2.3 Comprehensive quality insurance to 2006/42/EC
Schmersal is a certified company to appendix X of the Machinery Direc-
tive. As a result, Schmersal is entitled to autonomously conduct the
conformity assessment procedure for the products listed in Appendix
IV of the MD without involving a notified body. The EC prototype test
certificates are available upon request or can be downloaded from the
Internet at www.schmersal.com.
2.4 Destination and use
This non-contact, electronic safety sensor is designed for application in
safety circuits and is used for monitoring the position of movable safety
guards. In this application, the safety sensor monitors the position of
hinged, sliding or removable safety guards by means of the coded
electronic actuator.
The safety function consists of safely switching off the code trans-
mission when the safety guard is opened and maintaining the safe
switched off condition for as long as the safety guard is open.
The safety switchgears are classied according to
ISO 14119 as type 4 switching devices.
Designs with individual coding are classied as highly
coded and are labelled with "High Level Code".
An AS-Interface Safety at Work component functions on the basis of an
individual code generator (8 x 4 bit). This safety code is cyclically trans-
mitted over the AS-i network and monitored by a safety monitor.
Safety sensors and actuators with latching (ordering suffix 'R') must
always be used in pairs. The latching force (approx. 18 N) exercised by
the permanent magnet keeps hatches and small guards closed, also in
a de-energised condition.
The system can be used as a door end stop up to 5 kg at 0.25 m/s.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level.

3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
During fitting, the requirements of ISO 14119 must be
observed.
The universal mounting holes provide for a variable mounting by means
of M4 screws. The component can be mounted in any position. The
labelled surfaces of the safety sensor and the actuator have to be oppo-
site. The safety sensor must only be used within the assured switching
distances ≤ sao and ≥ sar.
The safety component and the actuator must be permanently
fitted to the safety guards and protected against displacement
by suitable measures (tamperproof screws, gluing, drilling,
pinning).
To avoid any interference inherent to this kind of system and any reduc-
tion of the switching distances, please observe the following guidelines:
• The presence of metal chips in the vicinity of the sensor is liable to
modify the switching distance.
• Keep away from metal chips.
• Minimum distance between two sensors: 100 mm
Accessories (to be ordered separately)
Sealing kit
• Ordering code 101215048
• 8 plugs and 4 washers
• to seal the mounting holes and as spacer
(approx. 3 mm) to facilitate the cleaning below the mounting surface
• also suitable as tampering protection for the screw fixings.
Kit tamper-proof screws
• 4 x M4x25 incl. washers, ordering code 101217746
• 4 x M4x30 incl. washers, ordering code 101217747

ging). The axial misalignment (y) is max. ± 18 mm.

3.4 Adjustment
The continuous signal of the yellow LED signals the actuator detection; the
flashing of the yellow LED signals that the safety sensor is actuated in the
hysteresis area.
Recommended Adjustment
Align the safety sensor and actuator at a distance of 0.5 x sao.
The correct functionality of both safety channels must be checked by
means of the connected safety-monitoring module.
4. Electrical connection
4.1 General information for electrical connection
The electrical connection may only be carried out by autho-
rised personnel in a de-energised condition.
The connection to the AS-Interface system is realised through an M12
connector. The M12 connector is A-coded. The wiring configuration of
the M12 connector is determined as follows (to EN 50295):
Pin assignment M12 connector

AS-i + spare
5. Functions and configuration
5.1 Programming the slave address
The slave address is programmed through the M12 connector. Any
address from 1 to 31 can be set by means of the AS-i bus master or a
hand-held programming device.
5.2 Configuration of the safety monitor
The RSS36 AS can be configured in the ASIMON configuration soft-
ware with the following monitoring devices (also refer to the ASIMON
manual). (also refer to the ASIMON manual)
Double channel dependent
• Synchronisation time: 0.1 s
• Optionally with startup test
• Optional with local acknowledge
The configuration of the safety monitor must be tested and
confirmed by a qualified and authorised safety expert/safety
engineer.
5.3 Status signal "safety release"
The "safety release" status signal from a Safety at Work slave can be
cyclically queried by the control system through the AS-i master. To
thiseffect, the 4 input bits with the varying SaW code of a Safety at
Work slave are evaluated through an OR operation with 4 inputs in the
control system.
5.4 Actuator teaching / actuator detection
Safety sensors with standard coding are ready to use upon delivery.
Individually coded safety sensors and actuators will require the follow-
ing "teach-in" procedure:
1. Switch the safety sensor's voltage supply off and back on.
2. Introduce the actuator in the detection range. The teach-in procedure is
signalled at the safety sensor, red LED on, yellow LED flashes (1 Hz).
3. After 10 seconds, brief cyclic flashes (3 Hz) request the switch-off
of the operating voltage of the safety sensor. (If the voltage is not
switched off within 5 minutes, the safety sensor cancels the "teach-
in" procedure and signals a false actuator by 5 red flashes).
4. After the operating voltage is switched back on, the actuator must be
detected once more in order to activate the taught actuator code. In
this way, the activated code is definitively saved!
For ordering suffix -I1, the thus executed allocation of safety sensor and
actuator is irreversible.
For ordering suffix -I2, the "teach-in" procedure for a new actuator can be
repeated an unlimited number of times . When a new actuator is taught,
the code, which was applicable until that moment, becomes invalid.
Subsequent to that, an enabling inhibit will be active for ten minutes, thus
providing for an increased protection against tampering. The AS-i Duo
LED will flash red/green until the expiration of the time of the enabling in-
hibit and the detection of the new actuator. In case of power failure during
the lapse of time, the 10-minutes tampering protection time will restart.
Actuator detection (AD)
Device with actuator detection (AD) can emit the number of especially
coded actuators through the parameter port.
In this way, a non-safe identification of the actuator is possible.
Through the 4 bits of the parameter port, the actuators with the num-
bers 01 - 15 can be detected and transmitted to the control.
If no actuator is detected, a 0 will be emitted.
Safety sensors and actuators with actuator detection must always be
used in pairs.

6. Diagnostic
6.1 LED indications
The LED's have the following meaning (to EN 50295):
LED green-red
(AS-i Duo LED):
AS-Interface supply voltage /
AS-Interface communication error /
Slave address = 0 /
Periphery error detected /
Enabling inhibit (tamper protection time) active
Red LED: Internal device error
Yellow LED: Device condition (enabling status) /
hysteresis signal
6.2 Error
Errors, which no longer guarantee the safe functionality of the RSS36
AS electromagnetic interlock, cause the safety outputs to be switched
off and are signaled through a flashing pattern of the red LED. (see
table 2)
After fault rectification, the error message can be reset by opening and
closing the relevant guard door. The safety outputs of the safety monitor
can be switched back on, thus enabling the machine.
6.3 Diagnostic information
Table 1: Diagnostic information of the RSS36 AS safety switchgear
The safety switch signals the operational state as well as errors through three coloured LED’s installed on the device.

6.4 Diagnostic signal periphery error
All error messages of the safety switchgear are also transmitted as a
"periphery error" to the control system through the AS-i master.
A "periphery error" (FID input of the AS-i chip) is signaled by the alter-
nating red and green flashing of the AS-i duo LED on the AS-i device.
6.5 Read-out of the parameter port
The parameter port P0 to P3 of an AS-i slave can be read out through
the control interface of the AS-i master (see component description) by
means of the "Write parameter" instruction (with hexadecimal value F).
This (non-safe) diagnostic information from the reflected parameters or
the answer to a "Write parameter instruction" can be used by the user
for diagnostic purposes or for the control programme.
