1.3 Overview The SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch with guard locking capability can be used to monitor the position of a guard to detect its movement, opening, or removal.
SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch 2 Installation Instructions 2.1 Installation Requirements The following general requirements and considerations apply to the installation of interlocked gates and guards for the purpose of safeguarding. In addition, the user must refer to the relevant regulations and comply with all necessary requirements.
SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch WARNING: • The hazard must be accessible only through the sensing field • Incorrect system installation could result in serious injury or death. • The installation of the SI-GL42 Interlock Switch must prevent any individual from reaching around, under, over or through the defined area and into the hazard without being detected.
SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch Important: It is the responsibility of the machine builder (user) to make sure the wiring/cabling is not easily manipulated by an operator to defeat the safety function(s); for example, cannot remove a switch from the system.

SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch CAUTION: If the escape release mechanism is used, the switch must be mounted within the hazardous area (must be accessible to an operator inside the hazardous area). The escape release mechanism should only be used to exit the hazardous area in case of a system failure. The escape release mechanism must not be accessible from outside of the hazardous area.

SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch 2. Place the mechanism onto the cover with the lock and unlock symbols toward the head of the switch and the side notches positioned over the cover mounting screws. 3. Secure into place with the included mounting screws (torque to 0.5 N·m).
Perform a risk assessment to determine the means of interfacing the switch(es) with the machine control circuit. Although Banner Engineering always recommends the highest level of safety in any application, it is the responsibility of the user to safely install, operator and maintain each safety system and comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

SI-GL42 Series Locking-Style Safety Interlock Switch • A reset routing after closing the guard and returning the safety contacts to their closed position. This prevents the controlled machinery from restarting by simply reinserting the safety switch actuators. This necessary reset function is required by ANSI B11.0 and NFPA 79 machine safety standards.
3 Operating Instructions 3.1 Checkout Procedures Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the checkouts as described. However, a qualified person (or team) should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the appropriate frequency of checkouts. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0.
