Warning:Failure to comply with this warning notice could lead to physical injury and/or damage to the machine. 1.4 Appropriate use Products in Schmersal's range are not intended to be used by private end consumers. The products described in these operating instructions are developed to execute safety-related functions as part of an entire plant or machine.
The user must observe the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the country specific installation standards as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules. Further technical information can be found in the Schmersal catalogues or in the online catalogue on the Internet: products.schmersal.com.
2.3 Purpose This non-contact, electronic safety sensor is designed for application in safety circuits and is used for monitoring the position of movable safety guards. In this application, the safety sensor monitors the position of hinged, sliding or removable safety guards by means of the coded electronic actuator. The safety function consists of safely switching off the safety outputs when the safety guard is opened and maintaining the safe switched off condition of the safety outputs for as long as the safety guard is open.
For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary repairs, conversions and modifications to the device are strictly forbidden, the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resulting from such invasive work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or modifications to the device. 3 Technical Data Approvals - Standards Certificates...

This device complies with the nerve stimulation limits (ISED CNR-102) when operated at a minimum distance of 100 In the event of changes or modifications that have not been expressly approved by K.A. Schmersal GmbH & Co. KG, the user's authorisation to use the device may become ineffective.
The presence of metal chips in the vicinity of the sensor is liable to modify the switching distance. Keep away from metal chips Minimum distance 100 mm between two safety sensors as well as other systems with same frequency (125 kHz) The actuator must be permanently fitted to the safety guards and protected against displacement by suitable measures (tamperproof screws, gluing, drilling of the screw heads).

There are new switch distances as per the table below owing to the necessity of technical modifications (V2). Please check the design of your guard system following installation to ensure adherence to the secured switch distances (≤ s and ≥ s ) in accordance with the specified values and adjust the guard system accordingly.
Requirements for the connected safety-monitoring module: dual-channel safety input, suitable for p-type sensors with NO function Information for the selection of suitable safety-monitoring modules can be found in the Schmersal catalogues or in the online catalogue on the Internet: products.schmersal.com.
For convenient wiring and series-wiring of SD components, the SD junction boxes PFB-SD-4M12-SD (variant for the field) and PDM-SD-4CC-SD (variant for control cabinet on carrier rail) are available along with additional comprehensive accessories. Detailed information is available on the Internet, products.schmersal.com. 5.3 Wiring examples for series-wiring Series-wiring can be set up.
Y1 and Y2 = Safety outputs → Safety monitoring module Wiring example 2: series-wiring of the RSS 36 with serial diagnostic function In devices with the serial diagnostics function (ordering suffix -SD), the serial diagnostics connections are wired in series and connected to a SD-Gateway for evaluation purposes. The voltage is supplied to both safety inputs of the last safety sensor of the chain (considered from the safety-monitoring module).

Gateway is integrated as a slave in an existing field bus system. In this way, the diagnostic signals can be evaluated by means of a PLC. The necessary software for the integration of the SD-Gateway is available for download at products.schmersal.com. The response data and the diagnostic data are automatically and permanently written in the assigned input byte of the PLC for each safety sensor in the series-wired chain.
