1 . About This Document

1 .1 Function

This operating manual provides all necessary information for the assembly, installation, safe
operation and disassembly of the enabling/operational unit ZEUS. The operating manual must
always be readable and available during the operating life. Read the operating manual carefully
before using the device. Always hand this operating manual over to future owners and users
of the device. Add any supplement received from the manufacturer to the operating manual.

1 .2 Safety instruction for the authorized skilled personnel .

The tasks described in this operating manual may only be carried out by trained skilled
personnel authorized by the plant owner. You must read and understand the operating
manual before starting the ZEUS. Familiarize yourself with the applicable rules and regulations
relating to industrial safety and accident prevention. National and international legislation
apply to assembly, installation and regular technical inspections.

Caution
If the warnings are not observed, faults or malfunctions as well as injury to
persons and/or damage of the machines can occur.

1 .4 Scope of application

The described products are designed to be a part of an overall system or machine for safe-
ty-related applications. They are manually-operated control devices that allow to work in
special operating mode of the machines. The distributor of the plant or machine is responsible
for ensuring the correct overall function of the system.
The enabling/operational unit has to be connected with the machine control in such a
way that it meets the safety requirements of the current circuit acc. to VDI 2854 and/or
EN 775. Under the conditions specified therein, the protection of the movable protection
devices can be canceled by enabling signal. The authorized operating personnel can then
enter the danger zone:
• For workflow inspection
• For maintenance works

1 .5 Attention: Safety instructions

Observe the safety instructions in the operating manual, which are identified by an above
symbol for caution or warning. Follow national installation, safety and accident prevention
regulations. For additional technical information refer to SSP data sheets or visit our website
at www.safety-products.de.
All information is supplied without liability. We reserve the right to make technical mod-
ifications for reasons of improvement. No remaining risks are known, if the safety notes
and instructions regarding assembly, installation, operation and maintenance are followed.

1 .6 Attention: Incorrect use

Danger to persons or damages to parts of machines or installations can arise as a result of
inappropriate or incorrect use or manipulation of the enabling/operational unit.
All safety and accident prevention regulations, such as directives of the Employer's Liability
Insurance Associations, safety-related requirements of the Association of German Engineers
(VDI) (EN ISO 10218-1, VDI 2854), EN 60204, EN 12100, EN ISO 13849, EN 61062, DIN
VDE 0106 Part 100 etc., that apply for the special application have to be followed.
No hazardous states are allowed to start using only the enabling/operational unit. The safety
function of the enabling/operational unit may not be bypassed (bypass of the contacts),
manipulated or otherwise rendered ineffective. The enabling signal must not be simulated
by setting the enabling switch in enabling position (Level 2).
The enabling/operational unit may only be operated by authorized persons, which can
recognize dangerous situations and initiate immediate countermeasures. It is prohibited
to use with the enabling/operational unit spare parts or accessories, which have not been
expressly approved by the manufacturer.
Each person that stays in the danger zone has to carry his own enabling/operational unit. A
completely safety-related system usually consists of several signal units, sensors, evaluation
units and concepts for safe disconnection procedures. The manufacturer of the machine or
plant is responsible for ensuring the correct and safe overall function of the system. Before
each use, the enabling/operational unit has to be checked for any damage and proper
function (see "Commissioning").
The operator is responsible for the integration of the device in the safe overall system.
For this, the overall system has to be validated, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
In case that the simplified procedure is used according to section 6.3 of EN ISO 13849-1:2008,
the Performance Level (PL) can potentially be reduced if several devices are connected in series.
For any remaining residual risks of the enabling/operational unit, the operator has to eval-
uate, record and introduce corresponding safety measures according to MRL 2006/42/EG.
The installation, commissioning, electrical connection and operation may only be carried
out by trained and authorized by the plant owner skilled personnel, which must have read
and understood the operating manual and is familiar with the applicable regulations on
industrial safety and accident prevention.

1 .7 Liability Disclaimer

We accept no liability for damages or operational malfunctions resulting from improper
installation or failure to comply with this operating manual. No other liability is accepted
by the manufacturer for damages resulting from use of spare parts or accessories, which
have not been approved by the manufacturer. Any unauthorized repairs, reconstructions and
modifications are not permitted for safety reasons and rule out liability of the manufacturer
for damages resulting from this.
