KR C4 compact
Mode selector
switch
The user can change the operating mode via the connection manager. The
connection manager is a view that is called by means of the mode selector
switch on the smartPAD.
The mode selector switch may be one of the following variants:
 With key
It is only possible to change operating mode if the key is inserted.
 Without key
The system integrator is responsible for ensuring that such a device is imple-
mented.
5.5.4 “Operator safety” signal
The “operator safety” signal is used for monitoring physical safeguards, e.g.
safety gates. Automatic operation is not possible without this signal. In the
event of a loss of signal during automatic operation (e.g. safety gate is
opened), the manipulator stops with a safety stop 1.
Operator safety is not active in modes T1 (Manual Reduced Velocity) and T2
(Manual High Velocity).

If the smartPAD is fitted with a switch without a key:
An additional device must be present to ensure that the
relevant functions cannot be executed by all users, but only by a restricted
group of people.
The device itself must not trigger motions of the industrial robot or other haz-
ards. If this device is missing, death or severe injuries may result.
