the electrical connection and attachment of external EMERGENCY-STOP switches,
●
the housing of the robot by separating protective equipment and
●
the electrical connection and attachment of the door contact pushbutton.
A function test at a reduced speed of (T1) maximum 250mm/s can be carried out in "Manual" oper-
ating mode with the keyswitch in the "Manual" position. This test can be carried out with the protec-
