Behavior in Case of Supply Voltage Failure   
Failure of the Vs sensor power supply of the EM 4 F-DI/3 F-DO DC24V PROFIsafe is 
indicated by the VsF LED on the F-module. This information is also provided in the module 
(diagnostic entry). Either all channels of the module are passivated or, in the case of 
channel-specific passivation, the relevant channels are passivated. 
In the case of a voltage dip in the external auxiliary voltage, the SF LED lights up, the 
module is passivated.  
With the subsequent supply recovery (level must remain above the specified value for at 
least 1 minute (refer to the technical specifications: voltages, currents, electrical potentials)) 
the SF LED goes out again, the module remains passivated. The SF LED flashes if there are 
no other errors, until the error is acknowledged.
