HS6E Subminiture Interlock Switches with Solenoid
When using the HS9Z-A65/HS9Z-A66 Angle Adjustable
Actuator
•When the door hinge is on the extension line of the interlock
switch surface
•When the door hinge is on the extension line of the actuator
mounting surface
Actuator Angle Adjustment for the HS9Z-A65/HS9Z-A66
• Using the angle adjustment screw, the actuator angle can be
adjusted (see figures on page 17).
Adjustable angle: 0 to 20°
• The larger the adjusted angle of the actuator, the smaller the
applicable radius of the door opening.
• After installing the actuator, open the door. Then adjust the
actuator so that its edge can enter properly into the actuator
entry slot of the interlock switch.
• After adjusting the actuator angle, apply Loctite to the adjust-
ment screw so that the screw will not become loose.
Mounting Examples
Mount the interlock switch on a fixated machine or guard, and
mount the actuator on the hinged door. Do not mount both interlock
switch and actuator on hinged doors, otherwise malfunction will
occur.
Note: When mounting an actuator, make sure
that the actuator enters the slot in the
correct direction, as shown on the right.
For Manual Unlocking
Spring lock
The HS6E allows manual unlocking of the actuator to pre-check
proper door operation before wiring or turning power on, as well as
for emergency use such as a power failure.
Solenoid lock
The HS6E can be unlocked manually in emergency.
When using the manual unlock key
• When locking or unlocking the interlock switch manually, turn
the key fully using the manual unlock key supplied with the
switch.
• Using the interlock switch with the key not fully turned (less
than 90°) may cause damage to the interlock switch or opera-
tion failures (when manually unlocked, the switch will keep the
main circuit disconnected and the door unlocked).
• Do not apply excessive force (0.45 N·m or more) to the
manual unlock part, otherwise the manual unlock part will
become damaged.
• Do not leave the manual unlock key attached to the switch
during operation. This is dangerous because the switch can
always be unlocked while the machine is in operation.
When unlocking pushing the plate inside the interlock switch
• Remove the screw at the side of the interlock switch (the
same side where actuator is inserted) and insert a small
screwdriver.
• Push the plate inside the interlock switch toward the LED indi-
cator using the screwdriver until the actuator is unlocked.
• Tighten the screw to a proper torque (0.3 to 0.5 N·m). Do not
tighten with excessive force, otherwise the interlock switch will
be damaged. Be sure to reinstall the screw, otherwise the
waterproof capability will be lost.
Caution
Before manually unlocking the interlock switch, make sure
that the machine has come to a complete stop. Manual
unlocking during operation may unlock the interlock switch
before the machine stops, and the function of the interlock
switch with solenoid is lost. While the solenoid is energized,
do not unlock the switch manually (solenoid lock).
