Product Related Information

The equipment described herein must be used in accordance with the application-specific risk analysis that you are to perform along with verification of all applicable standards. Pay attention in conforming to any safety information, different electrical requirements, and normative standards that would apply to your application of the information contained in the present manual and the manuals for associated equipment.

DANGER
	HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when indicated. Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to this unit. Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when indicated.
Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to this unit.
Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
	UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Use appropriate protective devices (functional safety devices) in compliance with local and national standards. Ensure that a risk assessment is conducted and respected according to EN/ISO 12100 during the design of your machine. Install and operate the device only in the intended environment. The equipment must be wired and fused in compliance with local and national regulatory requirements for the rated current and voltage of the particular equipment. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this equipment. Do not connect wires to unused terminals and/or terminals indicated as "No Connection (N.C.)". Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Ensure that the hazard and risk analysis is conducted and respected according to EN/ISO 12100 during the design of your machine.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING
	LOSS OF CONTROL Perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), or equivalent risk analysis, of your application, and apply preventive and detective controls before implementation. Provide a fallback state for undesired control events or sequences. Provide separate or redundant control paths wherever required. Supply appropriate parameters, particularly for limits. Review the implications of transmission delays and take actions to mitigate them. Review the implications of communication link interruptions and take actions to mitigate them. Provide independent paths for control functions (for example, emergency stop, over-limit conditions, and error conditions) according to your risk assessment, and applicable codes and regulations. Apply local accident prevention and safety regulations and guidelines.¹ Test each implementation of a system for proper operation before placing it into service. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
