Figure 1: EUCHNER NZ1HS-3131-M Safety Switch. This image shows the safety switch with its distinctive lever arm and roller, which is used for actuation.
Componenti chiave:
- Alloggiamento: Protegge i componenti interni.
- Lever Arm with Roller: The actuating element that detects guard position.
- Porta di connessione: For electrical wiring (M20 x 1.5).
4. Configurazione e installazione
Proper installation is critical for the safety switch's functionality. Follow these steps carefully:
- Montaggio: Securely mount the safety switch to a stable surface near the movable guard. Ensure the lever arm can be actuated freely by the guard.
- Cablaggio:
- Disconnect all power to the machine before wiring.
- Connect the electrical wiring to the M20 x 1.5 connection port.
- Use wires with a cross-section of 0.34 to 1.5 mm2.
- Ensure connections comply with the rated voltage of 230V AC / 24V DC and current rating of 4 Amps.
- Verificare la corretta polarità per i collegamenti CC.
- Regolazione: Adjust the position of the switch and/or the guard so that the lever arm is actuated correctly when the guard is closed, and released when the guard is open. The switch should operate reliably throughout the guard's movement range.
- Prova: After installation, perform a functional test to ensure the safety switch operates as intended. Verify that the machine cannot start or stops immediately when the guard is opened.
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
The NZ1HS-3131-M safety switch operates in an ON-OFF mode, designed to monitor the state of a machine guard. When the guard is closed, the lever arm is actuated, changing the state of the internal contacts (4PST, SPDT terminal). This signals to the control system that the guard is in a safe position, allowing machine operation.
When the guard is opened, the lever arm is released, causing the contacts to switch state. This action should immediately stop or prevent the start of hazardous machine functions, ensuring operator safety.
Normal Operation Sequence:
- Guard Closed: Lever arm actuated, safety circuit closed (or open, depending on specific wiring and safety logic). Machine operation permitted.
- Guard Opened: Lever arm released, safety circuit opened (or closed). Machine operation interrupted or prevented.
6. Manutenzione
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e il funzionamento affidabile dell'interruttore di sicurezza.
- Ispezione visiva: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or wear on the lever arm and roller.
- Pulizia: Mantenere l'interruttore libero da polvere, sporco e detriti. Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per la pulizia. Evitare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
- Controllo Funzionale: Regularly test the switch's operation by opening and closing the guard to confirm it correctly interrupts or prevents machine operation.
- Verifica della connessione: Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti elettrici siano sicuri e privi di corrosione.
If any damage or malfunction is detected, replace the switch immediately. Do not attempt to repair the safety switch.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the NZ1HS-3131-M safety switch.
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Switch does not actuate when guard closes. | Incorrect alignment of switch or guard; damaged lever arm. | Adjust switch or guard position. Inspect and replace if lever arm is damaged. |
| Machine does not stop when guard opens. | Faulty wiring; damaged switch contacts; bypass of safety circuit. | Check wiring for proper connection and integrity. Test switch contacts. Ensure no unauthorized bypasses are present. Replace switch if faulty. |
