Correct use
The Flexi Classic modular safety controller may only be used as intended in section 2.2
“Applications of the device”. It may only be used by specialist personnel and only at the
machine at which it was mounted and initially commissioned by qualified safety personnel
in accordance with these operating instructions.
If the device is used for any other purposes or modified in any way — also during mounting
and installation — any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.

General safety notes and protective measures
Observe the safety notes and protective measures!
Please observe the following items in order to ensure correct use of the Flexi Classic
modular safety controller.
•
When mounting, installing and using the Flexi Classic, observe the standards and
directives applicable in your country.
•
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, use and
periodic technical inspection of the Flexi Classic modular safety controller, in particular:
– Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
– EMC Directive 2004/108/EC (valid until 19.04.2016)
EMC Directive 2014/30/EU (valid from 20.04.2016)
– Provision and Use of Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC
– Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC (valid until 19.04.2016)
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (valid from 20.04.2016)
– The work safety regulations/safety rules
•
Manufacturers and owners of the machine on which a Flexi Classic is used are
responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
•
The notes, in particular the test notes (see chapter 8 “Commissioning” on page 90) of
these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the
existing machine controller) must be observed.
•
The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorised personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests
can be reconstructed and retraced at any time by third parties.
•
These operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where the Flexi Classic is used. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of
the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the operating
instructions.
•
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. EN 61
496-1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must, among other aspects, be able to
bridge a power failure lasting 20 ms. Suitable power supplies are available as acces-
sories from SICK.
•
The modules of the Flexi Classic family conform to Class A, Group 1, in accordance with
EN 55
011. Group 1 encompasses all ISM devices in which intentionally generated
and/or used conductor-bound RF energy that is required for the inner function of the
device itself occurs.
