4.2
Fuse protection for the power supply
Protect the power supply externally.
Design the external fuse depending on the number of switches and the required power for
the outputs. Also observe the connecting cable used.
Observe the following rules:
Maximum current consumption of a single switch
Maximum current consumption of a switch chain

If you protect the safety switch and evaluation device with a common fuse, also observe
the requirements of the evaluation device when designing the fuse.
CAUTION: Damage to equipment or malfunction due to inappropriate connecting
cables
Observe the requirements on the connecting cables in the following table.

Note that too high cable capacities at very low load currents may falsify the test pulses of
the safety outputs.
If you are planning a cable design that differs (cross section, material, etc.), please contact
