Mechanical Installation
Allmountinghardwareissuppliedbytheuser.Fastenersmustbeofsufficientstrengthto
guardagainstbreakage.Useofpermanentfastenersorlockinghardwareisrecommended
topreventlooseningordisplacementoftheactuatorandtheswitchbody.Themounting
holesintheswitchbodyandtheactuatoracceptM6screws(seedimensiondrawings,
pages6and7).
Ensurethatexcessiveforceisnotexertedbytheweightandswingoftheguard,gate,or
door.(Seespecificationsonpage6.)
Positionblankhinges(ifused)andthehingeswitch(es)ontheguardorgatewhileitis
initsfullyclosedandlatchedposition.Verifythattheaxisofrotationisidenticalforall
hingesused.(Typically,thiscanbeaccomplishedbyusingastraightedgealongthelong
flatedgetoverifythattheswitchbodiesareparallel.)Afterthemountinghardwareis
secure,checktherotationoftheguardorgateformisalignmentandbinding.
NOTE:Asafetyswitchmustbeinstalledinamannerthatdiscouragestamperingor
defeat.
CAUTION . . . End Stops
Do not use the switch as an end stop.
Theoperatingangleoftheswitchmustbelimitedby
outerendstops.
WARNING . . .
Itmustnotbepossibleforpersonneltoreachany
hazardpointthroughanopenedguard(orany
opening)beforehazardousmachinemotionhas
completelystopped.PleasereferenceOSHACFR
1910.217andANSIB11standards(seepage2)
forinformationondeterminingsafetydistancesand
safeopeningsizesforyourguardingdevices.
Figure 1. Hinge switch installation
Setting the Switch Point
1. Verifythatthehingeswitches(andblindhinges,ifused)areproperlymounted
andthattheguardorgateswingsfreelythroughoutitsrangeofmotionwithout
binding.Ifbindingisnoticed,repeatthemechanicalinstallationprocedures
above.SeeFigure1.
2. Placetheguardinitsclosedandlatchedposition.Double-checkthatthe
installationiscorrectandtheresultingswitchingactionisasexpected.See
Figure2.
3. Tofixtheswitchingpoint,movethedoororhatchtoitsclosedpositionand
fastenit(e.g.,byastop)toavoidanyswiveling.
4. Tightenthesetscrewwiththesuppliedspecialbit;max.torqueis2Nm.
5. Thecompletevisiblegreencolorringinthegapindicatesthatthefixation
processwasdonecorrectly.
6. Insertthesuppliedplugsintothetopsideofthehinge,andthebottomofthe
switch,toprotecttheswitchfromdirtordebris.

Fine-Adjusting the Switch Point Setting
Theadjustmentscrewcanbeusedtoadjustthesettingby±1.5°.Thiscanbeuseful
tocompensatefordeviationsduringinstallationorlater(amisplacedstopormachine
vibration,forexample).Tomaketheadjustment,insertthesuppliedscrewdriverinto
theslotofthearrow(Figure2c)andturnclockwisetoincreaseorcounterclockwiseto
decreasethesetting.Formostapplications,adjusttheangletoitsfunctionalminimum
position.
Relocating the Switch Point Setting or Repositioning the Hinge
Theswitchpointsettingcanbechangedatalaterdate(forexample,tomountina
newlocation).Changingthesettingrequiresreplacementoftheredplasticwasher(see
Accessoriesforakitthatincludesareplacementwasher).
Thehingemustberemovedfromtheswitchcomponentinordertoremovetheearlier
switchpointsetting.Thehingemaythenbereinstalledonthesamesideoftheswitch
asbefore,oritmaybeinstalledtotheoppositeside.(Thusaleft-handhingemaybe
convertedtoaright-handhinge,andviceversa.)
Toperformeithertask:
1. Removethescrewsfasteningthehingetotheswitchusingthesuppliedtool.
(Figure3a.)Retainthescrewsforlaterreuse.
2. Insertaflat-bladescrewdriverbetweenthehingehousingandtheplasticplug,to
gentlyprytheplasticplugsout.Retaintheplasticplugsforlaterreuse.(Figure
3b.)
3. Removethehingeportionfromtheswitch.Lifttheredplasticwasherfromthe
switch.Discardtheplasticwasher;itcannotbereused.(Figures3cand3d.)
4. AligntheswitchcylinderarrowwithmarkA”ontheswitchhousing.(AnSW8-
sizehexwrenchisrecommended,foreasyrotation.)(Figure3e.)
5. Gentlypressandturntheswitchelementintotheenclosure,untiltheswitch
cylinderarrowalignswithmark“B”ontheswitchhousing.(Figure3f.)
6. Presstheswitchelementintotheenclosureagain,untilitreachestheinternal
stop.Installanewredplasticwasher(fromtheaccessoriesbagincludedwith
theswitch)ontotheswitchcylinder.(Figure3g.)
7. Ifchangingthehingepositionontheswitch(changingfromalefthingetoa
right,forexample),removetherectangularplugfromtheswitchhousingand
attachthehingetothatside.Installthehingeontotheswitchandrotate30°
toseat.Fastentheswitchtothehingeusingthesuppliedtoolandthescrews
removedinstep1.(Figure3h.)(Countersunkscrewmax.torque:2Nm.)
8. Fixthenewswitchpointsettingasrequired.
Figure 2. Setting the switch point
a. Move door or hatch to closed position
and secure.
b. Tighten screw with supplied bit
(max. torque 2 Nm).

