3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
The installation may only be carried out by authorised
personnel.
• Any mounting position.
• Do not install the magnetic switch and the actuating magnet in strong
magnetic fields
• Keep away from metal chips
• Do not expose the magnetic switch and the actuating magnet to
strong vibrations and heavy shocks
• Do not use the magnetic switch and the actuating magnet as end stop
• The mounting distance between two sensors should always be at
least 30 mm.
When using more than one magnet switch, consider figures
next page.

2.3 Purpose
Magnetic switches are preferably used wherever mechanically operated
limit switches do not feature a satisfactory operation due to the
unfavourable operating conditions. In the elevator industry, magnetic
switches are preferably used for positioning and control purposes.
For actuating the magnetic swtches, the actuating magnets listed
by Schmersal (refer to Automation technology catalogue) can be
used. Depending on the chosen combination of magnetic switch and
actuating magnet, the switching distances and travels may vary.

Maximum side-ways offset of two actuating magnets,
whereby the middle switch will not be affected.
The specified switching distances are applicable for the
actuation of individually mounted components without ferromagnetic influence. A change of the distance, positive either
negative, is possible due to ferromagnetic influences. The
mutual interference between multiple actuating magnets must
be observed. (For specal versions: diverging values possible)
Magnetic switches with bistable contacts will only function correctly,
when a magnetic north (green) or south (red) pole goes past the active
surface. The NC or NO function depends on the actuating direction and
the polarity of the actuating magnet.
Further information on the switching distances can be found
in the Automation technology catalogue in appendix.
Inductive loads (e.g. contactors, relays, etc.) are to be
provided with suitable interference suppression circuitry.
4.2 Adjustment
In order to actuate the BN 325-R/-RG magnetic switch, a north or south
pole magnet should be used. The markings found on the actuating side
of the cover are used for adjusting the magnet to the switch. The coloured
symbols including arrows, show the proper magnet arrangements and
the actuating direction. The magnets have the corresponding coloured
markings. The markings found on the actuating side of the cover are used
for adjusting the magnet to the switch. The coloured symbols including
arrows, show the proper magnet arrangements and the actuating direction.
The magnets have the corresponding coloured markings. The magnets
have the corresponding coloured markings.
5. Set-up and maintenance
