Observing Precautions for Safe Use
Read this for a list of precautions for safe use:
• Wire conductors correctly and verify operation of the module before
commissioning the system in which the module is incorporated,
noting that incorrect wiring may lead to loss of safety function.
• Do not apply DC voltages exceeding rated voltages to the module.
• Apply properly specified voltages to the module inputs. Note that
applying inappropriate voltages causes the module to fail to perform
its specified function, which leads to loss of safety functions or
damage to the module.
• Do not use test outputs as safety outputs. Test outputs are not safety
outputs.
• Be sure that qualified personnel confirm installation and conduct test
operations and maintenance after installation of the module.
• Be sure that personnel familiar with machinery where the module is to
be installed conduct and verify installation.
• Do not dismantle, repair, or modify the module. This may lead to loss
of its safety function.
• Use only appropriate components or devices complying with relevant
safety standards corresponding to the required level of safety
categories (safety integrity level). Conformity to requirements of
safety category (safety integrity level) is determined as an entire
system. We recommend you consult a certification body regarding an
assessment of conformity to the required safety level.
• You are responsible for compliance with applicable standards for the
entire system.
• Disconnect the module from the power supply when wiring.
