How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. The switch is mounted using the provided dimensions, ensuring the actuator is correctly aligned with the moving part of the machine. Connect the wiring through the Pg 11 cable entry, ensuring that the cable gland is properly tightened to maintain the IP67 seal. Once installed, perform a functional test to verify that the safety circuit triggers correctly when the switch is actuated.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the Pg 11 cable entry matches your existing conduit or cable gland requirements.
• Ensure the 1 NC + 1 NO contact configuration meets the logic requirements of your safety controller.
• Check that the physical dimensions are compatible with the available mounting space on your machinery.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the switch for mechanical wear and ensure that the cable entry remains tightly sealed to preserve the IP67 protection rating throughout the service life of the device.
