Only if the information described in this operating instruc-
tions manual are realised correctly, the safety function and
therefore the compliance with the Machinery Directive and
the Explosion Protection 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 Destination and use
The safety switch has been designed to prevent, in conjunction with the
control part of a machine, movable safety guards from being opened
before hazardous conditions have been eliminated.
The components can be used in explosion-endangered areas of Zone
22 equipment category 3D. The installation and maintenance require-
ments to the standard series EN 60079 must be met.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in ac-
cordance with the relevant standards and the required safety
level.
Conditions for safe operation
Due to their specific impact energy, the components must be fitted with
a protection against mechanical stresses. The specific ambient tempe-
rature range must be observed.

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
mounting holes are accessible after removal of the cover. The use of a
protective ground wire is imperative. 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.
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 remarks of the standards ISO 12100,
EN 953 and ISO 14119.
