General safety notes

Note
SIL 3 to EN 61508:2010
PL e/Cat. 4 per EN ISO 13849-1:2008
The design of the 3RK3 modular safety system allows implementation of applications up to SIL
3 per EN 61508 and PL e/Cat. 4 per EN ISO 13849-1.
Hazardous Voltage
Can Cause Death, Serious Injury, or Property Damage.
Hazardous electrical voltages can cause electric shock, burns and damage.
• Turn off and lock out all power supplying the system and device before working on the
• To ensure protection against the hazard of electric shock when the terminal cover is open,
• Close the terminal covers and always keep them closed during operation.
Risk from Conductive Contamination
Can Cause Death, Serious Injury, or Damage to Property.
The devices must be protected against conductive contamination while taking account of the
ambient conditions. One way you can do this is to install the devices in a control cabinet with
the appropriate degree of protection.
You will find further information in the IEC 60529 standard, "Degrees of protection provided by
enclosures (IP Code)" and in Chapter "Technical data (Page 365)".
