Installation Instructions for the
FF Series Magnetically Actuated Safety
Interlock Switches
ISSUE 1

Sensing and Control
WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION
Consult with local safety agencies and their
requirements when designing a machine-control
link, interface, and all control elements that affect
safety.
Strictly adhere to all installation instructions.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
When installed on a machine guard, and the switch and
actuator are within the specified operating range, the
safety contacts will be closed and the auxiliary
contacts will be open. (See table for switching
distances).
When the actuator moves out of the operating range, the
safety contacts will open. The auxiliary contacts will
close for indication.
The FF series safety switches and actuators are
designed to approach each other from most angles.
When the switch is closed, the targets on the printed
face of the switch must align.
MOUNTING INFORMATION
The FF safety switches can approach each other from
most angles. When the switch is closed, targets on the
printed face must align. See figure 1.
FIGURE 1. SWITCH ALIGNMENT (FFS AND FF6)
FIGURE 2. SWITCH ALIGNMENT (FF2 AND FF3)
FIGURE 3. SWITCH ALIGNMENT (FF5)
Mount the switch on the machine frame and the actuator
on the opening edge of the door. Always try to mount the
switch on non-ferrous material. Ferrous material may
reduce the switching distance. Be sure to use tamper-
proof screws. Do not use the safety switch as a door
stop. Leave a minimum of 50 mm [1.97 in] between any
adjacent switches. See figures 4 and 5.

FIGURE 4. DO NOT USE THE SAFETY SWITCH AS A
DOOR STOP
FIGURE 5. MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN
SWITCHES
When fixing the safety switch to a sliding door (A),
ensure that when the door is opened (B) it is not easily
accessible, helping prevent the system being overridden.
See figure 6.
