2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Purpose
The magnetic reed switch can be used for monitoring the position of
movable guards and flaps in explosion-endangered areas of Zone 2
and 22 category 3GD. Installation and maintenance requirements to the
standard series EN 60079 must be met.
Actuation of the magnetic reed switch is only possible with the actuators
listed (see list in catalogue "Explosion Protection"). Faultless operation
and repeat accuracy is only assured with these actuators.

3. Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
Fitting is only authorised in a de-energised condition
• Any mounting position, provided that the active surfaces are opposite.
• Do not use the magnetic reed switch as limit stop.
• Two elongated holes are available for fastening the enclosure.
• Ensure the magnetic reed switch is mounted on a flat surface to avoid
tensile stresses that could damage the sensor or lead to varying
switching distances.
• Do not install magnetic reed switches and actuators in strong
magnetic fields.
• If possible do not install the magnetic reed switch and actuator on
ferromagnetic material.
• Do not expose the magnetic reed switch and actuator to strong
vibrations or heavy shocks.
• Inseparably fix the magnetic reed switch and actuator to the safety
guard.
• The use of a protective ground wire is imperative.
• Keep away from metal chips.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level.
Conditions for safe operation
Due to the specific impact energy, the components must be fitted
with a protection against mechanical stresses. The specific ambient
temperature range must be observed. The user must provide for a
protection against the permanent influence of UV rays.
