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 TVS 400 hinge safety switch has been designed to prevent, in con-
junction with the control part of a machine, movable safety guards from
being opened before hazardous conditions have been eliminated. They
are also suitable for fitting on profile sections and existing equipment.
Hinge safety switches can only be used for applications, in
which the hazardous condition is terminated without delay
(e.g. run-on movements) when the safety guard is opened.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in accordance with
the relevant standards and depending on the required safety level.

3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
Four mounting holes are provided for fixing the switch. When used in
applications with function for the protection of man, the components
must be fitted so that disassembly is prevented (e.g. drill out the
hexagonal recess of the fixing screws, blocking the hexagonal recess
using a plastic cone diameter 5.1 mm).
The hinge safety switch is double insulated. The use of a protective
ground wire therefore is not authorised. The hinge safety switch must
not be used as an end stop. Any mounting position. The mounting
position however is chosen so that the components are preferably fitted
in the upper part of the safety guard to avoid the ingression of dirt and
soiling as well as damages to the components. The supplied fixing
material must be used. We recommend that the fixing screws are
painted after the component is fitted.
Please observe the remarks of the standards EN ISO 12100,
EN 953 and EN 1088. Also observe the safety distances to
the standards EN ISO 13857 and EN 349.

4. Electrical connection
4.1 General information for electrical connection
The electrical connection may only be carried out by
authorised personnel in a de-energised condition.
For the cable entry, only suitable plastic cable glands with
an appropriate degree of protection must be used.
1. Remove the switching block prior to the wiring (Fig. 1).
2. If necessary, break out one or both removable openings using a
suitable tool. Fit the plastic cable glands M20 x 1.5 with gaskets.
3. Pull the cable through the gland. Connect the wires and cables.
The contact labelling can be found on the contact elements.
4. Put back the switching block in the enclosure (Fig. 2). The cable
must be laid so that no mechanical stress is exerted on the switch
inserts. Tighten the wires and cables, check cable fixation and
arrange the inner cables and wires.
5. After wiring, the wiring compartment must be cleaned
(i.e. remove excess cables etc.).
6. The fixing screws for the wiring compartment cover must be
tightened uniformly with 0.8 Nm tightening torque.
After the switch has been fitted, the switching function and the opening
angle of the safety guard must be checked. The opening angles set in
factory of the NC contacts is approximately 3.5 ... 4°. Please observe
that during the wiring the individual switch inserts nor the complete
contact blocks are mixed up, otherwise the preset switching angle
is no longer guaranteed.
