operation of this equipment before you install. Users are required to
familiarize themselves with installation and connection instructions and
requirements of all applicable codes, laws, and standards.In accordance with
applicable codes of practice, suitably trained personnel are required to
implement installation, adjustments, service initiation, use, assembly,
disassembly, and maintenance. If this equipment is used in a manner that the
manufacturer does not specify, the protection that is provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
ATTENTION: The presence of spare actuators can compromise the integrity
of safety systems. Personal injury or death, property damage, or economic
loss can result. Appropriate management controls, working procedures, and
alternative protective measures should be introduced to control their use and
availability.
WARNING: Do not defeat, tamper, remove, or bypass this unit. Severe injury to
personnel could result.

Operating voltage is 24V DC +10%/-15% Class 2 SELV or PELV power supply.
Recommended Mating Cable
The standard cable lengths are 2 m, 5 m, and 10 m. Use catalog number 889D-F8AB-2 [2 m (6.5 ft)] for the
standard length. Replace the 2 with 5 [5 m (16.4 ft)] or 10 [10 m (32.8 ft)] for other standard cable lengths.
IMPORTANT
When the MC2 is used with any MSR100 series relay, for the diagnostic
function to operate correctly the red and gray wires (Safety A) must be
connected to S11 and S12.

Mounting Information
Use nonremovable screws, bolts, or nuts to mount the switch and actuator. Do not over torque the
mounting hardware. It is recommended to use M3 screws and washers throughout.
Maximum torque is 1 N•m (8.86 in•lb). Use nonmagnetic mounting hardware.
Position the switch and actuator so they are aligned with each other.
Mounting for Maximum Misalignment
Mount the sensor to the fixed part of the guard and the actuator to the movable section. Keep the sensor
and actuator within the sensing range detailed as shown in
Minimum distance between sensors is 50 mm (1.97 in.).
IMPORTANT
To obtain maximum switching distance, center the switches ±4 mm (0.24 in.).
Figure 2 - Sensor Alignment
To obtain maximum switching
distance center switches
± 4 mm (0.16 in.)
To prevent damage, it is recommended that a 2 mm (0.08 in.)
gap be maintained between the actuator and sensor.
To prevent damage, it is recommended
that a 2 mm (0.08 in.) gap be maintained
