In the machine controller, both signals from an OSSD pair must be processed
separately.

The machine must switch to the safe state if, at any time, at least one OSSD in an
OSSD pair switches to the OFF state.
•
Only one OSSD pair can be used in each safety function.
•
Prevent the formation of a potential difference between the load and the protec‐
tive device. If you connect loads to the OSSDs (safety outputs) that then also
switch if controlled with negative voltage (e.g., electro-mechanical contactor with‐
out reverse polarity protection diode), you must connect the 0 V connections of
these loads and those of the corresponding protective device individually and
directly to the same 0 V terminal strip. In the event of a fault, this is the only way to
ensure that there can be no potential difference between the 0 V connections of
the loads and those of the corresponding protective device.

DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
Downstream contactors must be positively guided and monitored depending on appli‐
cable national regulations or required reliability of the safety function.
b
Make sure that downstream contactors are monitored (external device monitoring,
EDM).
•
Each OSSD pair in the safety laser scanner is equipped with an internal EDM.
