2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the ordering code, these
specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to the
standard version.
2.3 Purpose
The safety switches with separate actuator are suitable for sliding, hinged
and removable safety guards, which need to be closed in order to ensure the
necessary operational safety.
The safety switches are used for applications, in which the hazardous
situation is terminated without delay when the safety guard is opened.
When the safety guard is opened, the NC contacts are positively opened and the
NO contacts are closed.
The safety switchgear units are classified as type 2 interlocking devices in
accordance with EN ISO 14119 and are rated as highly coded.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in accordance with the
relevant standards and the required safety level.
The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety component is
integrated, must be validated to the relevant standards.
2.4 Warning about misuse
In case of improper use or manipulation of the safety switchgear, personal
hazards or damages to machinery or plant components cannot be excluded. There
are no residual risks, provided that the safety instructions as well as the
instructions regarding mounting, commissioning, operation and maintenance are
observed.

With 2-channel usage with fault exclusion mechanism (if a fault exclusion to
the 1-channel mechanics is authorised) and suitable logic applicable up to
Cat. 3 / PL d
(Determined values can vary depending on the application-specific parameters
hop, dop and tcycle as well as the load.)
If multiple safety components are wired in series, the Performance Level to EN
ISO 13849-1 will be reduced due to the restricted error detection under
certain circumstances.
Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
Please observe the remarks of the standards EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 14119 and
EN ISO 14120.
The mounting position however must be chosen so that the ingress of dirt and
soiling in the used opening is avoided.
Use the supplied base plate for the fixing. The tightening torque of the
fixing screws must not exceed 150 Ncm. The enclosure must not be used as an
end stop. Any position is possible. The mounting position however must be
chosen so that the ingress of dirt and soiling in the used opening is avoided.
The unused opening must be sealed by means of slot sealing plugs.
3.2 Mounting of the actuator
The marks on the used actuator opening of the solenoid interlock and on the
actuator must be opposite.
The actuator must be
permanently fitted to the safety guards and protected against displacement by
suitable measures (tamperproof screws, gluing, drilling of the screw heads).
Please observe that, when fixing the switch e.g. by means of rivetting or
welding, the insertion depth of the actuator is not modified. Different
actuator forms are available. The actuators B1 and B5 are preferably used for
sliding and removable safety guards. For hinged guards, the B6R and B6L
actuators.
Actuator B6L / B6R
When the switch is fitted on a hinged safety guard, please ensure that the
point of rotation is located within the range of the upper surface of the
safety switch, in which the actuator hook is inserted (refer to
table).
The axis of the hinge must bed mm above and in a parallel plane to the top
surface of the safety switch. The basis setting provides a minimum radius of R
min.
The B6L or B6R actuators are set to the smallest radius in factory. To
increase the radius, the setting screws a + b must be turned by means of a
hexagonal key A/F 2.0 mm.

Electrical connection
4.1 General information for electrical connection
The electrical connection may only be carried out by authorised personnel in
a de-energised condition.
The contact labelling can be found in the wiring compartment of the switch.
Appropriate cable glands with a suitable degree of protection are to be used.
IDC method of termination
The IDC method of termination (cut clamp technology) enables connecting
flexible wires with cable section 0.75 … 1 mm² without using conductor
ferrules. To this effect, strip the wire for 17 … 20 mm and insert it into the
cable gland, close the cable gland, push the conductors in the groove of the
cover (refer to wiring example) and screw the cover back. Alternatingly
tighten the cover screws uniformly. Tightening force for the Torx T10 cover
screws 0.7 … 1 Nm.
4.2 Contact Options
Contacts are shown with safety guard closed. All NC contacts have positive
break .

Set-up and maintenance
The safety function of the safety components must be tested. In the case of correct installation and adequate use, the safety switchgear features maintenance-free functionality. A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following steps, is recommended:
- Check for correct installation of the actuator and the switch
- Check the integrity of the cable entry and connections
- Check the switch enclosure for damages
- Remove particles of dust and soiling
Adequate measures must be taken to ensure protection against tampering either
to prevent tampering of the safety guard, for instance by means of replacement
actuators.
Damaged or defective components must be replaced.
Disassembly and disposal
6.1 Disassembly
The safety switchgear must be disassembled in a de-energised condition only.
6.2 Disposal
The safety switchgear must be disposed of in an appropriate manner in
accordance with the national prescriptions and legislations.
