2. Correct use
Safety switches series CTS-C1-BP/BR-FLX are interlocking devices with guard locking solenoid (type4). The device complies
with the requirements according to EN60947-5-3.
The device can be congured with the aid of a function actuator. Depending on the taught-in function actuator, guard lock
monitoring is switched on or off and evaluation of the actuator code has a high or low coding level.
Table 1: System components
Safety switch

The following applies to active guard lock monitoring:
In combination with a movable guard and the machine control, this safety component prevents the guard from
being opened while a dangerous machine function is being performed.
This means:
ÌStarting commands that cause a dangerous machine function must become active only when the guard is closed
and locked.
ÌThe guard locking must not be released until the dangerous machine function has ended.
ÌClosing and locking a guard must not cause automatic starting of a dangerous machine function. A separate
start command must be issued. For exceptions, refer to ENISO12100 or relevant C-standards.
The following applies to inactive guard lock monitoring:
In combination with a movable guard and the machine control, this safety component prevents dangerous machine
functions from occurring while the guard is open. A stop command is triggered if the guard is opened during the
dangerous machine function. With inactive guard lock monitoring, guard locking must be used only for process
protection.
This means:
ÌStarting commands that cause a dangerous machine function must become active only when the guard is closed.
ÌOpening the guard must trigger a stop command.
ÌClosing a guard must not cause automatic starting of a dangerous machine function. A separate start command
must be issued. For exceptions, refer to ENISO12100 or relevant C-standards.
If the evaluation of the actuator code has a high coding level, the following applies:
ÌThe actuator must be assigned to the safety switch by a teach-in operation so that it is detected by the system.
This unambiguous assignment ensures a particularly high level of protection against tampering. The system
thus possesses a high coding level.
If the evaluation of the actuator code has a low coding level, the following applies:
ÌFor evaluation with a low coding level, a specic code is not requested but instead it is only checked whether
the actuator is of a type that can be detected by the system. There is no exact comparison of the actuator code
with the taught-in code in the safety switch. The system possesses a low coding level.

3. Description of the safety function
Devices from this series feature the following safety functions:
3.1. With active guard lock monitoring
Monitoring of guard locking and the position of the guard
(interlocking device with guard locking according to ENISO14119)
ÌSafety function (see chapter 6. Function on page 10):
- The safety outputs are switched off when guard locking is released (monitoring of the locking element).
Important: This applies only if guard lock monitoring is active!
- The safety outputs are switched off when the guard is open (monitoring of the door position).
ÌThe safety functions are ensured only if the actuator is mounted properly (see chapter 8. Mounting on page 15).
ÌSafety characteristics: category, Performance Level, PFHD(see chapter 16. Technical data on page 40).
The following additionally applies in a BR series connection:
ÌThe safety outputs are switched on only when the device receives a corresponding signal from its predecessor in the chain.
NOTICE
You can regard the complete BR device chain as one subsystem during calculation. The following
calculation method applies to the PFHDvalue:
#1
PFHD,1 PFHD,ext
BR-Device #1 ... n External Evaluation
(e.g. PLC)
PFHDges =∑ PFHD,k + PFHd,ext

Alternatively, the simplied method according to section 6.3 of ENISO13849-1:2015can be used
for calculation.
Control of guard locking
If the device is used as guard locking for personnel protection, control of guard locking must be regarded as a
safety function.
The device does not feature a safety characteristic for control of guard locking, because the guard locking sole-
noid is completely disconnected from outside the device (no control function within the device). It therefore does
not contribute to the failure probability.
The safety level for control of guard locking is dened only by the external control (e.g. PFHD, ext. for the standstill
monitor).

