FF-SNC

Safety Non Contact Switch

Instructions for use

IMPROPER INSTALLATION

• Consult with US and/or European safety agencies and their requirements when designing a machine control, interface and all control elements that affect safety.

• Strictly adhere to all installation instructions.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The FF-SNC Honeywell safety non contact switch is a tamper resistant safety system for monitoring machine guards. The actuator being a passive component, the safety switch is the only component that needs to be wired to the control unit and cannot be defeated by a regular magnet.

Each system is made up of one or several safety switches, actuators and a control unit. The Honeywell FF-SNC safety non contact switches are designed in compliance with the requirements of the EN 954-1 European Standard for Category 3 Protective Devices.

The FF-SNC is especially suited for applications where perfect door alignment can not be attained. The FF-SNC Series can be mounted on sliding, hinged or removable machine guards. The output of the control unit is triggered as soon as the distance between the safety switch and the actuator is greater or equal to 8 mm/0.32 in. This switching distance compensates for the machine vibration or a minor issue with the installation alignment. The sensor and actuator small size makes it usable under tight space requirements. The safety switches and the actuators provide excellent chemical and mechanical resistance. Stainless steel housing versions fulfil the requirements of the Food and Beverage industry.

The FF-SNC400 safety control unit comes in a 75 mm / 2.95 in package and can monitor up to 4 sensors.

The FF-SNC200 safety control unit with its 22,5 mm / 0.89 in width will easily find a place in the electrical cabinet and can monitor 2 sensors. Both control units can be placed up to 100 m / 328 ft away from the safety non contact switches. The indicators located on the front cover of both control units provide individual door status information.

The FF-SNC1EXT extension module can be added to the FF-SNC400 or FF-SNC200 control unit and allows the connection of 5 additional sensors.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The FF-SNC Control unit must be installed inside a NEMA 3 (IEC IP 54) rated enclosure or better. The module can be clipped easily onto a 35 mm (1.38 in.) width DIN rail (see figure 3 for installation and removal).

FIG 3. INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

1. The FF-SNC control unit is designed to fit standard 35 mm /

1.37 in symmetric DIN rail.

2. To remove: Place the tip of a small screwdriver into the white catch at the bottom of the box (1) and gently lever out. This releases the retaining clip and allows the unit to be titled (2) and removed (3).

MOUNTING SAFETY SWITCH SENSORS

The FF-SNC safety swiches can be fitted to sliding, hinged or removable machine guards. Mount the fixed part of the safety switch to the machine frame and the actuator on to the opening edge of the door ensuring that the targets on the printed faces of the switches are aligned (see Fig. 4).
