Operating Instructions
Safety Switch STA-TW... (Twin)
Correct use
Safety switches series STA-TW are interlocking
devices with guard locking solenoid (separate
actuator). The actuator has a low coding level. In
combination with a movable guard and the machine
control, this safety component prevents the guard
from being opened while a dangerous machine
function is being performed.
This means:
Starting commands that cause a dangerous ma-
f
chine function must become active only when the
guard is closed and locked.
The guard locking device must not be unlocked
f
until the dangerous machine function has ended.
Closing and locking a guard must not cause auto-
f
matic 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 are also suitable for process
protection.
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, Safety of machinery – Interlocking
f
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 13849-1:2015 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.
The switching operation must be triggered only
f
by actuators designated for this purpose.
Prevent bypassing by means of replacement
f
actuators. For this purpose, restrict access to
actuators and to keys for releases, for example.
Mounting, electrical connection and setup only
f
by authorized personnel possessing special
knowledge about handling safety components.
CAUTION
Danger due to high housing temperature at ambi-
ent temperatures above 40 °C.
Protect switch against touching by personnel or
f
contact with inflammable material.
Function
Safety switches series STA-TW... (Twin) have two ac-
tuator heads. They permit the simultaneous locking
or unlocking of two movable guards.
Both actuators must be inserted in order to activate
guard locking.
In the switch head there is a rotating cam that is
blocked/released by the guard locking pin.
The guard locking pin is moved on the insertion of
both actuators/the removal of one actuator and on
the activation/release of the guard locking. During
this process the switching contacts are actuated.
If the cam is blocked (guard locking active), the
actuators cannot be pulled out of the switch head.
For design reasons, guard locking can be activat-
ed only when the guard is closed (failsafe locking
mechanism).
The safety switch is designed so that fault ex-
clusions for internal faults in accordance with
EN ISO 13849-2:2013, Table A4, can be assumed.
Guard lock monitoring
All versions feature at least one safe contact for
monitoring guard locking. The contacts
opened when guard locking is released.
Door monitoring contact
Versions STP-TW-3 and STP-TW-4 additionally feature
at least one door monitoring contact. Depending on
the switching element, the door monitoring contacts
can be either positively driven (contacts
positively driven.
The door monitoring contacts are actuated when
the guard is opened.
Version STA-TW-3
(Guard locking actuated by spring force applied and
power-ON released)
Activating guard locking: close guard; no voltage
f
at the solenoid
Releasing guard locking: apply voltage to the
f
solenoid
The spring-operated guard locking functions in ac-
cordance with the closed-circuit current principle. If
the voltage is interrupted at the solenoid, the guard
locking remains active and the guard cannot be
opened directly.
If the guard is open when the power supply is
interrupted and is then closed, guard locking is
activated. This can lead to persons being locked
in unintentionally.

Manual release
Some situations require the guard locking to be
released manually (e.g. malfunctions or an emer-
gency). A function test should be performed after
release.
More information on this topic can be found in the
standard EN ISO 14119:2013, section 5.7.5.1. The
device can feature the following release functions:
Auxiliary release
In the event of malfunctions, the guard locking can
be released with the auxiliary release irrespective
of the state of the solenoid.

The contacts
are opened when the auxiliary
release is actuated. A stop command must be
generated with these contacts.
