In accordance with the Machinery Directive, the type
plate of safety components is type plate is labelled "safety
component".
Only if the information described in this operating instructions
manual are realised correctly, the safety function and
therefore the compliance with the Machinery Directive and
the Explosion Protection Directive is maintained.
2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Purpose
The safety switches are suitable for hinged or sliding guards, which
need to be closed in order to provide for the necessary operational
safety. The components can be used in explosion-endangered areas
of Zone 2 and 22 equipment category 3GD. The installation and
maintenance requirements to the standard series EN 60079 must
be met.
Conditions for safe operation
Due to the specific impact energy, the components must be fitted
with a protection against mechanical stresses. The specific ambient
temperature range must be observed. The user must provide for a
protection against the permanent influence of UV rays.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level.
