SG-C1-21

 series is a device used for enabling a machine (robot, etc.) when teaching the 

machine in a hazardous area manually. Configure the enabling system so that the machine 

can operate when the switch is in position 2 and an additional "start" is pushed to initiate the 

operation.

・ 

In order to ensure safety of the control system, connect each pair of the contacts of the 3 

position enabling switch (terminal No.NO1-C1 and NO2-C2) to a discrepancy detection circuit 

such as a safety relay module. (ISO13849-1)

・ 

The base and the plastic part of rubber boot frame are made of glass-reinforced ABS/PBT.

The rubber boot is made of silicone rubber.

The screw is made of iron. When cleaning the 

SG-C1-21

 series, use a detergent compatible 

with the materials.

・ 

Do not press the rubber boot with excessive pressure to an inappropriate direction.

・ 

As for momentary pushbutton switch and key selector switch of additional control unit, do not 

connect NO and NC contacts of a microswitch to different voltages or different power sources 

to prevent a dead short-circuit.

・ 

Do not operate key selector switch of additional control unit without completely insertion of the 

key.

・ 

The rubber boot may deteriorate depending on the operating environment and conditions.

・ 

Use proper size wires to meet voltage and current requirements.

・ 

Do not apply an excessive shock to the 

SG-C1-21

 series.

・ 

Wire the switch correctly after reading a catalog or this instruction sheet.

・ 

When wiring, prevent dust, water, or oil from entering the grip switch. 

・ 

If used in wet locations, this device must be used with cable suitable for wet locations.

・ 

If multiple safety components are wired in series, the Performance Level to EN ISO 13849-1 

will be reduced due to the restricted error detection under certain circumstance.

・ 

The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety component is integrated, must 

be validated to EN ISO 13849-2.

・ 

Turn off the power to the 

SG-C1-21

 series before starting installation, removal, wiring, 

maintenance, and inspection. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.

・ 

Do not disassemble or modify the switch. Also do not attempt to disable the grip switch 

function, otherwise a breakdown or an accident will result.

・ 

When using the 

SG-C1-21

 series for safety-related equipment in a control system, refer to the 

safety standards and regulations in each country and region depending on the application 

purpose of the actual machines and installations to make sure of correct operation.

Also, perform risk assessment to make sure of safety before starting operation.

・ 

Do not tie the grip switch around the button with a tape or string to keep the switch in position 

2. Otherwise the original function of the switch is not utilized, posing a great risk of danger.

・ 

Please note that permanent installation of the grip switch at the machine is inadmissible.

SG-C1-21□

)

Note: Push monitor switch (terminal No.31-32) will be positive opening circuit (    ) when the 

switch operates from position 2 to 3.

Use contacts of terminal No.NO1-C1 and NO2-C2 for the output of enabling system.

The above operating characteristics illustrate the performance when the center of the 

rubber boot is pressed. Pressing the edge activates one of the two 3 position enabling 

switches inside earlier than the other, and may cause a delay in the operation of the 

SG-C1-21

 series.

Note: Pay attention to the polarity of the power 

supply as UP series units do not contain a 

diode for protection against reverse polarity. 

On solder terminal units, the terminal with a 

white paint marking is positive.

Applicable Wire Size in Terminal

Direct wiring: Max 0.5 mm² (AWG 20)

Wire 

SG-C1-21

 series according to IEC60204-1

Wiring Instruction

Solder the terminal at 310 to 350ºC within 3 seconds using a 60W soldering iron. Sn-Ag-Cu 

type is recommended when using leadfree solder.

When soldering, do not touch the control unit with the soldering iron. Also ensure that no 

tensile force is applied to the terminal. Do not bend the terminal or apply excessive force to 

the terminal.

Use non-corrosive rosin flux.

Because the terminal spacing is narrow, use protective tubes or heat shrinkable tubes to avoid 

burning of wire coating or short circuit.

When using a stranded wire, make sure that adjoining terminals are not short-circuited with 

protruding core wires.

Use copper Wire 60/75 degree C only. (UL508)

The wiring has to be installed according to GS-ET-22, 4.2.6.

* When installing 

SG-C1-21

 series on the walls, attach hand strap to 

SG-C1-21

 series and hang 

on a hook.

The torques of screws B and C in the table above are 

values when the connector described in (3) is used. 

When using a cable gland other than the recommended 

cable gland in (3), refer to the specification of the cable 

gland to be used.
