3.3  Axial misalignment

A horizontal and vertical misalignment of the safety sensor and the 
actuator is tolerated. The possible misalignment depends on the  
distance of the active surfaces of the sensor and the actuator. The 
sensor remains active within the tolerance range.
The specified switching distances refer to opposedly mounted safety 
sensors and actuators.

3.4  Adjustment

Recommended Adjustment

Align the safety sensor and actuator at a distance  
of 0.5 x s

ao

 .

For setting the distance between the sensor and the actuator, the  
BNS 250-11ZG and BNS 250-12ZG are equipped with a LED. The LED 
of the BNS 250 variants can only be used as a rough setting tool. As 
the LED is integrated in the NO circuit of the safety sensor and since 
under certain operational circumstances or due to tolerances, the case 
may happen that both outputs in the safety sensor do not operate ex-
actly simultaneously, the LED cannot be the only criterion for a correct 
adjustment. The proper functionality must always be checked by means 
of the connected safety-monitoring module.

4.  Electrical connection

4.1  General information for electrical connection

The electrical connection may only be carried out by autho-
rised personnel in a de-energised condition. 

The safety sensors must be wired in accordance with the wire colours 
or the pin configuration.

4.2  Contact variants

The contact position shows the actuated sensor function when the safe-
ty guard is closed. For safety sensors with LED, the LED is illuminated 
when the safety guard is open.
