Operating Instructions
Safety Switches TX...
Correct use
Safety switches series TX are interlocking devices
with guard locking (separate actuator). The actu‑
ator has a low coding level. In combination with a
safety guard and the machine control, this safety
component prevents the safety 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
safety 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 safety guard must not cause
f
automatic starting of a dangerous machine func‑
tion. 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. 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 safety
f
of safety‑related electrical, electronic and program‑
mable 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. General principles
for design
EN ISO 14119 (supersedes EN 1088), Safety of

machinery. Interlocking devices associated with
guards. Principles for design and selection

Important!
The user is responsible for the correct integration
f
of the device in 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,
Sec. 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.
Function
The safety switch permits the locking of movable
safety guards.
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/
removal of the 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
actuator cannot be pulled out of the switch head.
For design reasons, guard locking can be activated
only when the safety 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
All versions additionally feature at least one door
monitoring contact. Depending on the switching
element, the door monitoring contacts can be
either positively driven (contacts
tively driven.
The door monitoring contacts are actuated when
the safety guard is opened.

voltage at the solenoid
Releasing guard locking

TX1 and TX3...110: apply voltage to the solenoid
TX3...024: apply control voltage with solenoid
voltage present
The spring‑operated guard locking functions in
accordance with the closed‑circuit current princi‑
ple. If voltage is interrupted at the solenoid, guard
locking remains active and the safety guard cannot
be opened directly.
If the safety guard is open when the power supply
is interrupted and the guard is then closed, guard
locking is activated. This can lead to persons being
locked in unintentionally.
Version TX2
(Guard locking actuated by energy ON and released
by spring force)
Important!
Use as guard locking for personnel protec‑
tion is possible only in special cases, after
strict assessment of the accident risk (see
EN ISO 14119:2013, Section 5.7.1)!
Activating guard locking: apply voltage to the
f
solenoid
Releasing guard locking: disconnect voltage from
f
the solenoid
The magnetically actuated guard locking operates
in accordance with the open‑circuit current principle.
If the voltage at the solenoid is interrupted, the
guard locking is released and the safety guard can
be opened directly!

Selection of the actuator
NOTICE
Damage to the device due to unsuitable actuator.
Make sure to select the correct actuator (see
table in Figure 4).
