Warning:Failure to comply with this warning notice could lead to physical injury and/or damage to the machine.
1.4 Appropriate use
Products in Schmersal's range are not intended to be used by private end consumers.
The products described in these operating instructions are developed to execute safety-related functions as part of
an entire plant or machine. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of a machine or plant to ensure the correct
functionality of the entire machine or plant.
The safety switchgear must be exclusively used in accordance with the versions listed below or for the applications
authorised by the manufacturer. Detailed information regarding the range of applications can be found in the
chapter "Product description".
1.5 General safety instructions
The user must observe the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the country specific installation
standards as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.

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
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 safety outputs when the safety guard is opened and
maintaining the safe switched off condition of the safety outputs for as long as the safety guard is open.
F
The safety switchgears are classified according to ISO 14119 as type 4 interlocking devices. Designs with individual coding are classified
as highly coded.
Safety sensors and actuators with latching (ordering suffix 'R') always must 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 diagnostic output of the safety sensor alternatively can be used as a conventional output or as a “serial output“
with input and output channel.
Series-wiring
Series-wiring can be set up. In the case of a series connection, the risk time remains unchanged and the reaction
time increases by the sum of the reaction time of the inputs per additional unit specified in the technical data. The
quantity of devices is only limited by the cable drops and the external cable fuse protection, according to the
technical data. Up to 31 device variants with serial diagnostics can be wired in series.
2The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in accordance with the relevant standards and the required safety
level. If multiple safety sensors are involved in the same safety function, the PFH values of the individual components must
be added.
2The 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
2In 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.
2.5 Exclusion of liability
We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from defective mounting or failure to comply
with the operating instructions manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resulting from the
use of unauthorised spare parts or accessories.
For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary repairs, conversions and modifications to the
device are strictly forbidden, the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resulting from such invasive
work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or modifications to the device.

4 Mounting
4.1 General mounting instructions
2Please observe the relevant requirements of the standards ISO 12100, ISO 14119 and ISO 14120.
Ensure the safety sensor and actuator is mounted on a flat surface. The component can be mounted in any position.
The universal mounting holes provide for a variable mounting by means of M4 screws. Mounting: a screw length of
25 mm is sufficient for sensor mounting and for side mounting of the actuators. 30 mm long screws are
recommended when the actuator is mounted upright and/or when the sealing discs are used. (Tightening torque
2,2...2,5 Nm). The labelled surfaces of the safety sensor and the actuator have to be opposite. The safety sensor

must only be used within the assured switching distances ≤ sao and ≥ sar.
To avoid any interference inherent to this kind of system and any reduction 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 100 mm between two safety sensors as well as other systems with same frequency (125
kHz)
2The actuator must be permanently fitted to the safety guards and protected against displacement by suitable measures
(tamperproof screws, gluing, drilling of the screw heads).
