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 safety sensor can be used for monitoring the position of movable 

guards and flaps in explosion-endangered areas of Zone 2 and 22 

category 3GD. Installation and maintenance requirements to the 

standard series EN 60079 must be met. For the actuation of the safety 

sensors, only the EX-BPS 33 actuator can be used. 

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

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

The safety switchgears are classified according to  

ISO 14119 as type 4 interlocking devices.

Only the entire system consisting of the safety sensor (EX-BNS), the 

actuator (EX-BPS) and the safety-monitoring module (AES/SRB/AZR) 

meet the requirements of the standard IEC 60947-5-3.

Conditions for safe operation

Due to their specific impact energy, the components must be fitted 

with a protection against mechanical stresses. The specific ambient 

temperature range must be observed. The user must provide for a 

protection against the permanent influence of UV rays. The energy 

restriction for LED versions (24 V/10 mA) must be ensured by the user.

The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in 

accordance with the relevant standards and 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.
