Installation position

The unit can be installed in any posi­tion.
However, the sensing faces of the
safety switch and actuator should be
positioned opposite each other in par­allel.
Operating distances may deviate if
other arrangements are used.

Further information about the operat­ing distances and the maximum per­mitted lateral and vertical offset can be
found in the chapters entitled “De­scription” and “Units”.

Installation guidelines

Adjustment

` The safety switch can only be used

with a corresponding actuator.

` The actuator must not make con-

tact with the safety switch. Please
note the minimum operating dis­tance stated in the technical details.

` Always test the function with one of

the approved evaluation devices.

` The “Safetygate” LED on the safety

switch illuminates yellow when the
actuator is in the response range
(guard closed, safety switch and
actuator adjusted).

Swing gates

On swing gates the safety switch must
be positioned on the closed edge. The
distance between the two systems
comprising safety switch and actuator
must be at least 40 cm.

Safety
switch

` If you install safety switches and ac-

tuators in the vicinity of electrically
or magnetically conductive materi­al, check the operating distances,
as changes can be expected.

` Safety switches and actuators

should only be secured using M5
screws with a flat head (e.g. M5
cheese-head or pan head screws).
Torque setting max. 1 Nm.

` The distance between two trans-

ponder systems must be at least 40
cm (see installation example, “Safe­ty switches on swing gates”).

Safety switch and actuator

` Do not expose to heavy shock or vi-

bration

` Do not use as a limit stop

Attachment

Attach the safety switch to the fixed
part of the safety device.

The actuator should be secured per­manently to guarantee security against
manipulation.

Concealed installation

Concealing the installation of the safe­ty switch and actuator increases secu­rity against manipulation and reduces
the risk of injury.
