HS6E Subminiture Interlock Switches with Solenoid

Safety Precautions

• In order to avoid electric shock or fire, turn power off be-

fore installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, or inspec-

tion of the interlock switch.

• If relays are used in the circuit between the interlock

switch and the load, use only safety relays, since welded

or stick ing contacts of standard relays may invalidate the

functions of the interlock switch. Perform a risk assess-

ment and make a safety circuit which satisfies the require-

ments of the safety category.

• Do not place a PLC in the circuit between the interlock

switch and the load. Safety security can be endangered in

the event of a malfunction of the PLC.

• Do not disassemble or modify the interlock switch, other-

wise a malfunction or an accident may occur.

• Do not install the actuator in a location where a human

body may come into contact. Otherwise injury may occur.

• Solenoid lock is locked when energized, and unlocked

when de-energized. When energization is interrupted due

to wire disconnection or other failures, the interlock switch

may be unlocked causing possible danger to the opera-

tors. Solenoid lock must not be used in applications where

locking is strictly required for safety. Perform a risk assess-

ment and determine whether solenoid lock is appro priate.

Instructions

• Regardless of door types, do not use the interlock switch

as a door stop. Install a mechanical door stop at the end of

the door to protect the interlock switch against excessive

force.

• Do not apply excessive shock to the interlock switch when

opening or closing the door. A shock to the interlock switch

exceeding 1,000 m/s

may cause damage to the interlock

switch.

• When unlocking, the switch may not be unlocked if a load

is applied to the actuator.

• If the operating atmosphere is contaminated, use a protec-

tive cover to prevent the entry of foreign objects into the

interlock switch through the actuator entry slots.

• Entry of a considerable amount of foreign objects into the

interlock switch may affect the mechanism of the interlock

switch and cause a malfunction.

• Do not store the interlock switches in a dusty, humid, or

organic-gas atmosphere, or in an area subjected to direct

sunlight.

• Use dedicated actuators only. When other actuators are

used, the interlock switch may be damaged.

• For correct operation, install the interlock switch on a flat

surface and provide sufficient strength to the surface so

that it is not disfigured. Do not insert any object between

the interlock switch and installation surface.

• Do not cut the actuator. modification of the actuator may

cause damage.

• The locking strength is rated at 500N. Do not apply a load

higher than the rated value. When a higher load is ex-

pected, provide an additional system consisting of another

interlock switch without lock (such as the HS6B/HS7A

interlock switch) or a sensor to detect door opening and

stop the machine.

• Regardless of door types, do not use the interlock switch

as a door lock. Install a separate lock using a latch or

other measures.

• While the solenoid is energized, the switch temperature

rises approximately 35°C above the ambient temperature

(to approximately 85°C while the ambient temperature is

50°C). Do not touch to prevent burns. If cables come into

contact with the switch, use heat-resistant cables.

• Solenoid has polarity. Be sure of correct polarity when

wiring, otherwise solenoid will be damaged. Do not apply

voltage over the rated voltage, otherwise the solenoid will

be burnt.

• Bouncing will occur on the lock monitor contact during

locking and unlocking (reference value: 20 ms).

• Although the HS9Z-A61/A62/A62S actuators alleviate

shock when the actuator enters a slot in the interlock

switch, make sure that excessive shock is not applied.

If the rubber bushings become deformed or cracked,

replace with new ones.

Minimum Radius of Hinged Door

• When using the interlock switch on hinged doors, refer to

the minimum radius of doors shown below. When using on

doors with small minimum radius, use the angle adjustable

actuator (HS9Z-A65 and HS9Z-A66).

Note: Because deviation or dislocation of hinged doors may occur

in actual applications, make sure of the correct operation

before installation.
