Operating Instructions
Safety Switch SGP-TW…
(Twin)
Correct use
Safety switches series SGP-TW are interlocking
devices without guard locking (type 2). The actu-
ator has a low coding level. In combination with a
movable guard and the machine control, this safety
component prevents dangerous machine functions
from occurring while the guard is open. A stop
command is triggered if the guard is opened during
the dangerous machine function.
This means:
f
Starting commands that cause a dangerous ma-
chine function must become active only when the
guard is closed.
f
Opening the guard triggers a stop command.
f
Closing a guard must not cause automatic starting
of a dangerous machine function. A separate start
command must be issued. For exceptions, refer to
EN ISO 12100 or relevant C-standards.
Before the device is used, a risk assessment must
be performed on the machine, e.g. in accordance
with the following standards:
f
EN ISO 13849-1
f
EN ISO 12100
f
IEC 62061
Correct use includes observing the relevant require-
ments for installation and operation, particularly
based on the following standards:
f
EN ISO 13849-1
f
EN ISO 14119
f
EN 60204-1
Important!
f
The user is responsible for the proper integration
of the device into a safe overall system. For this
purpose, the overall system must be validated,
e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
f
If the simplified method according to section 6.3
of EN ISO 13849-1:2015 is used for determining
the Performance Level (PL), the PL might be re-
duced if several devices are connected in series.
f
Logical series connection of safe contacts is
possible up to PL d in certain circumstances.
More information about this is available in
ISO TR 24119.
f
If a product data sheet is included with the prod-
uct, the information on the data sheet applies
in case of discrepancies with the operating
instructions.
Safety precautions
WARNING
Danger to life due to improper installation or due
to bypassing (tampering). Safety components
perform a personnel protection function.
f
Safety components must not be bypassed,
turned away, removed or otherwise rendered
ineffective. On this topic pay attention in partic-
ular to the measures for reducing the possibility
of bypassing according to EN ISO 14119:2013,
section 7.
f
The switching operation must be triggered only
by actuators designated for this purpose.
f
Prevent bypassing by means of replacement
actuators. For this purpose, restrict access to
actuators and to keys for releases, for example.
f
Mounting, electrical connection and setup only
by authorized personnel possessing special
knowledge about handling safety components.
CAUTION
Danger due to high housing temperature at ambi-
ent temperatures above 40 °C.
f
Protect switch against touching by personnel or
contact with flammable material.
Function
Safety switches series SGP-TW..
(Twin)
have two
actuator heads. They permit the simultaneous
monitoring of two movable guards.
The switching contacts are actuated on the insertion
of both actuators/the removal of one actuator.
Switching states
The detailed switching states for your switch can
be found in Fig. 4. All available switching elements
are described there.
Guard open
The safety contacts are open.
Guard closed
The safety contacts are closed.
Selection of the actuator
NOTICE
Damage to the device due to unsuitable actuator.
Make sure to select the correct actuator.
Additionally pay attention to the door radius and
the mounting options (see Fig. 3).
The following versions are available:
f
Actuator S for safety switches without insertion
funnel.
Lock function with state indication
(optional)
If the switch has a lock function, the safety circuit
for the drive can be opened and maintained in this
position (see Fig. 1). This prevents unintentional
starting of the system.
Important!
f
The actuator must not be under tensile stress
during manual release.
The lock function setting is indicated in the window.

Mounting
NOTICE
Device damage due to improper mounting and
unsuitable ambient conditions
f
Safety switches and actuators must not be used
as an end stop.
f
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, sections 5.2 and
5.3, for information about mounting the safety
switch and the actuator.
f
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, section 7, for
information about reducing the possibilities for
bypassing an interlocking device.
f
Protect the switch head against damage, as well
as penetrating foreign objects such as swarf,
sand and blasting shot, etc.
f
The specified IP degree of protection is applica-
ble only if the housing screws, cable entries and
plug connectors are properly tightened. Observe
the tightening torques.
Changing the actuating direction
NOTICE
It is not possible to change the position of the
entire head unit.
Fig. 2: Changing the actuating direction
1. Remove the screws from the actuating head.
2. Set the required direction.
3. Tighten the screws with a torque of 0.6 Nm.
4. Cover the unused actuating slot with the en-
closed slot cover.
Electrical connection
WARNING
Loss of the safety function due to incorrect
connection.
f
When choosing the insulation material and
wires for the connections, pay attention to the
required temperature resistance and the max.
mechanical load!
f
Use only safe contacts ( ) for safety functions.
f
Strip the insulation from the ends of the individ-
ual wires over a length of 6
±1
mm to ensure a
reliable contact.
The following information applies to devices
with cable entry:
1. Use a suitable tool to open the desired inser-
tion opening.
2. Fit the cable gland with the appropriate degree
of protection.
3. Connect and tighten the terminals with 0.5 Nm
(for terminal assignment, see Fig. 4).
4. Check that the cable entry is sealed.
5. Close the switch cover and screw in place
(tightening torque 0.5 Nm).
