3-error safety Explanation: cf. explanation in link below - the device does an error-triggered procedure after 3 errors (as opp. to after 1 error = 1-Fehlersicherheit) although I can't find the actual translation for this term, I am relatively sure that "Fehler" is to be interpreted in the sense of "error" (statistically treated aberration) and Sicherheit in the sense of "safety" since the whole concept is a safety feature, as opp. to security or confidence...
