persons and/or damage of the machines can occur.
Information
Helpful additional information
1 .4 Scope of application
The described products have been developed to be a part of an overall system or machine
for non-safety related applications in process and automation technology. The manufacturer
of the plant or machine is responsible for ensuring the correct overall function of the system.
If a safety sensor, e.g. SAFIX, is installed and used for a safety function, observe the operating
manual of the respective safety sensor.
1 .5 Attention: Safety instructions
Observe the safety instructions in the operating manual, which are identified by an above
symbol for caution or warning. Follow national installation, safety and accident prevention
regulations. For additional technical information refer to SSP data sheets or visit our website
at www.safety-products.de.
All information is supplied without liability. We reserve the right to make technical mod-
ifications for reasons of improvement. No remaining risks are known, if the safety notes
and instructions regarding assembly, installation, operation and maintenance are followed.
1 .6 Attention: Incorrect use
Danger to persons or damages to parts of machines or installations can arise as a result of
inappropriate or incorrect use or manipulation of the process guard locking. The process guard
locking HOLDX L1 without additional safety sensor does not comply with the requirements
of EN ISO 13849-1 or ISO 14119 for safety locking devices. Please observe the related
information in the standard ISO 14119.
It is prohibited to use with HOLDX L1 spare parts or accessories, which have not been
expressly approved by the manufacturer.
1 .7 Liability Disclaimer
We accept no liability for damages or operational malfunctions resulting from improper
installation or failure to comply with this operating manual. No other liability is accepted
by the manufacturer for damages resulting from use of spare parts or accessories, which
have not been approved by the manufacturer. Any unauthorized repairs, reconstructions and
modifications are not permitted for safety reasons and rule out liability of the manufacturer
for resulting damages.
2 . Product Description
2 .1 Intended use
The device can only be used in industrial applications
2 .2 Design types
This operating manual is valid for the following design types:
HOLDX L1 connector via M12 5-pin male contact
HOLDX L1
HOLDX L1 anchor plate
2 .3 Special design types
For special design types, that are not listed under 2.2 type code, the above and following
information is accordingly applicable if they correspond to the standard design.
2 .4 Intended use
HOLDX L1 is a magnetic process guard locking. It is an electro-technical component and
cannot be operated without the corresponding anchor plate. The electrical process guard
locking can be completed with an appropriate safety sensor. RFID safety sensor “SAFIX” is an
example of a suitable sensor. The process guard locking does not assume the safety function.
Information
Observe the installation regulations of the applied sensors. HOLDX L1 can lock
a door or a flap with a locking force of up to 1200 N.
2 .5 Mode of operation
The magnetic process guard locking with locking force monitoring (e.g. if the solenoid
surface is soiled, it is detected and reported that the locking force is too low, see Table 2).
