6.2.3 Lead Wiring Options
Tapeswitch edge sensors are normally supplied with one of the following options:
a. (2) 2-conductor cables (see specific edge specifications for identification - may exit OE or EE) – Standard.
b. (1) 2-conductor cable (with appropriate EOL resistor on termination end).
c. (1) 4-conductor cable (special order) - see PRSU/4 or PRSU/5 manual for wire diagram.
Note:
NON – FAIL-SAFE edges are available upon request. These feature a single 2-conductor cable and are
unsuitable for any safety application. Please contact
for non-fail-safe sensor options.
Non-fail-safe
edges can
NOT
be made
FAIL-SAFE.
For applications where multiple edge sensors are required, the "EE" (lead exits each end) ordering code must be
specified. This ensures that multiple edges can be connected by daisy-chain since both head and tail connections
are provided. If an “EOL” resistor is warranted, such as in systems employing a PSSR/2, the final edge in the
daisy-chain will only have a single 2-conductor cable, with an internal end-of-line resistor terminating the entire
assembly.
Tapeswitch safety edge sensors are manufactured with the following types of cable configurations:
a)
Two – 2-conductor cable (four termination points) utilizing one of the following configurations below:
PRSU/5 and PSRU/4 connection - Figure 13
i)
Two sets of BLACK/WHITE wires
Or:
ii)
Two sets of black, ribbed/smooth zip-cord wires (one conductor has a ribbed jacked,
one conductor has a smooth jacket).
