Honeywell GSS Series GSAA01A1B General Purpose Safety Switches

Installation Instructions for the Global Safety Limit Switch (GSS Series)

WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION

  • Consult with local safety agencies and their requirements when designing a machine-control link, interface, and all control elements that affect safety.
  • Strictly adhere to all installation instructions.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

MOUNT, WIRE AND SEAL SWITCH

WARNING
IMPROPER OPERATION

  • Ensure switch actuator achieves sufficient travel for positive opening of normally closed (NC) contacts to occur.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

  1. Refer to:
    • Page 3 for adjustments.
    • Page 4 for EN 50041 wiring configurations for each switch code.(Ag=silver contacts, Au=gold-plated contacts)
    • Pages 5 and 6 for specific travel distances for each switch code, and specifications.
    • Page 7 proper application of limit switches, and switch mounting dimensions.
  2. Perform adjustments (if desired):
    • Head orientation (Figure 1).
    • Actuation direction (Figure 2).
    • Side rotary switches with 90° positive drive levers (catalog listings ending in A1A, A1B, A5A, A5B) (Figure 3):
    • Ensure flats of switch shaft engage groove in actuator lever.
    • Tighten locking screw (A) until tab (B) no longer moves.
  3. Mount switch using four M5 or #10 screws. Torque screws to 4,9 Nm to 5,9 Nm [43 in-lb to 52 in-lb].
  4. Remove screws on cover plate.
  5. Connect stranded wire (0,75 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, 18-14 AWG) or solid wire (0,75 mm2 to 1,5 mm2, 18-16 AWG) to connector terminals (use 90 °C wire when ambient temperature is over 75 °C). Torque switch terminal screws to 0,8 Nm to 1,0 Nm [7 in-lb to 9 in-lb].
  6. Seal conduit opening according to instructions in PK 80112.
  7. Reassemble cover plate, and torque cover screws to 0,5 Nm [4.4 in-lb].
