2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Destination and use
Safety switches with separate actuators AZ 17 are suitable for move-
able safety guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary
operational security.
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 switchgears are classified according to
ISO 14119 as type 2 switching devices.
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.

3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
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
mounting position. 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.
Mounting of the actuators: See mounting instructions actuators.
Please observe the remarks of the standards ISO 12100,
EN 953 and ISO 14119.

5. Set-up and maintenance
5.1 Functional testing
The safety function of the safety components must be tested. The
following conditions must be previously checked and met:
1. Check for correct installation of the actuator and the switch
2. Check the integrity of the cable entry and connections
3. Check the switch enclosure for damage
5.2 Maintenance
In case of correct installation in accordance with the instructions
described above, the component requires little maintenance. For use in
extreme conditions, we recommend routine maintenance including the
following steps:
1. Check for correct installation of the actuator and the switch
2. Remove particles of dust and soiling
3. Check cable entry and connections
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.
6. 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.
