Additional Information
: Design of the factory-supplied Front Panel E-stop is in
accordance with the requirements of IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13849.
IMPORTANT:
If the Front Panel high power ON / OFF lamp (part number
27400-29006) fails, you might incorrectly assume that High Power is OFF and
the robot is safe. To prevent this, a failed lamp causes an error (-924) *Front
panel HIGH POWER lamp failure* and locks out the High Power enabling until
you replace the lamp. Refer to the
eV+3 User's Manual (Cat. No. I651)
for more
information about error handling.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK
If you supply your own Front Panel, its design must comply with the require-
ments of IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13849. The E-Stop's push button must comply
with ISO 13850 (Clause 5.5.2).
