1.6 Warning about misuse
In case of improper use or manipulation of the safety
switchgear, personal hazards or damages to machinery
or plant components cannot be excluded when safety
switchgear is used. The relevant requirements of the
standard ISO 14119 must be observed.
1.7 Exclusion of liability
We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from
defective mounting or failure to comply with this operating instructions
manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages
resulting from the use of unauthorised spare parts or accessories.
For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary
repairs, conversions and modifications to the device are strictly
forbidden; the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages
resulting from such invasive work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or
modifications to the device.

2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Destination and use
The safety sensor can be used for monitoring the position of movable
guards and flaps in explosion-endangered areas of Zone 2 and 22
category 3GD. Installation and maintenance requirements to the
standard series EN 60079 must be met. For the actuation of the safety
sensors, only the EX-BPS 33 actuator can be used.
The safety switches are used for applications, in which the hazardous
situation is terminated without delay when the safety guard is opened.
The safety switchgears are classified according to
ISO 14119 as type 4 interlocking devices.
Only the entire system consisting of the safety sensor (EX-BNS), the
actuator (EX-BPS) and the safety-monitoring module (AES/SRB/AZR)
meet the requirements of the standard IEC 60947-5-3.
Conditions for safe operation
Due to their specific impact energy, the components must be fitted
with a protection against mechanical stresses.
The specific ambient temperature range must be observed. The user
must provide for a protection against the permanent influence of UV
rays. The energy restriction for LED versions (24 V/10 mA) must be
ensured by the user.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level.
The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety
component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant
standards.

If multiple safety components are wired in series, the Performance
Level to ISO 13849-1 will be reduced due to the restricted error
detection under certain circumstances.
