Instruction Manual

System Installation

The systems in either scenario do not inherently comply with

the safety standard requirements of detecting single faults

and preventing the next cycle. In multiple-guard systems

using series-connected safety switches, it is important to

periodically check the functional integrity of each interlocked

guard individually. Operators, maintenance personnel, and

others associated with the operation of the machine must

be trained to recognize such failures and be instructed to

correct them immediately.
Open and close each safeguard separately while verifying that

the Module outputs operate correctly throughout the check

procedure. Follow each safeguard closure with a manual reset, if

needed. If a contact set fails, the Module will not enable its reset

function. If the Module does not reset, a switch may have failed;

that switch must be immediately replaced.
This check must be performed and all faults must be cleared, at

a minimum, during periodic checkouts. If the application can

not exclude these types of failures and such a failure could

result in serious injury or death, then the series connection

of safety switches must not be used.

Category 2

A single-channel interlocked guard application typically provides

a category 2 level of circuit performance, because a short circuit

could cause the loss of the safety function. The principle of fault

exclusion must be incorporated into the design and installation

to either eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable (minimal) level of

risk, the possibility of undetected faults or failures that can result

in the loss of the safety function.
