one light barrier has been interrupted.

5.3  Maintenance

A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following 

steps, is recommended:

1.  Check the correct fixation of the safety light barriers

2.  Clean the optics of the transmitter and the receiver with a soft, clean 

cloth. The use of agressive, abrasive or scratching cleaning agents, 

which could attack the surface, is prohibited.

3.  The total response time of the machine does not exceed the re-

sponse time calculated during the first putting into operation.

6.  Disassembly and disposal

6.1  Disassembly

The safety switchgear must be disassembled in a de-energised condi-

tion only.

6.2  Disposal

The safety switchgear must be disposed of in an appropriate manner in 

accordance with the national prescriptions and legislations.
