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.
Conditions for safe operation
Due to their specific impact energy, the components must be fitted
with a protection against mechanical stresses. The specific ambient
temperature range must be observed. The user must provide for a
protection against the permanent influence of UV rays.

3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
Fitting is only authorised in a de-energised condition
The enclosure can be fixed by means of 2 mounting holes. The safety
switch is double insulated. The use of an earth wire is not authorised.
The component must be mechanically protected. The enclosure must
not be used as an end stop. Any mounting position. The mounting
position must be chosen so as to avoid the penetration of dirt in the
used holes. The unused openings must be sealed by means of slot
sealing plugs (AZ 15/16-1476-1 available as accessory) after fitting.
Please observe the recommendations regarding maximum
impact energy, actuating speed and tightening torque in the
technical data.
Mounting of the actuators: See mounting instructions actuators.
Please observe the relevant requirements of the standards
ISO 12100, ISO 14119 and ISO 14120.
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).

The electrical connection may only be carried out by autho-
rised personnel in a de-energised condition.
The contact labelling can be found in the wiring compartment of the
switch.
Cable glands (included in delivery) are only authorised for permanent
cables. The constructor must provide for the necessary strain relief.
After wiring, dust and soiling must be removed from the wiring

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:
- The installation is executed according to the instructions
- The connection is executed correctly
- The cable is correctly executed and connected
- The safety component is not damaged
- Remove particles of dust and soiling
- Check cable entry and connections in de-energised condition
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 the correct fixing of the actuator and the safety switchgear
2. Remove particles of dust and soiling
3. Check cable entry and connections in a de-energised condition
Avoid electrostaic charging. Clean with damp cloth.
Do not open the device when live.
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.
For explosion protection reasons, the component must be
exchanged after max. 1 million operations.
6. Disassembly and disposal
6.1 Disassembly
The safety switchgear must be disassembled in a de-energised
condition only.
