Mounting the actuator
Approach
1.
Select a position for the actuator on the movable physical guard. Select the
position in such a way that the actuator is inserted into the safety switch when the
movable physical guards closes.
For flexible actuators, the actuator tongue can be rotated in 90° increments if
necessary. To do so, press and rotate the actuator tongue in the actuator.
2.
Attach the actuator to the movable physical guard.
Minimum requirement for mounting screws
°
Design: Use one way screws to make unauthorized removal of the actuator
difficult (manipulation protection).
