2 On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
bPlease read this chapter carefully before working with the i110H or with machines
protected by the i110H.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commission‐
ing, use and periodic technical inspections of the safety switches, in particular
•the Machinery Directive,
•the Low Voltage Directive,
•the Work Equipment Directive,
•the safety regulations as well as
•the work safety regulations/safety rules.
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the protective devices are used
are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
Only qualified safety personnel are authorised to mount, install and commission the
safety switch i110H. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who
•have undergone the appropriate technical training
and
•have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
•who have access to these operating instructions.
2.2 Applications of the safety switch
Safety switches of the i110H series are electromechanical safety interlocks.
They are fitted at the hinge point of swivelling guard doors and secure movable safety
guards so that
•the dangerous state of the machine can only be enabled when the safety guard is
closed,
•a STOP signal is generated when the safety guard opens while the machine is
operating.
For the control system this means that
•activation commands leading to dangerous states are allowed to become effective
only when the safety guard is in the protective position and dangerous states must
no longer exist when the safety guard opens.
Before installation of safety switches a risk assessment should be performed.
2.3 Correct use
The i110H safety switch must be used only as defined in section 2.2 “Applications of
the safety switches”.The safety switch must be used only on the machine where it has
been mounted, installed and initialized by qualified safety personnel in accordance with
these operating instructions.
All warranty claims against SICK AG are forfeited in the case of any other use, or
alterations being made to the safety switch, even as part of its mounting or installation.
