Additional Information: Design of the factory-supplied Front Panel E-Stop is in
accordance with the requirements of IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13849.
IMPORTANT: If the Front Panel high power ON / OFF lamp (part number
27400-29006) fails, you might incorrectly assume that High Power is OFF and
the robot is safe. To prevent this, a failed lamp causes an error (-924) *Front
panel HIGH POWER lamp failure* and locks out the High Power enabling until
you replace the lamp. Refer to the eV+3 User's Manual (Cat. No. I651) for more
information about error handling. Refer to Change Front Panel High-Power ON
Lamp on page 126 for more information about lamp replacement.