6. Function
The device monitors the position of movable guards and can enable locking of movable guards.
The system consists of the following components: coded actuator (transponder) and switch.
The coding level of the system depends on the conguration of the device (see chapter 13.1.
Conguring device and teaching-in actuator for the rst time on page 32).
When the guard is closed, the actuator is moved into the safety switch. When the operating
distances are reached, power is supplied to the actuator by the switch and data are transferred.
The door position1 signal OD is set if a permissible code is detected. Guard locking is activated
automatically when no voltage is present at the guard locking solenoid. The switching conditions for the safety outputs
depend on the conguration of guard lock monitoring (see chapter 6.4. Switching states on page 12).
If there is a fault in the safety switch, the safety outputs are switched off and the DIA LED illuminates or ashes red (see
chapter 15.3. Error messages on page 37). The occurrence of faults is detected at the latest on the next demand to
close the safety outputs (e.g.on starting).
6.1. Guard lock monitoring
The device is congured with the aid of the function actuator. Guard lock monitoring is switched on or off depending on the
taught-in function actuator. Further information about the possible settings is available in chapter 13.1. Conguring device
and teaching-in actuator for the rst time on page 32.
The following applies to active guard lock monitoring:
All versions feature two safe outputs for monitoring guard locking. The safety outputs FO1A and FO1B are switched
off and the guard locking signal OL is cleared when guard locking is released.
The following applies to inactive guard lock monitoring:
All versions feature two safe outputs for door position monitoring. The safety outputs FO1A and FO1B are switched
off and the door position1 signal OD is cleared when the guard is opened.
6.2. Monitoring outputs/status bits
Depending on version, the signals listed in the following are available as a status bit or at the monitoring output. The status
bits are evaluated via the BR/IO-Link Gateway. Please refer to the corresponding data sheet for further information.
6.2.1. Guard locking signal OL
The guard locking signal is present if the guard locking is active.
6.2.2. Door position1 signal OD
The door position1 signal is sent as soon as the actuator is inserted into the switch head (state: guard closed and not
locked). The signal is also present if the guard locking is active.

EN
6.2.3. Door position2 signal OT
The door position2 signal is present if the actuator is completely inserted in the switch head and the guard locking can be
activated. In normal ambient conditions, the signal OT is sent after the signal OD as an additional door monitoring contact.
The signal is also present if the guard locking is active (see chapter 6.4. Switching states on page 12).
6.2.4. Diagnostic signal OI
The diagnostic signal is present if there is an error (switch-on condition as for DIA LED).
6.2.5. Escape release signal OER
The escape release signal is present if the device has been released manually or if manual release prevents activation
of guard locking (see chapter 7. Manual release on page 13). The signal is reset when the guard locking control state
matches the guard locking state.
6.2.6. Status signal OM
The status signal is present if the device’s safety outputs are switched.
6.2.7. Locking element signal OLS
The locking element signal is present if the locking element is stuck and guard locking cannot be released. The signal is
reset as soon as the actuator is no longer under tensile stress or the locking element is no longer jammed.
6.2.8. Communication connection C
A monitoring output with the sufx C has the additional function of providing a communication connection to a BR/IO-Link
Gateway. The switch delivers cyclical and acyclical data. You will nd an overview of the communication data in chapter12.
Using communication data on page 29.
If no BR/IO-Link Gateway is connected, this output behaves like a monitoring output.
6.3. Guard locking
(guard locking actuated by spring force and released by power-ON)
Important!
Malfunctions due to incorrect use.
ÌThe actuator must not be under tensile stress during release.
The spring-operated guard locking functions in accordance with the closed-circuit current principle. If the voltage is interrupted
at the solenoid, the guard locking remains active and the guard cannot be opened directly.
Important!
If the guard is open when the power supply is interrupted and is then closed, guard locking is activated.
This can lead to persons being locked in unintentionally.
The actuator cannot be pulled out of the switch and the guard is locked as long as the guard locking pin is extended.
Guard locking cannot be released as long as no electronics operating voltage is present at the device. When electronics
operating voltage is applied to the device and voltage is applied to the guard locking solenoid, the locking pin is retracted
and the actuator is released. The guard can be opened.
Activating guard locking: close guard; no voltage at the solenoid.
Releasing guard locking: apply electronics operating voltage and voltage to the solenoid.

