Zusammenfassung:A safety switching apparatus for switching-on or switching-off a technical installation has a first input for receiving a first clock signal via a feed line, said first clock signal having a first clock frequency. A failsafe control/evaluation unit processes the first clock signal in a failsafe manner in order to generate an output signal for switching-on or switching-off the technical installation in response to the first clock signal. A clock reference provides a second clock signal having a second clock frequency. A current-increasing circuit having a switching element is arranged for selectively increasing an input current into the first input. The switching element is coupled to the clock reference and selectively activates or deactivates the current-increasing circuit in response to the second clock frequency.
