Installation guidelines
The following information provides general information for installation. Please refer to the operating instructions for more details.
Should you need additional support, feel free to contact our service center at 888-704-0702 and speak to one of our applications engineers.
Mechanical installation
The actuator of both RFID and magnetically coded safety switches can be recognized from all three directions. Align the arrows of both sensor and actuator on a flat surface and secure.
According to EN ISO 14119, the actuator must be fastened such that it is immovable. Safety screws (M4 x 18 mm length or longer) with one-way heads should be used and tightened to 0.8…2 Nm torque.
After mounting, insert the supplied protective caps to further enhance tamper resistance.
When installing multiple sensors next to each other, a minimum clearance of 50mm in each direction must be maintained

Operations of the switch can be divided into 4 states.
Actuator outside limit range
- Voltage is applied
- Inputs are active
- Outputs are deactivated
Actuator enters operating zone
- Outputs are activated
Actuator enters limit range zone
- Still within the actuating area
- Outputs remain active
Actuator leaves limit range zone
- Outputs are deactivated
