Mechanical Installation
WARNING: Hazard Point
It must not be possible for personnel to reach any hazard point through an opened guard (or any
opening) before hazardous machine motion has completely stopped.
Please reference OSHA CFR 1910.217 and ANSI B11 standards for information on determining safety
distances and safe opening sizes for your guarding devices.
All mounting hardware is supplied by the user. Fasteners must be of sufficient strength to guard against breakage. Use of permanent
fasteners or locking hardware is recommended to prevent loosening or displacement of the actuator and the switch body. The mounting
holes in the switch body and the actuator accept M6 screws (see
on page 5).
Ensure that excessive force is not exerted by the weight and swing of the guard, gate, or door (see
Position blank hinges (if used) and the hinge switch(es) on the guard or gate while it is in its fully closed and latched position. Verify that
the axis of rotation is identical for all hinges used. (Typically, this can be accomplished by using a straight edge along the long flat edge to
ensure the switch bodies are parallel.) After the mounting hardware is secure, check the rotation of the guard or gate for misalignment
and binding.
NOTE: A safety switch must be installed in a manner that discourages tampering or defeat.
