About RE1 SAFETY SWITCHES
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RE1 magnetic safety switches are equipped with either complementary NC/NO contacts or equivalent N/O contacts which are ad dressed directly with coded magnetic actuators. Magnetic safety switches are used in areas where a high level of contamination occurs. They are simple to clean, thereby enabling high standards of hygiene. Their principle of operation enables greater tolerances, making them ideal for applications where precise guidance of the protective device is difficult.
AT A GLANCE
- Response range up to 7 mm
- 2 or 3 contacts
- Up to performance level PL e (EN ISO 13849)
- Sensors with plug connector or connected cable
- Flexi Loop-compatible M12 plug connector (depending on variant)
YOUR BENEFITS
- Long service life due to durable and low-maintenance design.
- Space-saving mounting due to compact housing design.
- Just one safety switch in conjunction with a suitable safety module makes it possible to solve applications up to PL e and Cat. 4 (EN ISO 13849).
- High level of machine availability due to high tolerances for door misalignment.
- The devices are easy to clean, making them suitable for contaminated areas or environments with strict hygiene standards.
- Flexi Loop now enables a safe series connection with enhanced diagnostics capabilities and minimal wiring effort.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
- Monitoring of safety doors and removable guards.
- Applications requiring a high standard of hygiene.
- Applications where precise guidance of the safety door is not possible
Designed for Industrial SafetyThese safety switches are engineered with the demands of industrial environments in mind. With an IP67 protection level, they resist dust and water ingress, making them suitable even for challenging settings such as manufacturing lines. Their VISTAL casing and copper-conductor construction deliver resilience and reliability, offering secure safety protocols at access points including top loaders.
Reliable Performance and ComplianceMeeting Type 4 (EN ISO 14119) circuit standards and supporting up to 30 V DC, these switches ensure proper compliance and effective safety measures. The low coding level aligns with industry safety requirements, and the PVC cable enhances longevity. The switches are also easy to identify and maintain due to their striking yellow finish.
FAQ's of SAFETY SWITCHES:
Q: How do I correctly install the safety switches for maximum effectiveness?
A: To ensure proper functionality, mount the safety switch securely at designated access points like top loaders. Use the supplied PVC cable and maintain alignment with the actuator for optimal response. Always verify compatibility with 30 V DC voltage systems and observe the specified operating temperature range (-30C to +60C) during installation.
Q: What environments are these safety switches best suited for?
A: Thanks to their IP67 protection, VISTAL material, and robust build, these safety switches perform reliably in harsh industrial environments where dust, water, or mechanical wear is a concern. They are particularly suitable for access protection applications, such as those found in top loader machinery.
Q: When should the safety switch be replaced or serviced?
A: It is advisable to inspect the safety switch regularly, at least as part of routine machinery maintenance. Replace the switch if there are signs of physical damage, persistent electrical anomalies, or after the 1-year warranty period if performance becomes inconsistent. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for servicing.
Q: Where should these safety switches be used in an industrial setting?
A: Install these switches at operational access points requiring controlled entry, such as the safety doors of top loader machines or other access hatches where accidental entry could pose hazards. Their visible yellow color also aids in quick identification during safety checks.
Q: What are the benefits of using a low coding level (EN ISO 14119) safety switch?
A: Low coding level switches provide straightforward integration into existing safety systems, offering dependable access control without complex configurations. This facilitates quick installation and reliable performance while maintaining compliance with modern safety regulations.
Q: How does the IP67 rating enhance the safety switch's durability?
A: An IP67 rating ensures the device is protected against total dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, significantly boosting its durability in challenging industrial settings. This protection helps maintain performance and extends the switch's lifespan.
