Geared motor with encoder for safety-relevant applications
For a SIMOGEAR geared motor with encoder for safety-relevant applications, it is crucial that
you observe the operating instructions BA 2730. These operating instructions are valid for the
functionally safe encoders that are mounted onto SIMOGEAR geared motors. The functionally
safe encoders are in compliance with the relevant standards for safety-relevant applications
listed in the declaration of conformity of BA 2730.
The SIMOGEAR geared motor with functionally safe encoder has a signal yellow marking on
the fan cover. Marking SI04 for the functionally safe encoder is stamped on the rating plate.
The safety level is marked on the functionally safe encoder.
