1.6 Warning about misuse
In case of improper use or manipulation of the safety switch-
gear, personal hazards or damages to machinery or plant
components cannot be excluded. The relevant requirements
of the standard ISO 14119 must be observed.
1.7 Exclusion of liability
We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from
defective mounting or failure to comply with this 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.

manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefo-
re the compliance with the Machinery Directive is maintained.
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 Comprehensive quality insurance to 2006/42/EC
Schmersal is a certified company to appendix X of the Machinery
Directive. 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 prototype
test certificates are available upon request or can be downloaded from
the Internet at www.schmersal.com.
2.4 Purpose
The non-contact, electronic safety switchgear is designed for
application in safety circuits and is used for monitoring the position of
movable safety guards. The integrated door detection sensor monitors
the closed condition of the safety guard, the sensor of the actuator
monitors the actuator position.
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.
The opening of the safety guard is detected by the safety sensors.
The safety switchgears are classified according to
ISO 14119 as type 4 interlocking devices.
Series-wiring
Series-wiring can be set up for devices AZ 200...-1P2P. Response
and risk times remain unchanged by series-wiring. The number of
components is only limited by the external cable protection according to
the technical data and the line loss. Series-wiring of up to 31
AZ200…-SD components with serial diagnostics is possible. In devices
with the serial diagnostics function (ordering suffix -SD), the serial
diagnostics connections are wired in series and connected to a SD-
Gateway for evaluation purposes. Wiring examples for series-wiring,
refer to appendix
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level. If multiple safety switchgears are involved in
the same safety function, the PFH values of the individual
components must be added.
The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety
component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant
standards.
