4 General safety instructions
Safety switches fulfill personal protection functions. Incorrect installation or tamper-
ing can lead to fatal injuries to personnel.
Check the safe function of the safety guard particularly
Ì
after any setup work
Ì
after the replacement of an MGB component
Ì
after an extended period without use
Ì
after every fault
Ì
after any change to the DIPswitch setting
Independent of these checks, the safe function of the safety guard should be
checked at suitable intervals as part of the maintenance schedule.
Warning!
Loss of safety function in the event of incorrect connection, incorrect DIPswitch
setting or incorrect use.
Ì
Safety switches must not be bypassed (bridging of contacts), turned away,
removed or otherwise rendered ineffective.
On this topic pay attention in particular to the measures for reducing the pos-
sibility of bypassing from EN 1088:1995+A2:2008, Section 5.7.

The switching operation is only allowed to be triggered by the intended han-
