3-1Power Supply
If the power supply for the GS (Non-contact) is the converting type, the power
supply for the GS (Non-contact) must meet the conditions listed below in
order to meet the requirements specified in ISO 14119, IEC 60947-5-3, UL
61010-1, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1.
(a) The rated output voltage is within 24 V DC ±20 % (Ripple P-P 10 % or
less, Class2, SELV, Overvoltage category II).
(b) The insulation between the primary and secondary circuits is reinforced or
double insulation.
(c) The power supply complies with the laws, regulations, and standards
related to items such as electrical safety and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) in the country or area in which the GS (Non-contact)
will be used.
When the power supply used with the GS (Non-contact) is
shared with other machines or electrical products, the voltage
supplied to the GS (Non-contact) may drop due to temporary
increases in the current consumption of these other machines
and the GS (Non-contact) may also be affected by the noise
generated by these other machines. Errors or other such
problems may occur with the GS (Non-contact) in this
situation, so it is strongly recommended to avoid sharing the
power supply of the GS (Non-contact) with other machines or
electrical products.

• To minimize defeat possibilities, GS (Non-contact) should
be installed in a position where the accessibility to GS
(Non-contact) is prevented (e.g. mounting out of reach,
physical obstruction or shielding or mounting in hidden
position), otherwise use non-detachable fixing to prevent
dismantling or de-positioning of GS (Non-contact) (e.g.
Using a flat head screw and plugging the slot on the screw
head with a high-strength threadlocker after tightening the
screw or other equivalent fixing system).
Refer ISO 14119 for more information to minimize defeat
possibilities.
• Securely tighten the screws for the sensor, actuator, and
mounting brackets according to the specified tightening
torque.
• To prevent self-loosening, use screw locker on the screws
fixing the GS (Non-contact).

4-1OSSD
An OSSD output is a safety output for the safety-related part of a machine
control system.
OSSD 1/2 is a pair of safety outputs that are redundant.
The GS (Non-contact) generates self-diagnosis signals on its internal control
circuit to perform diagnostics on the OSSD. These signals periodically force the
OSSD into a temporary OFF-state when the OSSD is in the ON-state.
If the internal control circuit receives a feed-back signal (OFF-signal) based on
the self-diagnosis, the GS (Non-contact) determines that its OSSD is operating
normally. If the OFF-signal is not returned to the internal control circuit, the GS
(Non-contact) determines that there is a problem with the OSSD or wiring and
goes to an error state.
OSSD operation
The OSSDs go to OFF state:
• During startup, in the error state, when switching the coding level
When all the conditions shown below are met during normal operation, the
OSSDs go to ON state. (*1)
• The sensor has detected an actuator.
• Safety inputs are ON.
*1: The OSSDs go to OFF state in the interlock reset ready state.
• For the wiring to a safety-related machine control system,
the output of both OSSD 1 and OSSD 2 must be used by the
safety-related machine control system in order to create a
safety system.
• If only one OSSD output is used to construct the machine’s
control system, an OSSD malfunction will make it
impossible to stop the machine, which may lead to
extremely dangerous situations including serious injury to
or death of the machine’s user.
• When using a PNP sensor, do not cause a short-circuit
between the OSSD and +24V. Otherwise, the OSSDs will
stay in the ON-state and it will cause a dangerous situation.
• When using a PNP sensor, be sure to connect the load
between the OSSD and 0 V. Connecting this between the
OSSD and +24 V by mistake will invert the OSSD operation
from its normal behavior, which is extremely dangerous.
• When using an NPN sensor, do not cause a short-circuit
between the OSSDs and 0V. Otherwise, the OSSDs stay in
the ON-state and it will cause a dangerous situation.
• When using an NPN sensor, be sure to connect the load
between the OSSD and +24 V. Connecting this between the
OSSD and 0 V by mistake will invert the OSSD operation
from its normal behavior, which is extremely dangerous.
• To prevent malfunctions caused by ground faults on the
OSSD output wire, perform wiring in a manner such that the
requirements specified in paragraph 9.4.3 of IEC 60204-1
are met.

