1.6  Warning about misuse

In case of improper use or manipulation of the safety switch-

gear, personal hazards or damages to machinery or plant 

components cannot be excluded. The relevant requirements 

of the standard ISO 14119 must be observed.

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.

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  Comprehensive quality insurance to 2006/42/EC

Schmersal is a certified company to appendix X of the Machinery 

Directive. As a result, Schmersal is entitled to autonomously conduct 

the conformity assessment procedure for the products listed in 

Appendix IV of the MD without involving a notified body. The prototype 

test certificates are available upon request or can be downloaded from 

the Internet at www.schmersal.com.

2.4  Purpose

This non-contact, electronic safety sensor is designed for application 

in safety circuits and is used for monitoring the position of movable 

safety guards. In this application, the safety sensor monitors the closed 

position of hinged, sliding or removable safety guards by means of the 

coded electronic CST 34 or CST 180 actuators (refer to table "Actuators 

and switching distances").

The safety function consists of safely switching off the safety outputs 

when the safety guard is opened and maintaining the safe switched off 

condition of the safety outputs for as long as the safety guard is open.

The sensor additionally executes functions of a safety-monitoring 

module. At both safety outputs, two auxiliary contactors

1) 

or relays

1)

 

can be connected, whose safety-related function is checked by the 

sensor by means of a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit includes 

the series-wiring of the NC contacts of the auxiliary contactors

1)

 or 

relays

1)

. For the F0 version, a so-called "enabling switch" (without 

safety function) can be integrated in this feedback circuit. For the F1 

version, a so-called "reset button" is required, which is monitored for a 

trailing edge. This function corresponds to the "manual reset function" 

to ISO 13849-1.

1)

 with positive-guided contacts to IEC 60947-5-1 or EN 50205

The safety switchgears are classified according to 

ISO 14119 as type 4 switching devices.

Series-wiring

Series-wiring can be set up. Response and risk times remain 

unchanged by series-wiring. The number of devices is limited for 

safety reasons. The self-monitoring safety sensors of the CSS 34F0 or 

CSS 34F1 series can replace the safety-monitoring module. Therefore, 

they can only be used as first sensor of a series-wired sensor chain 

(refer to operating instructions CSS 34F0 / CSS 34F1).

Series-wiring of up to 31 CSS 34F0 or CSS 34F1… SD devices with 

serial diagnostics is possible. A 200 m long sensor chain can be set up. 

In devices with the serial diagnostics function (ordering suffix -SD), the 

serial diagnostics connections are wired in series and connected to a 

SD Gateway for evaluation purposes.

The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in 

accordance with the relevant standards and the required 

safety level.

If multiple safety sensors are involved in the same safety 

function, the PFH values of the individual components must 

be added.

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

component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant 

standards.
