4.1
Manufacturer of the machine
DANGER
Failure to comply with manufacturer’s obligations
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
b
Carry out a risk assessment before using the safety relay.
b
Do not manipulate, open or modify the components of the safety relay.
b
Make sure the safety relay is only repaired by the manufacturer or by someone
authorized by the manufacturer. Improper repair can lead to a loss of the protec‐
tive function.
4.2
Operating entity of the machine
DANGER
Failure to observe operator obligations
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
b
Changes to the machine and changes to the mechanical mounting of the safety
relay necessitate a new risk assessment. The results of this risk assessment may
require the entity operating the machine to meet the obligations of a manufac‐
turer.
b
Apart from the procedures described in this document, the components of the
safety relay must not be opened or modified.
b
Do not carry out any repair work on components. Improper repair of the safety
relay can lead to a loss of the protective function.
4.3
Design
The safety relay must be installed in a control cabinet with an enclosure rating of IP54
or higher.
The safety relay must be installed on a mounting rail (35 mm) in accordance with IEC
60715.
Space requirements in the control cabinet
To ensure sufficient air circulation and cooling, sufficient distance must be kept in the
control cabinet above and below the safety relay.
Sufficient distance must be kept for the connected cables before the module (front
side).
