General safety instructions
Safety switches fulfill personal protection functions. Incorrect installation or tam-
pering can lead to fatal injuries to personnel.
Check the safe function of the safety guard particularly
Ì after any setup work
Ì each time after the replacement of an ESL module
Ì after an extended period without use
Ì after every fault
Independent of these checks, the safe function of the safety guard should be
checked at suitable intervals as part of the maintenance schedule.
Warning!
Danger of fatal injury in the event of incorrect connection 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 may be triggered only by the handle module ESL-H...
designated for this purpose.
The device is only allowed to be installed and placed in operation by authorized
personnel
Ì who are familiar with the correct handling of safety components
Ì who are familiar with the applicable EMC regulations
Ì who are familiar with the applicable regulations on health and safety and ac-
cident prevention
Ì who have read and understood the operating instructions.

Function
Together with a handle module, the interlocking module makes it possible to inter-
lock movable safety guards. The combination also serves as a mechanical door
stop at the same time.
The interlocking module detects the position of the closure and thereby the position
of the safety guard.
