For the autostart mode, a jumper must be connected between the terminals S

and Y1. 
By pulsing the output signal on Y1 the device detects short circuits on starting 

(e.g. static DC 24 V on input S).
  

Connecting safety contacts and feedback loop

Important!

If you do not connect the feedback loop, the downstream devices will not be 
monitored. This situation will affect the safety category of your system.

The unit has four redundant, positively driven safety contacts that switch off im-

mediately if the actuator is removed at one of the connected safety switches or 

if a fault occurs. To check the switching state of a connected load, the auxiliary 

contacts on a contactor or relay can be connected to terminals Y1 and Y2 to form 

a feedback loop (see Figure 6).

The unit detects external short circuits on the feedback loop at the start by pulsing 

the output signal on Y1 (e.g. static DC 24 V on the feedback loop).
