Actuation positions and travel directions
4 actuation positions
The sensor and actuator operate in four permissible actuation positions.
The actuation position describes the orientation of the sensor and actuator towards one
another, when both components are mounted to the safety equipment, and the safety equip-
ment is closed.
Center offset
There is a center offset when the tips of the arrows on the printing of the sensor and actuator
are
not
on one line in the closed state.
3 travel directions
There are three possible travel directions in each actuation position, in which the actuator
can approach the sensor.
Observe the
orientation of the arrow
on the sensor and actuator in order to ensure the
following:
–
Permissible actuation position according to the illustration (A, B, C, D)
–
Alignment of the sensor and actuator without center offset
