Installation of the actuator and read
head
Only authorised specialists may perform installation
work.
Select mounting position for the safety switch such
that actuator and read head are easily accessible for
inspection and replacement, and are protected against
damage.
Ensure that a hazard is excluded with the guard open
up to the safe switch-off distance for the safety switch.
Positively mount actuator on the moving part of the
guard, e.g. using the safety screws enclosed.
It must not be possible to remove actuators or tamper
with them using simple means.
Mount read head on the fixed part of the guard such
that the front faces of the actuator and read head are at
least at the minimum switch-on distance 0.8 x S
closer with the guard closed; in case of approach from
the side a minimum distance of 4 mm is to be
maintained.
If necessary, fit additional stop for the moving part of
the guard.
Observe the maximum tightening torque of 1 Nm for
mounting safety switches and actuators.
Actuator and safety switch must not be used as a me-
chanical stop.
In case of mounting several safety switches, maintain
the stipulated minimum distance to prevent mutual
interference.