This function controls the OSSDs of the GS (Non-contact) with input signals
from sensors or similar devices connected to the safety inputs.
Safety input 1 and safety input 2 form a safety input pair. If safety input 1 or
safety input 2 turns OFF, the OSSDs turn OFF.
Multiple GS units can be connected and used in an expanded system (with a
cascade connection) by connecting the OSSDs of a different GS (Noncontact) or GS (Lock) to the safety inputs. The system can be expanded to
include up to thirty units in the case of the GS (Non-contact).
The simple function type has no safety input.
• Wire the safety inputs as shown below when they are not in use.
PNP type: Short circuit to 24 V.
NPN type: Short circuit to 0 V.
• If safety input 1 and safety input 2 are mismatched for 3
seconds or more a Safety Input Error will occur.
Emergency stop switch/button wiring
Wiring an emergency stop switch/button to the safety inputs makes it
possible to perform an emergency stop on the machine by pressing the
emergency stop switch/button.
• Use an emergency stop switch/button that has two or more
independent, NC (normally closed) contacts. For the
requirements related to emergency stop switches, see IEC
60204-1, ISO 13850, and all other requirements, regulations,
standards, and laws related to occupational safety and
health in the country or area where the GS (Non-contact)
will be used. For such regulations, you should directly
contact the regulatory agency responsible for occupational
safety and health in your country or region.
• Ensure that the device does not start or restart automatically
when the emergency stop switch/button is reset.
• Only the devices shown below can be connected to the
• When using a PNP sensor, please connect the OSSDs of the
PNP type GS (Lock) or GS (Non-contact) to the safety
inputs.
• When using a NPN sensor, plesae connect the OSSDs of the
NPN type GS (Lock) or GS (Non-contact) to the safety
inputs.
4-3Interlock Function
Interlock is a function that prevents the OSSDs from automatically going into
the ON-state from the OFF-state. This prevents the unintended start-up and/or
the unintended restart of the machine if the interlock is applied to the GS
(Non-contact). It is necessary to perform the reset operation in order for the
GS (Non-contact) to go back to normal operation from the interlock condition.
• Be sure to absolutely confirm that there is nobody in the
hazardous zone before the interlock condition is terminated
(i.e. the machine system restarts) by the interlock reset
mechanism.
• Install the switch, etc. for releasing the interlock state in a
position where it is possible to check the entirety of the
hazardous zone and where the switch, etc. cannot be
operated from within the hazardous zone.
• When the interlock function is set to Automatic, it is
necessary to ensure the safety of the entire control system in
order to prevent unexpected starts from occurring.
• Exercise caution to prevent the reset/EDM input from
forming a short circuit with other inputs or outputs.
4-4EDM Function
The GS (Non-contact) can monitor the state of external devices, such as a
safety relay or contactors that are connected to the OSSDs, in order to detect
the failure of the external device. This monitoring function is called the EDM
function.
EDM function settings
Use the wiring to configure the settings. The wiring varies depending on
whether the interlock function is used. For details, see “4-3 Interlock
Function” (page 6).
4-5AUX Output
This is an informational output used to check the operating status of the GS
(Non-contact).
The AUX outputs cannot be used as the safety outputs to a
safety-related control system.
4-6Coding Level
The GS (Non-contact) has two coding levels.
Coding level: Low
(multi operation)
Coding level: High
(unique operation)
Any actuator is detected when it enters the range of
the operating distance from the sensor. (Initial setting)
Only the specific actuator that the sensor has been
taught to detect is detected when it enters the range of
the operating distance from the sensor. The sensor
does not respond if an actuator other than the actuator
that it has been taught to detect is within the range of
the operating distance.
The interlock function cannot be set on the simple function
type and standard type. The interlock function is fixed to
Automatic.
On the advanced function type, the interlock function setting can be selected
from two types: Automatic and Manual.
Automatic and Manual indicate the following operations.
Automatic:
The OSSDs immediately switches to the ON state when the conditions for
doing so—such as the door closed—are met.
Manual:
Even if the conditions for switching the OSSDs to the ON state are met, the
OSSDs maintain the OFF state (interlock state).
<Terminating the interlock state>
To set the OSSDs to the ON state and to start the machine, close the door to
which the GS (Non-contact) has been installed and perform the reset
operation after the preparations for starting the machine are complete. This
sets the OSSDs to the ON state and terminates the interlock state.
Interlock function settings
Use the wiring to configure the settings. The wiring method varies depending
on whether the “4-4 EDM Function” (page 6) is used.

