Safety
Before using the Safety Switch, a risk evaluation must be performed according to
valid standards (e.g. EN ISO 12100-1, EN ISO 13849-1, EN ISO 14121). For
mounting, operating and testing, document "Safe implementation and operation
of the S20" as well as all applicable national and international standards, regula-
tions, rules and directives must be observed (e.g. machinery directive, low-voltage
directive, work-equipment directive, safety regulations, accident-prevention regu-
lations, EN 1088, EN ISO 13849-1, EN 60204-1, EN 954-1). Observe and print
out relevant and supplied documents and distribute to the affected personnel.
Before beginning work with the Safety Switch, completely read and understand
the documents applicable to the respective task.
The following standards apply for the risk evaluation at the protective device prior
to using the Safety Switch:
• EN ISO 14121, Safety of machinery, risk evaluation
• EN ISO 12100-1, Safety of machinery
• EN ISO 13849-1, Safety-related parts of control systems
The realizable category of the integration in control circuits according to
EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 954-1 is dependent on the used contact block and
wiring.
In particular, the following national and international legal regulations apply for the
start-up, technical inspections and work with Safety Switch:
• Machinery directive 2006/42/EC
• Low voltage directive 2006/95/EC
• Use of work equipment directive 89/655 EEC
• Safety regulations
• Accident-prevention regulations and safety rules
2.1
Proper use
To ensure proper personnel protection, the Safety Switch must be mounted,
connected and started-up by trained personnel. It must be in perfect condition and
inspected regularly. The switching process must only be triggered by an actuator
approved for this Safety Switch that is connected to the moveable guard in a non-
detachable and tamperproof manner.
The rules and regulations for protection and safety at work and the recognised
safety-related rules and regulations must be observed. These include:
• EN 1088, Interlocking devices associated with guards
• EN ISO 13849-1, Safety-related parts of control systems
• EN 60204-1, Electrical equipment of machines
