0 V UB Blue Do not connect The wire colour also applies for the cable available from Pilz as an accessory. Connection to evaluation devices Please note: The power supply must meet the regulations for extra low voltages with safe separation (SELV, PELV).
Extension of delay-on de-energisation When several units are connected in series, the delay-on de-energisation time increases in direct proportion to the number of interconnected safety switches.

The distance between two safety switches must be maintained (see Technical De- tails [ 20]). Safety switches and actuators Should not be exposed to heavy shock or vibration and Should not be used as a limit stop. Operating Manual PSEN 4.2a/b/p/M12 22188-EN-02...
The inscribed area on the actuator (sensing face) should face the safety switch. Slide the actuator on to the screws. Align the safety switch and tighten the screws. Align the actuator and tighten the screws. Operating Manual PSEN 4.2a/b/p/M12 22188-EN-02...
Orthogonal assembly Drill holes in the mounting surface (see mensions [ 19]) and cut threads in the holes for M4 screws. Use a screw to fix the safety switch in place. Operating Manual PSEN 4.2a/b/p/M12 22188-EN-02...
