2.3 Motor starter with safety function (DOS, ROS)
The devices to actuate motors described in this Section must not be
operated in potentially explosive Ex e increased safety (ATEX) areas.

Note that the permissible continuous current for devices with a
rated operational current I
e
of 9 A depends on the type of
mounting and the ambient temperature,
→
Currents under the minimum current specified in the table 4 will
not be detected by the motor protection.
It is therefore not permissible to operate the motor under this
value – especially in applications which fall under the remit of
the ATEX guideline.
The motor starter itself also works if the current is under this
minimum value. This state is displayed by the flashing of both
LEDs
PWR
and
