Operating Instructions
Safety Switch TK...
Mounting
NOTICE
Device damage due to improper mounting and
unsuitable ambient conditions
Safety switches must not be used as an end stop.
f
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, sections 5.2 and
f
5.3, for information about fastening the safety
switch.
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, section 7, for
f
information about reducing the possibilities for
bypassing an interlocking device.
Protect the switch head against damage, as well
f
as penetrating foreign objects such as swarf,
sand and blasting shot, etc.
The actuating head is not allowed to be turned.
f
The specified IP degree of protection is applicable
f
only if the housing screws, cable entries and plug
connectors are properly tightened. Observe the
tightening torques.
The guard locking pin must be inserted by at least
f
2 mm (see Figure 1).
Mount the safety switch positively. The switch
f
must be fastened using four screws (M5) on the
switch's head. The specified locking force applies
only to this type of attachment.
Electrical connection
WARNING
Loss of the safety function due to incorrect
connection.
Use only safe contacts (
and
f
functions.
When choosing the insulation material and
f
wire for the connections, pay attention to the
required temperature resistance and the max.
mechanical load!
Use of the safety switch as guard locking for
personnel protection
At least one contact
must be used. It signals
the guard locking state (for terminal assignment,
see Figure 2).
Use of the safety switch as guard locking for
process protection
At least one contact
must be used. Contacts
with the
symbol can also be used (for terminal
assignment, see Figure 2).
The following information applies to devices
with plug connector:
Check that the plug connector is sealed.
f
The following information applies to devices
with cable entry:
1. Use a suitable tool to open the desired inser-
tion opening.
2. Fit the cable gland with the appropriate degree
of protection.
3. Connect and tighten the terminals with 0.5 Nm
(for terminal assignment, see Figure 2).
4. Check that the cable entry is sealed.
5. Close the switch cover and screw in place
(tightening torque 0.8 Nm).
Function test
WARNING
Fatal injury due to faults during the function test.
Before carrying out the function test, make sure
f
that there are no persons in the danger zone.
Observe the valid accident prevention regula-
f
tions.
Check the device for correct function after installa-
tion and after every fault.
Proceed as follows:
Mechanical function test
The guard locking pin must move easily to the locked
position. For checking, close the guard several times
and extend and retract guard locking pin.
Electrical function test
1. Switch on operating voltage.
2. Close all guards and activate guard locking.
The machine must not start automatically.
¨
It must not be possible to open the guard.
¨
3. Start the machine function.
It must not be possible to release guard locking
¨
as long as the dangerous machine function is
active.
4. Stop the machine function and release guard
locking.
The guard must remain locked until there is no
¨
longer any risk of injury (e.g. due to movements
with overtravel).
It must not be possible to start the machine
¨
function as long as guard locking is released.
Repeat steps 2–4 for each guard.
Inspection and service
WARNING
Danger of severe injuries due to the loss of the
safety function.
If damage or wear is found, the complete switch
f
must be replaced. Replacement of individual
parts or assemblies is not permitted.
Check the device for proper function at regular
f
intervals and after every fault. For informa-
) for safety
tion about possible time intervals, refer to
EN ISO 14119:2013, section 8.2.
Do not grease guard locking pin.
f
Inspection of the following is necessary to ensure
trouble-free long-term operation:
correct switching function
f
secure mounting of all components
f
damage, heavy contamination, dirt and wear
f
sealing of cable entry
f
loose cable connections or plug connectors.
f
Info: The year of manufacture can be seen in the
bottom, right corner of the type label.
Exclusion of liability and warranty
In case of failure to comply with the conditions for
correct use stated above, or if the safety regula-
tions are not followed, or if any servicing is not
performed as required, liability will be excluded and
the warranty void.
Notes about
The following information applies to devices
with cable entry:
For use and applications as per the requirements
of
, a copper wire for the temperature range
60/75 °C is to be used.
The following information applies to devices
with plug connector:
For use and applications as per the requirements of
, a Class 2 power supply according to UL1310
must be used. Connecting cables for safety switches
installed at the place of use must be separated
from all moving and permanently installed cables
and un-insulated active elements of other parts
of the system that operate at a voltage of over
150 V. A constant clearance of 50.8 mm must be
maintained. This does not apply if the moving cables
are equipped with suitable insulation materials that
possess an identical or higher dielectric strength
compared to the other relevant parts of the system.
