Notes
• The plug alignment (direction of turn) in the housing
may vary from device to device. You can identify the 
correct pin assignment by the position of the pins in 
relation to each other as shown in the drawings.
• If you do not connect any further safety light curtain to
an extension connection, then you must also not 
connect any cable to pins 9 and 10.
➢ If the extension connection is no longer required,
always screw the attached protective cap over the 
extension connection.
External Device Monitoring (EDM)
The EDM checks if the contactors actually de-energize when the 
protective device responds. If, after an attempted reset, the EDM 
does not detect a response from the switched device within 300ms, 
the EDM will deactivate the OSSD switching outputs again.
Figure 30: Connecting the contact elements to the EDM
You must implement the external device monitoring electrically by 
the positive closing action of both N/C contacts (k1, k2) when the 
contact elements (K1, K2) reach their de-energized position after 
the protective device has responded. 24V is then applied at the 
input of the EDM. If 24V is not present after the response of the 
protective device, then one of the contact elements is faulty and 
the external device monitoring prevents the machine starting up 
again.
Notes
• If you connect the contact elements to be monitored to
the EDM input, then you must activate the option EDM 
in the SCD software. If not, the device will show the 
error .
• If you later deselect the EDM option, pin 6 of the
system plug must not remain connected to 24V.
Reset Button
In the protective operation mode with internal restart interlock 
(see page 11) the operator must first press the reset button before 
restarting.

Recommendation
You can reduce the wiring effort by connecting the reset button 
directly to the spare extension connection on the receiver. In a 
cascaded system this is the extension connection on the last 
receiver.

Reset Required
Pin 8 of the extension connection is the output “Reset required” 
(24V). You can connect a signal lamp here to indicate this status. 
The output has a frequency of 1Hz.
ATTENTION: Select the correct 
installation site for the reset button!
Install the reset button outside the 
hazardous area such that it cannot be 
operated from inside the hazardous area. 
When operating the reset button, the 
operator must have full visual command of 
the hazardous area.

As an alternative the 
connection can be made 
at the same pins on the 
system connection.
ATTENTION: Device configuration 
after replacement!
If you replace a safety light curtain with 
active reset function with a replacement 
unit, the reset function must again be 
activated via the software. It is not sufficient 
to make the electrical connections, because 
new devices are supplied ex factory with 
deactivated reset function.
