1.4 Overview
Use the SI-RF Radio Frequency Safety Switch to monitor the position of a guard to detect its movement, opening, or
removal. A "guard" can be a gate, door, cover, panel, barrier or other physical means that separates an individual from a
hazard. Safety switches will issue a signal to the machine control system to prevent or stop (halt) hazardous situations when
the guard is not in the proper position. The SI-RF Safety Switch is designed for non-locking guarding applications, unless
another means of locking is provided.
The SI-RF Safety Switch is considered a Type 4 interlocking device per ISO 14119 that are actuated by an electronic field
interacting with the coded actuator typically mounted on the guard. Different levels of coded sensors are available: low,
high, and unique.
Applications involving the use of the SI-RF Safety Switch should take into consideration the following standards:
• ISO 13849-1/2 - Safety of Machinery - Safety Related Parts of Control Systems
• ISO 12100 - Safety of Machinery - Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction
• ISO 14119 - Safety of Machinery - Interlocking Devices Associated with Guards
• ANSI B11.0 - Safety of Machinery - General Requirements and Risk Assessment
• ANSI B11.19 - Performance Criteria for Safeguarding
The SI-RF Safety Switch can be used individually or in series. A series string can consist of 1 to 32 units. The redundant
safety inputs are only used for the serial connection of sensors (for an individual unit or last in the string they get tied to +24
V dc). The redundant safety outputs can be used for serial connection of sensors or for the connection to the safety related
parts of the control system.
