2 Safety precautions
The Electronic-Key adapter must only be employed and used in accordance with this manual.
The Electronic-Key adapter is typically operated as part of a higher-level overall system,
e. g. a machine installation.
When designing machines and using the Electronic-Key adapter, the national and international safety
and accident prevention regulations specific to the application must be observed, e.g.:
EN 60204, Safety of machinery. Electrical equipment of machines
EN 292, Safety of machinery. Basic concepts, general principles for design
EN 954, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems. General principles for design
The Electronic-Key adapter is not a safety component in the context of the machinery directive.
Without additional precautions the EKS Electronic-Key adapter must not be used to provide a safety
function, particularly if failure or malfunction of the unit could endanger the safety or health of persons
in the operating area of a machine.
The organization operating the overall higher-level system is responsible for conformity with the
national and international safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to the special
application.
Mounting and electrical connection must be performed only by authorized personnel.
For use and operation as per the requirements, a power supply for use in class 2 circuits must
be used.
Modifications to the electronics of the Electronic-Key adapter and any other changes, especially
