Boundary area indication
S
ome variants of the safety switch are equipped with a boundary area indication. The
boundary area indication displays when the actuator is situated in the boundary area of
the response range when the sensor is active (weak signal). The Status/Diag LED then
lights up O yellow. The outputs are closed (High).
Magnetic holding force
S
ome variants of the safety switch are equipped with magnets. These magnets draw
the actuator to the sensor with their holding force so that the protective device (e. g. a
protective door) is held with a certain force. This makes unintended opening of the pro‐
tective device more difficult in the event of disturbances such as shock and vibration,
thereby increasing machine availability.
3.2 Protective functions
The safety switch features the following internal protective functions:
•
S
hort-circuit protection at all outputs
•
Overload protection at all outputs
•
Reverse polarity protection of the supply voltage
