Refer to EN 61496-1 and EN 60947-5-3 when configuring, setting up

and operating the muting device.

Refer to EN 999 with regard to the positioning of the AOPD.

Measures must be taken to exclude common cause failures, e.g. by

the use of non-equivalent signals or diverse sensors.

Muting switches should be positioned so that it is impossible for a

person to trigger the muting function.

The vehicle should be designed to make it impossible for people to

ride on it.

Limit the size of the entry area by applying appropriate safety meas-

ures. People must not be able to enter the danger zone during the

muting phase.

If various transport speeds are being used, consider the total duration

of the muting phase.

Remember that a new muting phase can only be introduced once the

previous phase has been completed.

Maintenance gates should be provided if you secure equipment

through muting.

Please note that if the maintenance gates are opened, the plant ab-

solutely must be brought to a standstill in accordance with the risk

classification.

Use of muting sensors with contacts: Supply the contacts of the mut-

ing sensors via test pulse outputs (test pulses).

Use of ESPE as muting sensors: Test pulses cannot be used. For this

reason, be sure to use a N/O contact as sensor 1 and a N/C contact

as sensor 2 for fault detection (shorts across contacts).

Laying the connection cable to the sensors in a way that is protected

against shorts (i.e. separate) may provide an alternative to non-equiv-

alent sensors.

WARNING!

The following information must be heeded! Failure to comply

with these guidelines could result in serious injury or death.