Electrical Connection
AsillustratedinFigure4,anormally-closedsafetycontact(i.e.,asafetycontactthatis
closedwhentheactuatorisengaged)from each of two safety switches per interlock
guardmustconnecttoa2-channelsafetymoduleorsafetyinterfaceinordertoachieve
acontrolreliableinterfacetothemasterstopcontrolelementsofamachine.Examplesof
appropriatesafetymodulesinclude2-channelemergencystop(E-stop)safetymodules
andgatemonitorsafetymodules.
Twofunctionsofthesafetymoduleorsafetyinterfaceare:
1. Toprovideameansofmonitoringthecontactsofbothsafetyswitchesfor
contactfailure,andtopreventthemachinefromrestartingifeitherswitchfails;
and
2. Toprovidearesetroutineafterclosingtheguardandreturningthesafetyswitch
contactstotheirclosedposition.Thispreventsthecontrolledmachineryfrom
restartingbysimplyclosingtheguard.Thisnecessaryresetfunctionisrequired
byANSIB11andNFPA79machinesafetystandards.
Useonlythepositivelydriven,normallyclosedsafetycontact(betweenpins11and12
or21and22)fromeachswitchforconnectiontothesafetymodule.Atypicaluseforthe
non-safetyauxiliarycontact(betweenpins33and34)istocommunicatewithaprocess
controller.Refertotheinstallationinstructionsprovidedwiththesafetymodulesformore
informationregardingtheinterfaceofthesafetymoduletothemachinestopcontrol
elements.
Periodic Checks
Safetyswitchesshouldbecheckedateachshiftchangeormachinesetupbya
designated person (seebelow)for:
•Breakageoftheswitchbody.
•Confirmationthatthesafetyswitchisnotbeingusedasanendstop
.
•Verificationthatitisnotpossibletoreachanyhazardpointthroughanopenedguard
(oranyopening)beforehazardousmachinemotionhascompletelystopped
.
•Verificationthatthehingeswingsfreelythroughoutitstotaloperatingrange.
•Looseningofmountinghardware.
•Signsofdeteriorationordamage.
•Signsoftamperingordefeattotheswitchortothewiringinterfacetothemachine.
Adesignated personisidentifiedinwritingbytheemployerasbeingappropriatelytrained
toperformaspecifiedcheckoutprocedure.
Repairs
Do not attempt any repairs to the switch. It contains no field-replaceable components.
Return the switch to the factory for warranty repair or replacement.
Ifitbecomesnecessarytoreturnaswitchtothefactory,contactBanneratthenumber
oraddresslistedonthebackcover.Anapplicationsengineerwillattempttotroubleshoot
theproblemorwillissueanRMA(ReturnMerchandiseAuthorization)numberforyour
paperwork,andgiveyouthepropershippingaddress.
Packtheswitchcarefully.Damagethatoccursinshippingisnotcoveredbywarranty.

CAUTION...Auxiliary
Electrical Installation
Two safety switches must be used for each
interlock guard to achieve control reliability or
Safety Category 4 (per ISO 13849-1,
EN 954-1) of a machine stop circuit. Use of
only one safety switch per interlock guard is not
recommended.
Inaddition,normally-closedsafetycontacts
fromeachofthetwosafetyswitchesshouldbe
connectedtothetwoseparateinputsofa2-channel
safetymoduleorsafetyinterface,asillustratedin
Figure4.Thisisrequiredtoprovidemonitoringfor
safetyswitchcontactfailure,andtoprovidethe
necessaryresetroutine,asrequiredbyIEC60204-
1andNFPA79machinesafetystandards.
WARNING...
Series Connection of Safety Interlock
Switches
Monitoring multiple guards with a series
connection of multiple safety interlock switches
is not a Safety Category 4 Application (per ISO
13849-1, EN 954-1).
A single failure may be masked or not detected
at all. When such a configuration is used,
procedures must be performed regularly to verify
proper operation of each switch.
