Risk of electrocution!
Danger to life or risk of serious injuries.
• Disconnect the system and device from the power supply and ensure
they remain disconnected during electrical installation.
• The device may only be used for the applications described in the mu-
tually applicable operating instructions / data sheet. The notes in the
respective documentation must be heeded. The permissible ambient
conditions must be observed.
• The contact protection of the elements connected and the insulation of
the supply cables must be designed in accordance with the requirements
in the operating instructions / data sheet.
• Note the VDE and local regulations, particularly those related to protec-
tive measures.
WARNING
Risk of fire or other thermal hazards!
Danger to life, risk of serious injuries or property damage.
• The device may only be used for the applications described in the mutually
applicable operating instructions / data sheet. The notes in the respective
documentation must be heeded. The permissible ambient conditions
must be observed. In particular, the current limit curve must be heeded.
• The device may only be installed and put into operation by experts who
are familiar with this technical documentation and the applicable health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
WARNING
Functional error!
Danger to life, risk of serious injuries or property damage.
• The device may only be used for the applications described in the mu-
tually applicable operating instructions / data sheet. The notes in the
respective documentation must be heeded. The permissible ambient
conditions must be observed.
• The device may only be installed and put into operation by experts who
are familiar with this technical documentation and the applicable health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• The unit should be panel mounted in an enclosure rated at IP 54 or
superior. Dust and dampness may lead to malfunction.
WARNING
Installation fault!
Danger to life, risk of serious injuries or property damage.
• Make sure of sufficient protection circuitry at all output contacts for
capacitive and inductive loads.
!
Attention!
• The safety function must be triggered during commissioning.
• AUTOMATIC START !
According to IEC/EN 60 204-1 part 9.2.5.4.2 and 10.8.3 it is not allowed
to restart automatically after emergency stop.
Therefore the machine control has to disable the automatic start
after emergency stop.

General Notes
Designated Use
The UG 6980 is used to enable and interrupt a safety circuit in a safe way.
It can be used to protect people and machines in applications with e-stop
buttons, safety gates, light curtains with selftesting (Type 4) acc. to IEC/
EN 61 496-1, 2-hand controls for presses as well as other production ma-
chinery with dangerous closing action (Type III C to EN 574) and for safety
mats, safety edges and tape switches. To avoid damage of safety mats,
safety edges and tape switches by to high switching current, the current
provided by UG 6980 is limited to max. 15 mA also in the case of short
circuit. When used in accordance with its intended purpose and following
these operating instructions, this device presents no known residual risks.
Nonobservance may lead to personal injuries and damages to property.
