The Schmersal range of products is not intended for private consumers. 1.1 Function This document provides all the information you need for the mounting, set-up and commissioning to ensure the safe operation and disassembly of the switchgear. The operating instructions enclosed with the device must always be kept in a legible condition and accessible.
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.
For special versions, which are not listed in the ordering code, these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to the standard version. 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.
unauthorised spare parts or accessories. 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.

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.
To avoid any interference inherent to this kind of system and any reduction of the switching distances, please observe the following guidelines: 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...

With the combination of "old sensor - new actuator (V2)" there may be limitations in availability owing to the reduced s mm). This change has no affect on the performance level. The side allows for a maximum height misalignment (X) of sensor and actuator of ± 8 mm (e.g. mounting tolerance or due to guard door sagging).
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.

7 Working principle and diagnostic function 7.1 Mode of operation of the safety outputs The safety outputs can be integrated into the safety circuit of the control system. The opening of a safety guard, i.e. the actuator is removed out of the active zone of the sensor, will immediately disable the safety outputs of the sensor.

Error Errors which no longer guarantee the function of the safety switchgear (internal errors) cause the safety outputs to be disabled within the duration of risk. After fault rectification, the error message is reset by opening and re-closing the corresponding safety guard. Error warning A fault that does not immediately endanger the safety function of the safety switchgear (e.g.

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.
