General information Checking the safety functions of Vital 1 is normally easy to perform at a machine where Vital 1 is in operation. Do not disconnect the VITAL 1 for testing. This should only take a few minutes. The normal check is performed by using the safety devices connected to Vital 1 to verify that the safety functions are working properly.
4 ) Detach the Vital 1 unit from the 35 mm DIN rail using a screwdriver as shown in the pictures below. First use the screwdriver to pull back the white latch at the bottom of the unit, then turn the unit forward from the top to detach it from the DIN rail.
