8.5  STO Safety Warnings & Limitations 
 
Ignoring the following may result in serious 
 
 
•  Only competent personnel are permitted to install the STO function 
and commission it. They must disseminate and make available all 
appropriate instructions and documentation to all personnel who may 
come into contact with or operate the STO and provide suitable 
training on the inverter to ensure it is operated in the correct manner 
and to avoid damage, injury or loss of life. 
Personnel with many years of experience in the field of machine safety 
with inverters is expected. 
Planning, installation and initial system commissioning requires a 
detailed understanding in this area. 
•  Standards and accident prevention regulation associated with the 
application must be known and respected as well as risks, protective 
and emergency measures. 
•  We assume that these specialists have a good knowledge of English. 
In the case of deviating regulations (in particular work by persons who 
do not speak English), the machine manufacturer must provide these 
persons with the necessary information in the national language.
