General safety notes

Note
Recycling and disposal
Dispose of existing packing material in accordance with applicable regulations or recycle it.
3SK1 safety relays are able to be recycled thanks to a low-pollutant manufacturing process.
For environmentally compatible recycling and disposal of your old device, contact a company
certified for the disposal of electronic waste.
Note
SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061:2005PL e / Cat. 4 in accordance with
EN ISO 13849-1: 2008
3SK1 safety relays are designed in such a way as to allow implementation of applications
up to SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061 and PL e/Kat. 4 in accordance with
EN ISO 13849-1.
Note
Safe state
The basis of the safety function is the definition of the safe state. In the case of safety relays,
this is the "OFF state", i.e. an open contact for sensors or shutdown of the actuators.
Protection against electrically conductive contamination!
The devices must be protected against conductive contamination while taking account of
the ambient conditions. You can achieve this by installing the devices in a control cabinet
with the appropriate degree of protection.
You will find more detailed information in IEC 60529, for example.
