HS6B Subminiature Interlock Switches
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 sticking 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 the location where a human
body may come into contact. Otherwise injury may occur.
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.
• 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.
• Use proprietary actuators only. When other actuators are
used, the interlock switch may be damaged.
• Do not modify the actuator, otherwise it will damage the
interlock switch.
• Cover the unused actuator entry slot using the slot plug
supplied with the interlock switch.
Mounting
Mount the interlock switch on the
machine. Mount the actuator on the
hinged door.
Note: When mounting an actuator, make sure
that the actuator enters into the slot in
the correct direction, as shown on the
right.
Recommended Screw Tightening Torque
• Interlock switch (M4 screw): 1.0 to 1.5 N·m
• Actuator (M4 screw): 1.0 to 1.5 N·m
• Mounting bolts are not supplied, and must be purchased
separately by the user.
Note: The above recommended tightening torque of the mounting
screw is the value with hex socket head bolts. When other
screws are used and tightened to a smaller torque, make
sure that the screws do not become loose after mounting.
Cable
• Do not fasten or loosen the gland at the bottom of the
interlock switch.
• When bending cable during wiring, make sure that the
cable radius is kept at 40 mm minimum.
• When wiring, make sure that water or
oil does not enter from the end of
cable.
Wire Identification
• Wires can be identified by color and/or a white line printed
on the wire.
Terminal Number Identification
• When wiring, the terminal number on each contact can be
identified by wire color.
• The following diagrams show a safety (main) contact and
one or two auxiliary contacts for two-contact and three-
contact types.
• When wiring, cut any dummy insulation (black) and any
unused wires at the end of the jacket to avoid incorrect
wiring.
