interlock loop for safety-related purpose
If the RF switch is not used as intended, safe operation of this product cannot be guaranteed. The user
is responsible for all personal injury and property damage resulting from improper use. Reading the
manual as well as adhering to all the information provided – particularly the safety instructions - is
considered mandatory to comply with the intended use.
4. Function
4.1 Impulse solenoid drive
Switches with impulse solenoid drive generate the torque for the rotor with a rotating permanent
magnet located in a stationary coil. The drive system has two stable switching positions and is locked
in both end positions (latching). Therefore a pulse is sufficient as a control signal (e.g. after switching
no voltage is required). In the event of power failure, or after restarting the system, the last switch
position is retained.
4.2 Hypocycloid gear
The drive and the basic switch element (rotor) are connected by a special gear which has been
developed by SPINNER. With the hypocycloidic gear it is achieved that the torsional moment and
angular velocity changes within the range of rotation.
In the beginning of the changeover procedure there is a high torsional moment whereas the angular
velocity of the rotating breaker is very low. With an increasing angle of revolution the angular velocity
will increase as well while the torsional moment will decrease. On the mid-position of the rotating
breaker this behavior will reverse and the angular velocity is decreasing while the torsional moment
increases.
The drive system is mechanically locked in both end positions.

7 / 18
4.3 Bistable switching property (latching)
The RF switches show a bistable switching behaviour. Switching takes place from one stable state
into another after applying the control voltage. For this reason, an impulse control signal is sufficient.
The minimum impulse length has to correspond to the maximum switching time (see data sheet of this
manual). After completion of the switching process, the control voltage is no longer necessary. If the
switch is in an end position and the operating voltage fails, the switch remains in the end position. This
also applies to resetting.
The RF switch remains in an undefined switching state, if the operating voltage fails during the
switching process. After reapplying the operating voltage, the RF switch continues the switching
process until it reaches the originally demanded end position.
4.4 Manual override
The switch position can be selected by the user manually with the manual override. The RF switch is
mechanically interlocked in the end position.
4.5 Visual position indicator
The RF switch features a visual position indicator on the drive unit (top side). The position indicators
signal switched RF paths in the respective switch end positions.
4.6 Interlock / signal contacts
WARNING Do not use the interlock loop for personal protection.
ATTENTION Switch off all transmitters before actuating the RF switch.
Do not use the interlock loop for operational switch-off of the transmitters.
Connect all transmitters to the interlock loop to avoid RF switch damage.
Hot switching is not permitted.
Only the interlock contacts open before and close after switching of the RF contacts. Therefore the
signal contacts cannot be used for interlock purposes!
The interlock and signal contacts comply with the requirements for SELV (DIN EN 60950-1).
The maximum permissible voltage is 42.4 V ACpk / 60 V DC. This applies to the loop voltage and the
voltage between signal or interlock contacts and to the earthed casing.
The circuit must be externally limited to 0.5 A.
4.7 Earthing terminal
To ensure equipotential bonding with other plant components, connect the marked earthing terminal
to the main earthing busbar with a copper lead (min 6 mm²).
