Commissioning and regular
tests
Commissioning requires a thorough check by
qualified safety personnel!
Before you operate a system protected by the
safety relay for the first time, make sure that the
system is first checked and released by qualified
safety personnel.
Please read the notes in chapter 2 "On safety".
Observe the relevant laws and national
regulations.
Check the hazardous area!
Ensure there is nobody in the hazardous area
before commissioning.
Secure the hazardous area against entry.
Regular inspection of the protective devices by qualified
safety personnel
Check the system following the inspection intervals
specified in the national rules and regulations.
– Each safety application must be checked at an interval
specified by you.
– The effectiveness of the protective devices must be
checked daily by a specialist or by authorised
