On safety
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where a Flexi Classic safety controller is used. The machine operator is to be instructed
in the use of the device by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the ope-
rating instructions.
The Flexi Classic system complies, as per the “radiated emissions” generic standard, with
the requirements of class A (industrial applications). the Flexi Classic system is therefore
only suitable for use in an industrial environment.
