1.7  Exclusion of liability

We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from 

defective mounting or failure to comply with this operating instructions 

manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages 

resulting from the use of 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.

2.  Product description

2.1  Ordering code

This operating instructions manual applies to the following types:

AZ 415-02/02YPK-2537-1

Only if the information described in this operating instructions 

manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefore 

the compliance with the Machinery Directive is maintained.

2.2  Special versions

For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1, 

these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to 

the standard version.

2.3  Purpose

Safety switches with separate actuators are suitable for movable safety 

guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary operational 

security.

The safety switches are used for applications, in which the hazardous 

situation is terminated without delay when the safety guard is opened.

Operating principle

By closing the safety guard, switch insert S1 is released and switch insert 

S2 actuated (differentiated operating principle). When the actuator is fully 

inserted, the safety guard is not subject to any ejection force.

When the safety guard is opened, the NC contacts are positively 

opened.

The safety switchgears are classified according to  

ISO 14119 as type 2 interlocking devices.

The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in 

 accordance with the relevant standards and on the required 

safety level.

The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety 

component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant 

standards.

If multiple safety components are wired in series, the Performance 

Level to ISO 13849-1 will be reduced due to the restricted error 

detection under certain circumstances.

3.  Mounting

3.1  General mounting instructions

The mounting holes are accessible after removal of the cover.  

The enclosure must not be used as an end stop. Any mounting position.  

The mounting position however must be chosen so that the ingress of 

dirt and soiling in the used opening is avoided.

Mounting of the actuators:

 See mounting instructions actuators.

Please observe the remarks of the standards ISO 12100, 

EN 953 and ISO 14119.

The safety component and the actuator must be 

permanently fitted to the safety guards and protected 

against displacement by suitable measures (tamperproof 

screws, gluing, drilling, pinning).
