Mount the switch on to the machine frame and the
actuator on to the opening edge of the door. Always try
to mount the switch on non-ferrous material. (
Ferrous
materials may reduce the switching distance.)
Use the tamper proof screws provided to make more
secure.
Do not use the safety switch as a door stop. Leave a
minimum of 50 mm between any adjacent switches.
WRONG!
Minimum 50mm
Leave a 2mm Gap
to prevent damage.

MOUNTING
The MF-2 safety switches can approach each other from
most angles. When the guard is closed the targets on the
printed face of the switch and actuator must be aligned.
EN 1088
Provides some mounting suggestions, see example
opposite.
When fixing the safety switch to a sliding door (A),
ensure that when the door is opened (B) it is not easily
accessible, helping prevent the system being overridden
IMPORTANT: a minimum distance or gap of 2mm must
be maintained between the switch and actuator to
assure proper switch actuation. Failure to maintain this
minimum gap may lead to nuisance faults on the switch
controller unit.
