WARNING 
 
Before acknowledging the short-circuit diagnosis, remedy the respective error and validate 
your safety function. To do this, proceed as described in chapter "
Fault Diagnostics 
(Page 
43)".

case 
Check load wiring, check ambient 
temperature, check whether permissible 
output current is exceeded for the 
ambient temperature. Once the fault has 
been eliminated, the module must be 
removed and inserted or the power 
switched off and on.
