Notes
• For teach-in a reset button must be connected to the
SafeShield safety light curtain (see “Reset Button” on 
page 28).
• If you connect a teach-in switch to the SafeShield safety
light curtain, then you can no longer use the emergency 
stop function in the SafeShield safety light curtain.
• If you use a SafeShield function module then you can also
connect the teach-in key-operated switch to the 
switching amplifier.
➢ Ensure that only authorized persons have access to the
teach-in key.

Emergency Stop
The emergency stop input has two channels. The emergency stop 
monitoring in the device corresponds to stop category 0 in 
accordance with EN 418. Switch off at the emergency stop input 
(see “Emergency Stop” on page 29) has the same effect as reaching 
into the protective field. You can connect the emergency stop input 
e.g. to a door switch.

You can design the two-channel button as equivalent (N/C, N/C) or 
complementary (N/O, N/C). You must configure the SafeShield 
safety light curtain as appropriate with the aid of the SCD. If the 
configuration and the electrical connection do not match, the 
system locks completely (lock-out). The 7-segment display will then 
show the error message
.

ATTENTION: Device configuration 
after replacement!
If you replace a safety light curtain with the 
emergency stop function active, then you 
must transfer the configuration to the device 
again. It is not sufficient to make the 
electrical connections, because new devices 
are supplied ex factory with deactivated 
Emergency stop function.
