Precision Multiple Limit Switches GS...C1806 12 mm
Correct use
Precision multiple limit switches series GS are
interlocking devices without guard locking (with
safety function).
The actuator is uncoded (e.g. dog). In combination
with a movable safety guard and the machine
control, this safety component prevents dangerous
machine functions from occurring while the safety
guard is open. A stop command is triggered if
the safety guard is opened during the dangerous
machine function.
For general applications, snap-action switching
elements ES502E are used. For usage as safety
switches, only the switching elements ES508E with
positively driven NC contacts are allowed.
This means:
Starting commands that cause a dangerous ma-
f
chine function must become active only when the
safety guard is closed.
Opening the safety guard triggers a stop com-
f
mand.
Closing a safety guard must not cause automatic
f
starting of a dangerous machine function. A
separate start command must be issued. For
exceptions, refer to EN ISO 12100 or relevant
C-standards.
Devices from this series can be used as safe position
encoders.
Before the device is used, a risk assessment must
be performed on the machine, e.g. in accordance
with the following standards:
EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery – Safety-re-
f
lated parts of control systems – Part 1: General
principles for design
EN ISO 12100, Safety of machinery – General
f
principles for design – Risk assessment and risk
reduction
IEC 62061, Safety of machinery – Functional
f
safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and
programmable electronic control systems.
Correct use includes observing the relevant require-
ments for installation and operation, particularly
based on the following standards:
EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery – Safety-re-
f
lated parts of control systems – Part 1: General
principles for design
EN ISO 14119 (supersedes EN 1088), Safety of
f
machinery – Interlocking devices associated with
guards – Principles for design and selection
EN 60204-1, Safety of machinery – Electrical
f
equipment of machines.
Important!
The user is responsible for the proper integration
f
of the device into a safe overall system. For this
purpose, the overall system must be validated,
e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
If the simplified method according to section 6.3
f
of EN ISO 13849-1:2008 is used for determining
the Performance Level (PL), the PL might be re-
duced if several devices are connected in series.
Logical series connection of safe contacts is
f
possible up to PL d in certain circumstances.
More information about this is available in
ISO TR 24119.
If a product data sheet is included with the prod-
f
uct, the information on the data sheet applies
in case of discrepancies with the operating
instructions.
Safety precautions
WARNING
Danger to life due to improper installation or due
to bypassing (tampering). Safety components
perform a personal protection function.
Safety components must not be bypassed,
f
turned away, removed or otherwise rendered
ineffective. On this topic pay attention in partic-
ular to the measures for reducing the possibility
of bypassing according to EN ISO 14119:2013,
section 7.
Mounting, electrical connection and setup only
f
by authorized personnel possessing special
knowledge about handling safety components.
Function
Precision multiple limit switches are used for posi-
tioning and control applications in mechanical and
systems engineering.
The switching elements are actuated by means of
plungers. Different plunger types and trip dogs are
used depending on the application (operating point
accuracy and approach speed) (see Figure 4).
In general applications the plunger is actuated by
trip dogs in accordance with DIN 69639 which
are mounted with an interference fit in trip rails in
accordance with DIN 69638.
The switching contacts are actuated when the actu-
ating element is moved from the free position to the
end position. The safety contacts
opened in this process (see Figure 1).
Switching states
The detailed switching states for your switch can be
found in Figure 1. All available switching elements
are described there.
Actuating element in free position
The safety contacts are closed.
Actuating element in end position
The safety contacts are open.
Mounting
NOTICE
Device damage due to improper mounting and
unsuitable ambient conditions
Safety switches and actuators must not be used
f
as an end stop.
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, sections 5.2 and
f
5.3, for information about fastening the safety
switch and the actuator.
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, section 7, for
f
information about reducing the possibilities for
bypassing an interlocking device.
It is imperative that dimension

f
switch reference surface to trip dog, see Figure
3) is maintained in safety circuits to ensure safe
contact opening.
Protect the switch against damage.
f
Protection against environmental
effects
Safety venting valves are used to equalize the
pressure to protect against the pumping action of
the plunger. They must not be sealed with paint.
Mask plunger, plunger guide, safety venting valves

The following information applies to devices
with cable entry:
1. Use a suitable tool to open the desired inser-

2. Fit the cable gland with the appropriate degree
of protection.
3. Connect and tighten the terminals (for terminal
assignment, see Figure 1; for tightening torque
values, see technical data).
4. Check that the cable entry is sealed.
5. Close the switch cover and screw in place