9. Electrical connection
The following connection options are available:
ÌSeparate operation
ÌSeries connection with wiring in the control cabinet
ÌSeries connection with Y-distributors
ÌConnection without IO-Link communication
ÌConnection with IO-Link communication
WARNING
In the event of a fault, loss of the safety function due to incorrect connection.
ÌTo ensure safety, both safety outputs must always be evaluated.
ÌMonitoring outputs must not be used as safety outputs.
ÌLay the connecting cables with protection to prevent short circuits.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to equipment or malfunctions as a result of incorrect connection.
ÌDo not use a control system with pulsing or switch off the pulsing function in your control system.
The device generates its own test pulses on the safety outputs. A downstream control system must
tolerate these test pulses, which may have a length of up to 300µs. Depending on the inertia of the
downstream device (control system, relay, etc.), this can lead to short switching processes. The test
pulses are output only with the safety outputs switched off during device start.
ÌThe inputs on a connected evaluation unit must be positive switching, as the two outputs on the safety
switch deliver a level of +24V in the switched-on state.
ÌAll the electrical connections must either be isolated from the mains supply by a safety transformer
according to IEC 61558-2-6 with limited output voltage in the event of a fault, or by other equivalent
insulation measures (SELV).
ÌAll electrical outputs must have an adequate protective circuit for inductive loads. The outputs must
be protected with a free-wheeling diode for this purpose. RC interference suppression units must
not be used.
ÌPower devices which are a powerful source of interference must be installed in a separate location
away from the input and output circuits for signal processing. The cable routing for safety circuits
should be as far away as possible from the cables of the power circuits.
ÌTo prevent EMC interference, the physical environmental and operating conditions at the installation
site of the device must comply with the requirements according to the standard EN60204-1 (EMC).
ÌPay attention to any interference elds from devices such as frequency converters or induction
heating systems. Observe the EMC instructions in the manuals from the respective manufacturer.
ÌIf the solenoid is operated with a frequency of more than 0.2Hz, the device may react with a delay.
ÌIn devices with IMP/IMM inputs, the power supply for the evaluation electronics is separate from the
power supply for the guard locking solenoid.
If different power supplies are used, they must have the same reference potential.
ÌFor device variants with two connecting cables, both cables must be laid in the same cable duct.
Important!
If the device does not appear to function when the operating voltage is applied (e.g. STATE LED does
not ash), the safety switch must be returned to the manufacturer.

9.1. Notes about
Important!
ÌThis device is intended to be used with a Class 2 power source in accordance with UL1310.
As an alternative an LV/C (Limited Voltage/Current) power source with the following properties can
be used:
This device shall be used with a suitable isolating source in conjunction with a fuse in accordance
to UL248. The fuse shall be rated max. 3.3A and be installed in the max. 30V DC power supply
to the device in order to limit the available current to comply with the UL requirements. Please note
possibly lower connection ratings for your device (refer to the technical data).
ÌFor use and application as per the requirements of UL 1) a connecting cable listed under the UL
category code CYJV/7, min. 24AWG, min. 80°C, must be used.
1) Note on the scope of the UL approval: the devices have been tested as per the requirements of UL508 and CSA/ C22.2 no. 14 (protection against electric shock and re).
9.2. Safety in case of faults
ÌThe operating voltage at UB and the solenoid operating voltage at IMP are reverse polarity protected.
ÌThe safety outputs FO1A/FO1B are short circuit-proof.
ÌA short circuit between the safety outputs is detected on starting or when the safety outputs are activated by the device.
ÌA short circuit in the cable can be excluded by laying the cable with protection.
9.3. Fuse protection for power supply
The power supply must be provided with fuse protection depending on the number of switches and the current required for
the outputs. The following rules apply:
Max. current consumption of an individual switch Imax
Imax UB = IUB_1 + IFO1A+FO1B + IOX1 + IOX2
IUB_1 = Switch operating current (max. 50mA)
IOX = Load current of monitoring output (max. 20mA per monitoring output)
IFO1A+FO1B = Load current of safety outputs FO1A + FO1B (2x max. 80mA)
Imax IMP = Solenoid operating current (max. 500mA)
Max. current consumption of a switch chain ΣImax UB
∑ Imax UB = IFO1A+FO1B + nx(IUB_2 + IOX1 + IOX2)
n = Number of connected switches
IUB_2 = Switch operating current (max. 80mA)
Important!
If there are further monitoring outputs, their load current must be taken into account.
