Function
The SafeZone Mini device operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
• The control of the machine, system, or vehicle must be electrical.
• It must be possible to transfer the dangerous machine, system, or vehicle
state to a safe state with the OSSDs on the SafeZone Mini device at any
time, that is before a person has reached the hazardous point or
hazardous area.
