Zander Aachen ZCode-RC User Manual

Coded Non Contact Safty Magnetic Switch ZCode -RC(E)
User Manual
ZCode-RC/RCE are coded tamperproof magnetic safety switches
Correct Use
with transistor output. They are simple to install, completely
dust- and waterproofed and can switch with no contact. Anything
other than the ZCode actuator will not trigger the switch. In
combination with a Safety relay ( e.g. ZANDER SR-Series, MINOS
SD-Series), a safety logic device (e.g. ZANDER MINOS SL-Series)
or a safety PLC (e.g. ZANDER TALOS-Series) the switches are self-
monitoring with short-circuit monitoring. (ZCode-RCE as stain-
less steel type for rough and hygiene critical environments and
applications)
Coded sensor with LED - high degree of anti tamper.

ZCode-RCE Stainless Steel switches for applications in

rough environments and high hygiene requirements, e.g.
food, pharma and process industry (CIP, SIP cleaning)
High operational life without moving or touching parts

Super compact dimensions

Function Coded magnetic non contact safety switches ZCode are
designed to interlock hinge, sliding or removal guard doors
(see Fig. 1).
The outputs of the ZCode will be switched off, if the guard
door is opened whereupon the safety outputs of the wired
emergency stop device shut down the system securely.
The ZCode operates contactless with an coded magnetic
sensing system which provides a wide sensing distance
(up to 10 mm) and provides a high tolerance to
misalignment. They can be fitted behind stainless steel and
can operate from 4 directions even in dusty, hot and humid
environments.

Mounting
The switch must be inserted into a 30.5 mm through hole
and fastened with the provided lock nuts. M4 mounting
bolts must be used to fix the actuator, max. tightening
torque is 2 Nm. Always mount on to non ferrous materials.
The recommended setting gap is 5 mm.
The safety switches mustn't be used as a mechanical stop.
The actuators must not be allowed to strike the switch. An
adjustment by striking with a hammer is inadmissible.
Switches mounted next to each other require a minimum
distance of 30 mm. Typical misalignment tolerance after
setting is 5 mm in any plane/direction (see Fig. 3).
Safety
Precautions  Installation and commissioning of the device must be
carried out only by competent personnel with
priate experience of machine control integration, who
have read and understood these user manual .
 Observe the country-specific regulations when installing
the device.
The electrical connection of the device is only allowed to

be made with the device isolated.
The wiring of the device must comply with the instruc-

tions in this user information, otherwise there is a risk
that the safety function will be lost.

 It is not allowed to open the device, tamper with the
device or bypass the safety guards.
appro-
 All relevant safety regulations and standards are to be
observed.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the correct

overall functionality of its systems and machines.
 Failure to observe the safety regulations can result in
death, serious injury and serious damage.
 The Risk Assessment for the particular application should
include the risk of spare actuators. Spare actuators
should not be readily available and must be securely
controlled.
