4.1 Start/restart interlock RES
After accessing the protective field, the start/restart interlock ensures that the safety sensor remains in the
OFF state after the protective field has been cleared. It prevents automatic release of the safety circuits
and automatic start-up of the system, e.g. if the protective field is again clear or if an interruption in the volt-
age supply is restored.
NOTICE
For access guarding, the start/restart interlock function is mandatory. The protective device may
only be operated without start/restart interlock in certain exceptional cases and under certain
conditions acc. to ENISO12100.
WARNING
Deactivation of the start/restart interlock may result in serious injury!
Ä Implement the start/restart interlock on the machine or in a downstream safety circuit.
Using start/restart interlock
Ä Wire the MLC520 receiver appropriately for the desired operating mode (see chapter 7 "Electrical con-
nection")
The start/restart interlock function is automatically activated.
Switching the safety sensor back on after shutting down (OFF state):
Ä Press the reset button (press/release between 0.1s and 4s)
NOTICE
The reset button must be located outside the danger zone in a safe place and give the operator
a good view of the danger zone so that he/she can check whether anyone is located in it before
pressing the reset button.
DANGER
Risk of death if start/restart is operated unintentionally!
Ä Ensure that the reset button for unlocking the start/restart interlock cannot be reached from
the danger zone.
Ä Before unlocking the start/restart interlock, make certain that no people are in the danger
zone.
After the reset button has been actuated, the safety sensor switches to the ON state.
