2. Correct use
In combination with a control system, the Euchner Control Box allows dangerous machine movements to be performed as
long as all valid unique, transponder-coded keys (CKS keys) are inserted. If at least one CKS key is removed during operation,
the two safety contacts are switched off and a stop command is triggered. The safety contacts remain switched off when
the CKS key is removed. The installation cannot be restarted.
The system allows two CKS keys to be taught-in. When the CKS keys are removed from an ECB device, up to two persons
can access the hazardous area for servicing. The ECB therefore performs the function of a safe lockout bar.
The ECB devices are also suitable for use as key transfer systems. When the CKS key is removed, the operator can enter
the hazardous area safely and can use the same CKS key to start local machine functions via another ECB device.
The system can fulfill its safety function only if the users always carry their CKS keys with them when accessing the machine.
When leaving the machine, they must ensure that there are no other persons in the machine. Only persons who have been
instructed about using the ECB device safely may access the machine. The organization operating the machine must ensure
that these guidelines are met.
With the ECB-A-2K-A1-160397 version, guard locking release is additionally prevented on the connected safety switch CTP-
LBI-AP as long as all CKS keys are inserted in the device.
Each ECB device is a safety system, consisting of:
Ì
A stainless steel housing
Ì
2 x CKS key adapter
Ì
2 x CKS keys (already taught-in); unique, transponder-coded devices (see chapter 12.1. Spare parts)
Ì
1 x CES evaluation unit, unicode
Ì
A transponder-coded safety switch with guard locking CTP-LBI-AP-U-HA-AZ-SA-127798 is additionally connected on
ECB-A-2K-A1-160397 devices.
Before use, a risk assessment must be performed on the machine, e.g. in accordance with:
Ì
EN ISO 13849-1
Ì
EN ISO 12100
Ì
EN IEC 62061
Correct use includes observing the relevant requirements for installation and operation, particularly based on the following
standards:
Ì
EN ISO 13849-1
Ì
EN ISO 14119
Ì
EN 60204-1
Important!
Ì
The user is responsible for the proper integration of the device into a safe overall system. For this
purpose, the overall system must be validated, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
Ì
Correct use requires observing the permissible operating parameters (see chapter 11. Technical
Ì
ECB devices must be used only in conjunction with the designated CKS keys from EUCHNER. On
the use of different keys, EUCHNER provides no warranty for safe function. In the delivery state,
the two CKS keys have already been taught-in.
Ì
The safety switch CTP-LBI-AP is allowed to be operated only in conjunction with the intended EUCH-
NER actuator and the related connection components from EUCHNER. On the use of different actu-
ators or other connection components, EUCHNER provides no warranty for safe function.
Ì
The ECB may be opened only to teach-in a new CKS key.
Ì
The required teach-in function is described in chapter 9.1.2. Teach-in operation on the CES evalua-
Ì
The internal wiring of the device must not be changed, except to perform a new teach-in opera-
tion.
Ì
Only the manufacturer may replace device components. Please contact the manufacturer if servic-
ing is required.
