Scope

These  operating  instructions  are  valid  for  all  CET.-AR-...-AH-...  versions.  These 

operating instructions and the enclosed data sheet form the complete user infor-

mation for your device.

Correct use

The safety switch CET-AR is an electromagnetic interlock device with guard locking.
The safety switch CET-AR can be integrated into an AR switch chain or operated 

as a separate system.
In combination with a safety guard and the machine control, this safety component 

prevents the safety guard from being opened while a dangerous machine move-

ment is being performed.
For the control system, this means that

 Ì

starting commands which cause hazardous situations must become active 

only when the safety guard is in protective position and the guard locking is in 

locked position. The locked position of the guard locking must be released only 

when the hazardous situation is no longer present.

Before safety components are used, a risk assessment must be performed on the 

machine in accordance with

 Ì

EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems. 

General principles for design, Annex B

 Ì

EN ISO 12100, Safety of machinery – General principles for design – Risk as-

sessment and risk reduction.

 Ì

IEC 62061, Safety of machinery - Functional safety of safety-related electrical, 

electronic and programmable electronic control systems

Correct use includes compliance with the relevant requirements for installation and 

operation, in particular

The safety switch is only allowed to be operated in conjunction with the intended 

EUCHNER CET actuators and the related connection components from EUCHNER. 

On  the  use  of  different  actuators  or  other  connection  components,  EUCHNER 

provides no warranty for safe function.
Connection of several devices in an AR switch chain is permitted only using devices 

intended for series connection in an AR switch chain. Check this in the instructions 

of the device in question.
A maximum of 20 safety switches are allowed to be operated in a switch chain.
