Description
These switches are used on machines where the hazardous conditions remain for a while, even after the machine has been switched off, for
example because of mechanical inertia of pulleys, saw disks, parts under pressure or with high temperatures. They can also be used when it is
necessary to control machine guards, allowing the opening of protections only under specific conditions.

Limits of utilization
Thanks to recent mechanical improvement the strong
interlocking system guarantees a maximum actuator
holding force of 1100 N (head
96).
Do not use where dust and dirt may penetrate in any way into the
head and deposit there, in particular where metal dust, concrete or
chemicals are spread.
Do not use where explosive or inflammable gas is present.
Use Atex products in environments with explosion hazard (see page
2/137)

Description
The working principle of these safety switches allows three different working states:
state A : with the actuator inserted and blocked by the solenoid
state B : with the actuator inserted but not blocked
state C : with the actuator extracted
All or some of these states may be controlled through the positive opening contacts of the internal contact block. In detail, contact blocks that
) are switched in the transition between the state A and state B, while the
have electric contacts marked with the symbol of the solenoid (
electric contacts marked with the symbol of the actuator (
) are switched between state B and state C:

and working principle D

Electronic circuit
It is also possible to choose between two working principles for the actuator locking:
- Working principle D: Actuator blocked with de-energized solenoid. Actuator release is obtained by power supply to the solenoid (see example
of working cycle steps).
- Working principle E: Actuator blocked with energized solenoid. The unlock of the actuator is obtained by power-off to the solenoid. It is
advisable to use this version under special conditions because a blackout will allow the immediate opening of the protection.
This series of products includes many technical solutions that result flexible on installation and easy working:
Six different types of stainless steel actuator, suitable to be fixed in several positions and with insertion radius arc equal to or over 80 mm.
Swinging head, in 90 steps, with two actuator entries for easy installation of the switch.
To extract the inserted but not blocked actuator, a 30 N force is necessary, that avoids the guard opening because of vibrations or impacts.
When actuator is locked, it can still move a little (4,5 mm), to avoid that door gaskets keep in traction the actuator on the solenoid.
Housing with three conduit entries for an easier installation or connection in series.
Electronic control of the power supply, which allow a wide tolerance on supply voltage. This technical solution resolves the problems that may
derive from not stable power supply (machine distance from main transformers, tension variation between night/day hours), allowing also a
low solenoid power consumption and consequently enlarging the working temperatures range of the switch.
- No-loosing screws contact blocks, fingers protection, twin bridge contacts and double interruption for a higher contact reliability.
Versions with D working principle are supplied with a sealable auxiliary release device used by technicians during the installation or to access to
inside the machine in case of black-out. The release device may be of sealable type (head 96, see figure A ) or lock type (head 98, see figure B).
In this last case the release device may also be used to allow authorized operators in possession of key to open small protections.
Attention! These switches alone are not suitable for applications where operators with key may physically enter the dangerous area, because
an eventual closing of the door behind them could restart the machine working. In this case must be used the entry locking device VF KB1 that
is visible on page 4/79.

IMPORTANT:
NC contact has to be considered with inserted
actuator and lock by the lock. In safety applications it
is necessary to activate the switch at least up to the
positive opening point indicated in the diagrams with
the symbol . Operate the switch at least with the
positive opening force, indicated between brackets,
below each article, next the value of minimum force.
