3. Safety
3.1 Safety standard
The AS-I Safety Monitor has been developed, manufactured, tested and submit-
ted for type testing in accordance with the safety standards prevailing at the time
of testing. The safety requirements per Category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1
and Performance Level “e” in accordance with EN ISO 13 849-1 are met by all
devices.
Following a risk analysis you can sue the AS-I Safety Monitor in accordance with
its safety category as a shut-down protection device for protecting hazardous are-
as.
3.2 Intended use
3.2.1 Conditions of use
The AS-I Safety Monitor has been developed as a shut-down protection device
for protecting hazardous areas on powered equipment.
3.2.2 Residual risks (EN 292-1)
The circuits suggested in this Manual have been tested and verified with the
greatest care. The prevailing standards and regulations are met when using the
components and wiring shown. Residual risks remain if:
• There are any deviations from the suggested wiring concept which may result
in the connected safety-relevant assemblies or protective devices not being
incorporated or only insufficiently incorporated into the safety circuit.
• The operator does not follow the prevailing safety regulations for operation,
setting and maintenance of the machine. Machine inspection and mainte-
nance intervals must be strictly observed.
3.2.3 Areas of application
The AS-I Safety Monitor, when properly used, enables the operation of sensor-
controlled personal protection equipment and additional safety components.
