CAUTION: End-of-Travel Stop
Do not use the safety switch as a mechanical or end-of-travel stop.
The movement or rotation of the guard must be limited such that damage to the safety switch or the actuator
cannot occur. Catastrophic damage can cause the safety switch to fail in an unsafe manner (that is,
loss of the switching action).
See
on page 10 for additional information.
WARNING: Safety Distances and Safe Openings
It must not be possible for personnel to reach any hazard through an opened guard or by reaching over,
under, around, or through any opening in the guard before the hazardous situation has ceased. See ANSI
B11.19 or ISO 14119, ISO 14120 and ISO 13857 for information on determining safety distances and safe
opening sizes for your guarding device.
Pass-through hazards and Perimeter Guarding
A pass-through hazard is associated with applications where personnel may pass through a safeguard (which issues a stop command to
remove the hazard), and then continues into the guarded area, such as in perimeter guarding. Subsequently, their presence is no longer
detected, and the related danger becomes the unexpected start or restart of the machine while personnel are within the guarded area.
Eliminate or reduce pass-through hazards whenever possible—see ANSI B11.19 and ANSI B11.20 or ISO 11161. One method to miti-
gate the risk is to ensure that once tripped, either the safeguarding device, the safety related part of the control system, or the guarded
machine's MSCs/MPCEs will latch in an OFF condition. The latch must require a deliberate manual action to reset that is separate from
the normal means of machine cycle initiation.
This method relies upon the location of the reset switch as well as safe work practices and procedures to prevent an unexpected start or
restart of the guarded machine. All reset switches must be:
• Outside the guarded area
• Located to allow the switch operator a full, unobstructed view of the entire guarded area while the reset is performed
• Out of reach from within the guarded area
• Protected against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (such as through the use of rings or guards)
If any areas within the guarded area are not visible from the reset switch, additional safeguarding must be provided.
WARNING: Pass-Through Hazards and Perimeter Guarding
Lockout/Tagout procedures per ANSI Z244.1 may be required, or additional safeguarding, as described by
ANSI B11.19 safety requirements or other appropriate standards, must be used if a passthrough hazard
cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level of risk. Failure to observe this warning may result in
serious bodily injury or death.
Mechanical Installation
Important: Install a safety switch in a manner which discourages tampering or defeat. Mount switches to
prevent bypassing of the switching function at the terminal chamber or Quick Disconnect (QD). A switch and
its actuator must never be used as a mechanical stop. Overtravel may cause damage to switch.
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 the loosening or displacement of the actuator and the switch body. The mount-
ing holes in the switch body and the actuator accept M6 screws.
1. Make sure that excessive force is not exerted by the weight and swing of the guard, gate, or door.
2. 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.
