T
he machine must switch to the safe state at any time if at least one of the two
OSSDs switches to the OFF state.

Prevent the formation of a potential difference between the load and the protec‐
tive device. If you connect loads to the OSSDs (safety outputs) that then also
switch if controlled with negative voltage (e.g., electro-mechanical contactor with‐
out reverse polarity protection diode), you must connect the 0 V connections of
these loads and those of the corresponding protective device individually and
directly to the same 0 V terminal strip. In the event of a fault, this is the only way to
ensure that there can be no potential difference between the 0 V connections of
the loads and those of the corresponding protective device.

In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
Downstream contactors must be positively guided and monitored depending on appli‐
cable national regulations or required reliability of the safety function.

Make sure that downstream contactors are monitored (external device monitoring,
EDM).

Bec
ause the safety light curtain does not have integrated external device monitor‐
ing, this must be implemented in the external control, if required.
