code, are available.
Only if the information described in this operating instructions
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 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. They are also suita-
ble for fitting on profile sections and existing equipment.
Safety switches can only be used for applications, in which
the hazardous situation is terminated without delay (e.g. run-
on movements) when the safety guard is opened.
When the safety guard is opened, the NC contacts are positively ope-
ned and the NO contacts are closed.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in accordance with
the relevant standards and on the required safety level.

3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
3/2 mounting holes are provided for fixing the switch. The safety switch
must not be used as end stop. Any mounting position. The mounting
position however must be chosen so that the components are protected
against soiling and damage. In case of painting activities, the compo-
nents must be covered. The supplied fixing material must be used. If
another actuating direction is desired, the four screws of the actuating
head must be loosened. Turn the actuating head in the desired direc-
tion and retighten the screws (tightening torque 0.5 Nm). The default
screws installed in the actuating head can be replaced with the supplied
tamperproof screws.
Mounting of the actuators: See mounting instructions actuators.
Please observe the remarks of the standards EN ISO 12100,
EN 953 and ISO 14119.
The 3-pole variants can only be connected to 2 screw points.
For stability reasons, at least the hatched area shown on the
image must be provided as full contact surface.
