FAQ

It requires the simultaneous actuation of two push-buttons within a very short time frame (typically under 0.5 seconds) to activate the machine. If one or both buttons are released, the safety outputs open immediately, stopping the hazardous motion.

As a legacy device manufactured in 1999, its safety rating was determined by older standards. For new installations requiring a specific Performance Level (e.g., PLe according to ISO 13849-1), it is highly recommended to use a modern equivalent like the Pilz PNOZsigma series and perform a full risk assessment.

This is the simultaneity monitoring time. It means both push-buttons must be activated within 30 milliseconds of each other for the relay to recognize it as a valid start signal and close its safety outputs.
