Correct Use

Safety switches series TP are electromagnetic inter-

lock devices with guard locking.
In combination with a separating safety guard and the

machine control, this safety component prevents the

safety guard from being opened while a dangerous

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

f

starting commands which cause hazardous situ-

ations must become active only when the safety

guard is in protective position and the guard locking

is in locked position.

f

The locked position of the guard locking must be

released only when the hazardous situation is no

longer present.

Before safety switches are used, a risk assessment

must be performed on the machine in accordance

with

f

EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety re-

lated parts of control systems. General principles

for design

f

EN ISO 14121, Safety of machinery. Risk assess-

ment. Principles

f

IEC 62061, Safety of machinery – Functional safety

of safety-related electrical, electronic and program-

mable electronic control systems.

Correct use includes compliance with the relevant re-

quirements for installation and operation, particularly

f

EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety re-

lated parts of control systems. General principles

for design

f

EN 1088, Safety of machinery. Interlocking devices

associated with guards. Principles for design and

selection

f

EN 60204-1, electrical equipment of machines

Important:

f

The user is responsible for safe integration of the

device in a safe overall system. For this purpose

the overall system must be validated, e.g. in ac-

cordance with EN ISO 13849-2.

f

If the simplified method according to section 6.3

EN ISO 13849-1:2008 is used for validation, the

Performance Level (PL) may be reduced if several

devices are connected one after the other.

f

If a product data sheet is included with the product,

the information on the data sheet applies in case

of discrepancies with the operating instructions.

Safety Precautions

Safety switches fulfill a personal protection function.

Incorrect installation or tampering can lead to severe

injuries to personnel.

Safety components must not be bypassed

(bridging of contacts), turned away, removed

or otherwise rendered ineffective.

On this topic pay attention in particular to the

measures for reducing the possibility of bypassing

according to EN 1088:1995.A2:2008, sec. 5.7.

The switching operation may only be triggered

by actuators specially provided for this purpose

which are permanently connected to the protec-

tive guard.

Mounting, electrical connection and setup only

by authorized personnel.

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 / deactivation of

the guard locking. During this process the switching

contacts are actuated.

If the cam is blocked, the actuator cannot be pulled

out of the switch head

guard locking active.

Versions TP1, TP3 und TP5

(Guard locking by spring force)

The guard locking pin is held in the locked position by

spring force and unlocked by electromagnetic actua-

tion. The spring interlock guard locking functions in

accordance with the closed-circuit current principle.

The safety guard cannot be opened immediately in

the event of interruption of the solenoid power supply.

Versions TP2, TP4 and TP6

(Guard locking by solenoid force)

This type must be used only in special cases

after strict assessment of the accident risk!

The safety guard can be opened immediately in

the event of interruption of the solenoid power

supply!

The guard locking pin is held in the locked position by

electromagnetic force and released by spring force.

The guard locking operates in accordance with the

open-circuit current principle.

f

Close safety guard and activate guard locking

The guard locking pin is released by insertion of the

actuator into the safety switch.
TP1, TP3 and TP5: The guard locking pin is moved

to locked position by spring force.
TP2, TP4 and TP6: The guard locking pin is moved

to locked position when the solenoid operating volt-

age is applied.
The safety contacts are closed.

f

Deactivate guard locking, open safety guard

TP1/TP5: The guard locking pin releases the cam

when the solenoid operating voltage is applied.
For switching function see Figure 3 column 2 Door

closed and not locked
The actuator can be removed.
TP2/TP6: The guard locking pin releases the cam

when the solenoid operating voltage is switched off.
For switching function see Figure 3 column 2 Door

closed and not locked
The actuator can be removed.
TP3 (with door monitoring contact): The guard locking

pin releases the cam when the solenoid operating

voltage is applied.
For switching function see Figure 3 column 2 Door

closed and not locked
The actuator can be removed.
On the removal of the actuator, the door monitoring

contact switches and signals that the safety guard is

open (see Figure 3 column 3, Door open).
TP4 (with door monitoring contact): The guard locking

pin releases the cam when the solenoid operating

voltage is switched off.
For switching function see Figure 3 column 2 Door

closed and not locked
The actuator can be removed.
On the removal of the actuator, the door monitoring

contact switches and signals that the safety guard is

open (see Figure 3 column 3, Door open).

f

Door request (TP5 and TP6)

When the actuator is in the locked state positively

driven contact 21-22 is opened by pulling the safety

guard (6 mm actuator stroke) as a result of which a

signal is forwarded to the higher-order control sys-

tem. Depending on the control concept, the safety

guard can be unlocked automatically - when machine

components which were still running have stopped.

Mechanical Release

In the event of malfunctions, the guard locking can be

deactivated using the mechanical release, irrespective

of the state of the solenoid (see Figure 2).

f

Unscrew locking screw.

f

Using a screwdriver, turn the mechanical release by

approx. 180° in the direction of the arrow.

The mechanical release or the mechanical key

release must be returned to its original position and

sealed after use (for example with sealing lacquer

or using wire).
Please observe the supplied dimension drawing in

the case of key release.

Lock and Escape Release

On the actuation of the lock or the escape release,

the actuator must not be under tension.
The contacts 21-22 and 41-42 are opened and the

switch mechanically unlocked. The state of contacts

1x-1x and 3x-3x can vary.

Mounting

Safety switches and actuators must not be used

as an end stop.

Mount the safety switch only in assembled condi-

tion!

Caution! Risk of burns due to high surface tem-

perature at ambient temperatures above 40 °C!

Protect switch against touching by personnel or

contact with inflammable material.

Assemble the safety switch so that

f

access to the switch is difficult for operating person-

nel when the safety guard is open.

f

it is possible to operate the mechanical release and

check and replace the safety switch.

f

the escape release can be actuated from the

hazard area.

Fit an additional end stop for the movable part of

the safety guard.

f

Insert the actuator in the actuating head.

f

Mount the safety switch positively.

f

Permanently connect the actuator to the safety

guard so that it cannot be detached, e.g. using the

enclosed non-removable screws, rivets or welding.

Changing the Actuating Direction

Increased overtravel of the actuator with a verti-

cal approach direction is only possible with the

versions TP...K...

Fig. 1: Changing the actuating direction

f

Remove the screws from the actuating head.

f

Set the required direction.

f

Tighten the screws with a torque of 0.6 Nm.

f

Cover the unused actuating slot with the enclosed

slot cover.

Protection Against Environmental Influences

A lasting and correct safety function requires that

the actuating head must be protected against the

penetration of foreign bodies such as swarf, sand,

blasting shot etc.
Cover the actuating slot, the actuator and the rating

plate during painting work.
