Safety Concept and Troubleshooting
Category 3 Requirements According to EN ISO 13849-1
Safety-related parts are designed with these attributes:
•
A single fault in any of these parts does not lead to the loss of the safety
function.
•
A single fault is detected whenever reasonably practicable.
•
Accumulation of undetected faults can lead to the loss of the safety
function, which results in failure to remove motion-producing power from
the motor.
Stop Category Definition
Stop category 0 as defined in EN 60204 or Safe Off as defined by EN 61800-5-2
is achieved with immediate removal of motion-producing power to the actuator.
European Union Directives
If this product is installed within the European Union or EEC regions and has
the CE mark, the following regulations apply.
CE Conformity
Conformity with the Low Voltage Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) Directive is demonstrated by using harmonized European Norm (EN)
standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. The
safe torque-off circuit complies with the EN standards when installed according
instructions found in this manual.
EMC Directive
This unit is tested to meet Council Directive 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) by using these standards, in whole or in part:
•
EN 61800-3 - Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive Systems,
Part 3 - EMC Product Standard including specific test methods
•
EN 61326-3-1 EMC - Immunity requirements for safety-related systems
The product described in this manual is intended for use in an industrial
environment.
CE Declarations of Conformity are available online at

IMPORTANT
In the event of a malfunction, the most likely stop category is category 0. When
designing the machine application, timing and distance should be considered
for a coast-to-stop. For more information regarding stop categories, refer to
EN 60204-1.