6-3Troubleshooting
If the operation of the GS (Non-contact) is abnormal, identify the cause of the
error and carry out the countermeasures according to the following tables.
[A] The OSSD does not turn ON (or turns OFF unexpectedly).
Possible cause
The GS (Non-contact) is in the
error state.
The actuator is not detect ed
correctly.
The actuator is broken.Replace the actuator.
During operation with the
“High” encoding level, an
actuator different from the one
that was taught was detected.
Safety input is not ON.
The unit is in the interlock
reset ready state.
The sensor and actuator a re
at a greater distance than the
specified operating distance
Sao (OFF→ON).
The unit is affected by the
surrounding metal.
The unit is affected by
interference from other
sensors.
Confirmation
method
The highly visible
indicator is blinking
in red.
The highly visible
indicator is ON in
red.
The highly visible
indicator is blinking
in orange.
The INPUT READY
indicator is blinking
in yellow.
The INPUT READY
indicator is ON in
yellow.
—Check the installation.
—Check the installation.
—Check the installation.
Identify the cause of the error and
implement countermeasures
according to “Display details when
an error occurs.”
Bring the actuator within the
detection range.
Use the actuator that was taught to
the unit.
Turn ON the safety input.
Release the interlock state by
turning the RESET/EDM input ON.
Countermeasure

[B] The OSSD does not turn OFF (or turns ON unexpectedly).
DANGER
Possible cause
The sensor and actuator are
at a shorter distance than the
specified operating distance
Sar (ON→OFF).
The unit is affected by the
surrounding metal.
The unit is affected by
interference from other
sensors.
The cascade connection
wiring is incorrect.
Confirmation
method
—Check the installation.
—Check the installation.
—Check the installation.
The INPUT READY
indicator is off.
Check the safety input wiring.
Countermeasure
[C] The OSSD sometimes turns ON and OFF.
Possible cause
The sensor is subject to noise.—
The unit is affected by the
surrounding metal.
The unit is affected by
interference from other
sensors.
The sensor and actuator are
at a distance between the
specified operating distance
Sao (OFF→ON) and Sar (ON
→OFF).
Confirmation
method
—Check the installation.
—Check the installation.
—Check the installation.
Check the noise environment
around the wiring.
Countermeasure
[D] The connected device repeatedly turns the OSSD ON/OFF
at high speed (chattering).
Possible cause
The OSSDs turn OFF
periodically by the selfdiagnosis function, but the
connected device may be
recognizing this short OFF
signal.
Confirmation
method
—
Countermeasure
Select a device that does not detect
the OSSD’s periodic OFF signal for
the connected device.
[E] No indicators light.
Possible cause
The power is off or the power
supply voltage is insufficient.
An extension cable or other
such connector cable is not
connected correctly.
Confirmation
method
Power supply
voltage or power
supply wiring
Connection status
of connector cables
Countermeasure
Ensure that the power supply
voltage is within the range in the
specifications.
Wire the power supply correctly.
If necessary, connect the parts
again.
6-4Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect the safety function of the GS (Non-contact) on the basis of the results
of a risk assessment of the target machine. It is strongly recommended that,
at minimum, the following items and periods be met.
• To prevent danger due to the machine starting, thoroughly
ensure that no one is present in the hazardous zone during
inspection.
• If some error is found on the GS (Non-contact) as a result of
the inspection, do not operate the machine.
• Initial inspection
Items
The sensor and actuator are installed on the basis of the installation
conditions, installation methods, and wiring specifications specified in this
manual.
The safety functions being used (“4-1 OSSD” (page 5), “4-2 Safety Input”
SIL3/PLe: Once/month or more, SIL2/PLd: Once/year or more (ISO 14119)
Items
If an emergency stop switch is connected to the safety input, the safety
function acts correctly when the emergency stop switch is pressed.
There are no changes in the mounting conditions of the sensor and
actuator or in the doors, etc. to which these devices are installed.
The door, etc. is not deformed.
There are no changes to the installation status that will affect the results of
the risk assessment carried out at the start of the installation.
The mounting screws and seals (in the case that seals have been applied
to the manual release) have been applied correctly.
No excessive damage or dirt is present.
Especially in the following cases, check the same details as the initial
inspection.
• When a change is made to the installation, wiring, or functions
• When the sensor or actuator is replaced
• When the equipment is not used for a long period of time
• When a defect occurs
Store the inspection results together with the machine’s records.
Errors found on the sensor or actuator cannot be repaired by the customer.
Replace the product with a new one or contact the nearest KEYENCE office.
