3.1Structure and function
The safety switch is an interlocking device with a locking device consisting of a non-con‐
act sensor with locking solenoid and a coded actuator. The actuator has a low coding
t
level.
If the protective device is closed, the actuator is led to the sensor. If the actuation field
is reached, the actuator code is read out and evaluated by RFID. If the code is valid, the
safe output signal switching device (OSSD) switches.
If the locking solenoid is supplied with power, the locking device is active.

Important information
DANGER
ypassing the protective device
B
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Avoid incentives to manipulate the safety switch by taking at least one of the fol‐
b
lowing measures:
Cover the sensor and the actuator with additional equipment or protect them
°
against access.
If possible use permanent mounting methods for actuators (e.g., glue, safety
°
screws, or rivets).
Mounting location
S
elect the mounting location so that the sensor and actuator are accessible for
b
maintenance work and are protected against damage.
Select a mounting location that ensures the sensor is as far away from the door
b
hinge as possible.
If necessary, fit an additional stop for the moving protective device.
b
Distance
When several safety switches are mounted to the machine, they must be mounted at a
minimum distance to one another see "Mounting several safety switches", page 20.
Alignment
The safety switch can be mounted in any alignment. When mounted horizontally, manip‐
ulation protection is increased by the anchor plate with rotating bearings. When
mounted horizontally, if the actuator is triggered by the movable physical guard, the
actuator is held by the magnet. As the anchor plate has rotating bearings, the gravita‐
tional force rotates the actuator surface away from the sensor surface and the OSSDs
go into the OFF state.
2 possible mounting methods
The sensor can be mounted in 2 ways:
Surface mounting. The sensor is mounted on the fixed part of the protective
•
device (e.g., door frame).
Flush mounting. The sensor is mounted in the fixed part of the protective device
•
(e.g., door frame). There must be a suitable recess in the mounting surface. The
thickness of the mounting surface must be between 1.5 mm and 3 mm.
Complementary information
Dimensional dr
awing of the recess for flush mounting see figure 17.
4.4Integration into the electrical control
Switch-on commands that put the machine in a dangerous state may only be activated
when t
he protective device is closed. When the machine goes into a dangerous state, a
stop command must be triggered if the protective device is opened. Depending on the
safety concept, the signal is analyzed by safety relays or a safety controller, for example.

tive device. If you connect loads to the OSSDs (safety outputs) that then also
switch if controlled with negative voltage (e.g., electro-mechanical contactor with‐
out reverse polarity protection diode), you must connect the 0 V connections of
these loads and those of the corresponding protective device individually and
directly to the same 0 V terminal strip. In the event of a fault, this is the only way to
ensure that there can be no potential difference between the 0 V connections of
the loads and those of the corresponding protective device.

H
In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
Downstream contactors must be positively guided and monitored depending on applic‐
able national regulations or required reliability of the safety function.
Make sure that downstream contactors are monitored (external device monitoring,
b
EDM).
Requirements for the electrical control of the machine
Use t
•
•
he control without test pulses. The safety switch is self-testing.
The safety switch tests the OSSDs at regular intervals. To do this, it switches each
OSSD briefly (for max. 1 ms) to the OFF state and checks whether this channel is
voltage-free during this time.
Make sure that the machine’s control does not react to these test pulses and the
machine does not switch off.
T
he inputs of a connected evaluation unit must be positive-switching (PNP), as the
•
two outputs of the safety switch send a level of the supply voltage in the switchedon state.
The OSSDs are short-circuit protected to 24 V DC and 0 V. When the actuator is in the
sensor’s response range, the OSSDs signal the ON state with the HIGH signal level (nonisolated). If the actuator is removed from the sensor’s response range or there is a
device fault, the OSSDs signal the OFF state with the LOW signal level.
The safety switch complies with the regulations for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
for the industrial sector (Radio Safety Class A). Radio interference cannot be ruled out
when used in residential areas.

The dangerous state may not be stopped in the event of non-compliance.
1.If a cascade is created with directly connected safety switches, the connecting
cable must be mounted so that a safety switch cannot be easily jumpered; e.g.,
cover plug connector or protect against access with additional means (e.g., protec‐
tive cover with disposable screws).
2.If a cascade is created with T-connectors, the connecting cable must be mounted
so that individual T-connectors (and therefore a safety switch) cannot be easily
jumpered.
Both connection methods can be combined as desired.

2)
Pin 1 is not assigned on T-connector. Safety switch signals to pin 1 are not relevant for the cascade (see
figure 18).
3)
The locking device must function in accordance with the power to lock principle.
Additional voltage supply
T
he voltage drop in the cascade must be checked so that the defined minimum voltage
is still applied to each safety switch. If the defined minimum voltage is no longer
applied to a safety switch, a node for voltage supply must be integrated. The node for
voltage supply must be integrated in the direction of the safe evaluation unit, as close
as possible to the relevant switch in the cascade.
Number of safety switches
The maximum number of safety switches depends on the following factors:
Applied supply voltage
•
Length of cables used
•
Cable cross-section of cables used
•
Load current
•
Nodes for voltage supply
•
Required performance level (see "Technical data", page 34)
•
The number of safety switches in a cascade influences the response time of the system
(see "Technical data", page 34).
The maximum number of safety switches in a cascade changes depending on the total
length of cable as follows:

must be mounted so that a safety switch cannot be easily jumpered; e.g., cover
plug connectors or protect against access with additional means (e.g., protective
cover with disposable screws)

In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
1.Before commissioning the machine, have it checked and released by qualified
safety personnel.
2.Make sure that the time for the safety requirement (closing the protective device
again) is longer than the response time.
7.2Switching on
The device initializes after it is switched on. OSSDs are switched off in the meantime.
The OSSD light emitting diode lights up after initialization.
7.3Thorough check
Requirements for the thorough check during commissioning and in certain situations
T
he protective device and its application must be thoroughly checked in the following
situations:
Before commissioning
•
After changes to the configuration or the safety function
•
After changes to the mounting, the alignment, or the electrical connection
•
After exceptional events, such as after a manipulation has been detected, after
•
modification of the machine, or after replacing components
The thorough check ensures the following:
All relevant regulations are complied with and the protective device is active for all
•
of the machine’s operating modes.
The documentation corresponds to the state of the machine, including the protec‐
•
tive device
The thorough checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qual‐
ified and authorized personnel and must be documented in a traceable manner.
