Start, automatic: After request of a safety function, the safety relay is restarted automatically. This operation mode is only admissible under special conditions, for example:
· if no danger due to unexpected restart exists,
· if a reset is made from a different location (with at least safety category 1 according to EN ISO 13849-1).
This operation mode is not admissible, for example:
· for emergency off/emergency stop command units
· for accessible rooms etc.
Other terms customary in the market are automatic start and auto start.
