C = Use of one hinge switch and an additional hinge
D = Use of one hinge switch and two additional hinges
With larger doors the have three hinges make sure the two of
the hinges are located in the upper third.
We recommend that the hinge switch is placed in the middle
when three hinges are used.
The hinge safety switch must not be used as an end stop.
With applications where heavy doors are used and especially
when they cannot close easily or without any retardation,
additionally measures need to be taken to prevent loosening
of the mounting screws.
