Safety
Before using the safety sensor, a risk assessment must be performed according to valid standards (e.g.
ISO/EN ISO 12100, ISO/EN ISO 13849-1, IEC/EN 61508, IEC/EN 62061). The result of the risk assess-
ment determines the required safety level of the safety sensor (Safety-relevant technical data). For mount-
ing, operating and testing, this document as well as all applicable national and international standards, reg-
ulations, rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be observed,
printed out and handed to affected persons.
