Installation for safety applications:
Use only switches marked with the symbol . The safety circuit must always be connected with the NC contacts (normally closed contacts:
see “internal connections” on page 2/102) as stated in the standard EN 60947-5-1, encl. K, par. 2. The switch must be actuated with at least
up to the positive opening travel shown in the travels diagrams on page 6/8. T he switc h must be actuated at least with the positiv e opening
force, shown in brackets, underneath each article, near the value of the min. force.
If not expressly indicated in this chapt er , for the r ight installation and the cor rect utilization of all ar ticles see requir ements indicated
from page 6/1 to page 6/8.

Adjustable levers Overturning levers Rotating heads
In switches with revolving lever it is possible to adjust the lever with 10° steps for the
whole 360° range. The positive movement
10°
transmission is
always guaranteed thanks to
the particular geometrical coupling
between the lever
and the revolving shaft as prescribed for safety
applications by the
German standard
BG-GS-ET-15.
It’s possible to fasten the lever on switches
on straight or reverse side, maintaining the
positive coupling.
In this way it is possible to obtain two
different work plans of the lever.

The long experience of Pizzato Elet trica has lead to the realization of
the fi rst 5-poles connector integrated in a safety switch complying
with the requirements of standard IEC 947-5-1. Its high insulation
voltage Ui 250 V A C allows to mark it as suitable for safety applications
.
