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
The magnetic reed switches BN 20 with two contacts are designed to
monitor the position of movable safety guards according to ISO 14119.
The magnetic reed switch is classified as uncoded switchgear
type 3 in accordance with ISO 14119.
Only the listed magnets may be used for actuation of the magnetic reed
switch. Only these magnets can guarantee flawless function and repeat
accuracy. With suitable evaluation and concealed installation, the
requirements for safety applications up to PL e in accordance with
ISO 13849-1 can be satisfied.
