6 Installation
6.1 Actuating directions
The sensor recognises the actuator from three different directions ②.
▶ When mounting the device, align the central marks ① of the sensor and the actuator in parallel to each other.

① Reference marks (central mark)
② Actuating direction

The actuator must not touch the sensor during operation. Do not use as an end stop.
- Do not adjust the device using mechanical force.
- Only mount on a flat surface to avoid damage or changes of the sensing range.

When using several sensors, a minimum distance of 50 mm in each direction must be maintained.
▶ Fasten the sensor and the actuator with two screws each (M4, > 18 mm) (tightening torque 0.8...2 Nm).

Using less than two screws for each component is not permissible. According to EN ISO 14119, the actuator must be fixed immovably.
Safety screws with one-way heads, rivets or the like are to be used.
After mounting, insert the supplied cover caps to make it more difficult to access screws or rivets.
7 Electrical connection

In case of a single fault, the supply voltage must not exceed a maximum of 60 V DC. (This requires the safe separation between power supply and transformer SELV / PELV.)
▶ Disconnect power. Also disconnect any independently supplied relay load circuits.

8 Programming
The programmable version of the sensor is provided with a special programming input (IN3) that recognises the stored code in a new actuator.
The programming can be repeated as often as you like. ▶ After successful programming, the sensor will only recognise the code of the most recently programmed actuator.

The sensor may only be programmed by qualified staff.

9 Operation
9.1 Switching state of the outputs
9.1.1 The safe state
The safe state is when the output is switched off (zero-current state: Logic "0") of at least one of the outputs OS1 or OS2 (OSSDs).
If one of the outputs OS1 or OS2 is switched off, the subsequent safety-related logic unit must bring the complete system into the state defined as safe.
9.1.2 The switched state
If the coded actuator is in the enable zone and if there is no sensor error, both outputs OS1 and OS2 (OSSDs) are enabled (logic "1").
9.1.3 Cross fault / short circuit
- A cross fault between both outputs (OS1 and OS2) is detected by the fail-safe sensor and results in the outputs (OSSD) being switched off. The outputs OS1 and OS2 remain switched off until the error has been removed or a voltage reset has been carried out.
- A cross fault (short circuit) between one of the two outputs (OS1 or OS2) and the supply voltage results in the other output (OS2 or OS1) being switched off.
9.2 Interface classification
The interface complies with interface type C class 2 according to the ZVEI position paper CB24I Ed. 2.0.
9.2.1 Identification key
