4. Function
4.1 Motor drive
A capacitor motor with a supply voltage of 230 V AC 50/60 Hz is used to actuate the RF plug-in switch
via a special crank gear box developed by SPINNER. Depending on the type of switch the drive control
system enables remote switching by means of a control voltage of 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz or 8 to 31 V
DC.
Order number Control voltage
BN 553664 8 V DC to 31 V DC
BN 553665 230 V AC
4.2 SPINNER crank drive
To avoid contact bounce at fast switching time, the switch is equipped with a crank gear box. It
effectuates a change of torque and angular speed during the switching process. At the beginning of
the switching process, the crank gear box offers very high torque at low angular speed. With increasing
rotation angle of the switch, the angular speed increases continuously, while the torque decreases.
The behaviour reverses after passing the centre position of the switch, i.e. the angular speed
decreases while the usable torque increases. The drive unit is mechanically interlocked at the end
positions.

7 / 23
4.3 Bistable switching property (latching)
The RF plug-in 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 plug-in switch remains in an undefined switching state, if the operating voltage fails during the
switching process. After reapplying the operating voltage, the RF plug-in 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 plug-in
switch is mechanically interlocked in the end position.
4.5 Visual position indicator
The RF plug-in 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 plug-in switch.
Do not use the interlock loop for operational switch-off of the transmitters.
Connect all transmitters to the interlock loop to avoid RF plug-in switch damage.
Hot switching is not permitted.
The interlock and signal contacts open before and close after switching of the RF contacts. Therefore
the signal contacts can also 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).
4.8 Strapping plug for USL-interlock I
The centrally placed interlock strapping plug is designed to open before and close after connecting of
the RF connectors. Integration of the strapping plug into the interlock loop is mandatory to avoid hot
switching in case of accidental removal of the RF plug-in switch from the patch panel.
To ease attachment of the RF plug-in switch to the patch panel, BN 553664 and BN 553665 are
equipped with a centering pin.

10.2 Electrical installation
ATTENTION Do not use the interlock loop for operational switch-off of the transmitters.
Connect all transmitters to the interlock loop to avoid RF plug-in switch damage. Hot
switching is not permitted.
Follow the circuit diagram given in this manual and use the supplied connectors only to connect
interlock, signal and mains.
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).
The interlock and signal contacts and the contacts of strapping plug for USL-Interlock I 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. Limit the circuits
externally by means of fuses to 0.5 A.
Use a suitable and amply dimensioned power cord (min 0.5mm², max 0.75mm²) and the supplied
5 pole connector BN 126919 only to connect power. Limit the power connection by means of an
external fuse (time-delay, 2 A).
Relieve all connections to the RF plug-in switch from any bending torque, e.g. caused by heavy
cables or assemblies. Avoid sharp bends and tensile load.
