):
-The safety outputs are switched off when guard locking is released (monitoring of the locking element).
-The safety outputs are switched off when the guard is open (monitoring of the door position).
-Guard locking can be activated only when the actuator is located in the switch head (prevention of inadvertent locking
position (faulty closure protection)).
-The following additionally applies in an AR series connection: the safety outputs are switched on only when the device
receives a corresponding signal from its predecessor in the chain.
