General Data

• Safety contacts: 1 N.C.
• Auxiliary contacts: 1 N.O.
• Enclosure  rating:
• NEMA 1
• IP66, IP67, IP69K
• Rugged die cast housing

Principles, Standards, and Implementation

Before installation in a safety application, perform a risk 
assessment to determine whether the specifications of this device 
are suitable for foreseeable operational and environmental 
characteristics of the machine which is to be controlled. Only the 
normally closed set of contacts are considered safety contacts. 
When deploying these limit switches in a safety system 
application, all applicable standards for application should be 
followed. Operating specifications must be followed. The actuator 
must be placed beyond the point where Direct Opening Action 
occurs. Do not use these devices to directly control a motor.

ATTENTION

To avoid electrical shock and unintended operation of equipment, 
disconnect all power to the limit switch and the controlled 
equipment before proceeding with any repair or adjustment of 
the limit switch.

Improper selection or installation of the devices affect the integrity of the safety 
systems. 

Personnel injury or death, property damage or economic loss can result. 

Comply with ISO 14119 including selection, accessibility to the installation, 
arrangement and fastening, possible substitute actuation, access to the escape release, 
motivation to defeat, and actuation mode. 

Management controls, working procedures, training, and additional protective 
measures should be used to minimize the motivation to defeat and to manage the use 
and availability of spare actuators.

Comply with ISO 13857 and ISO 13855 for guard openings and minimum (safe) 
distances.

Comply with IEC 62061 or ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2 for functional safety.

Installation of Allen-Bradley Guardmaster products should be in 
accordance with local and/or national codes. Servicing energized

IMPORTANT

industrial control equipment can be hazardous if not in accordance with recommended 
safety procedures.

EN ISO 14119 replaces EN 1088 as the harmonized standard for interlocking devices 
associated with guards.

Electrical life is dependent on load, therefore, operations are not 
applicable and withdrawn.

ISO 14119 defines types of interlocking devices and coding:

  The products shown on this document conform with the Essential Health and 

Safety Requirements (EHSRs) of the European Machinery Directive. They are third party
