DANGER!
The safety values for safety outputs of DX581-S (-XC) module are only valid if the parameter Detec-
tion = "On" (internal test of output transistors is active). If the parameter Detection = "Off" then contact
ABB technical support to obtain proper safety values.
DANGER!
The average temperature (MTBF calculation base) for both the extended temperature range (–40 °C
... +70 °C) as well as for standard temperature range (0 °C ... +60 °C) is defined to 40 °C.
Ensure that average operating temperature for used AC500-S modules does not exceed 40 °C.
The detailed safety values for AC500-S Safety modules can be obtained on request.
