Mounting
When mounting to protective equipment, the requirements of
standard ISO 14119 must be taken into account.
Magnetic reed switches and magnets pass one another over the front
surface.
• The component can be mounted in any position.
• Do not use devices as limit stops.
• Ensure the magnetic reed switch is mounted on a flat surface to
avoid tensile stresses that could damage the magnetic reed switch or
lead to varying switching distances.
• Inseparably mount magnetic reed switches and magnets to protective
equipment (tamper-proof screws, e.g. Torx with pin, rivets, etc.).
• Do not expose magnetic reed switches or magnets to strong vibrations
or shocks.
• The mounting distance between two sensors should always be at
least 50 mm.
To avoid any interference or reduction in the switching distances,
please observe the following guidelines:
• If possible do not install the magnetic reed switch and magnet on
ferromagnetic material.
• Do not install magnetic reed switches and magnets in strong
magnetic fields.
• Keep away from metal chips.
Switching distance
BP 310-1S, BP 310-1N X = 10 mm
BP 310-2S, BP 310-2N X = 15 mm
BP 15 S, BP 15 N X = 20 mm
