Edwards Signaling 383-BT - Manual (Page 2)

The parallel actuation can result in on/off/on signal if the actuator passes by the
switch rather than coming to rest in proximity to it. This is NOT a recommended
configuration for safety interlock applications.

Multiple DPST GuardSwitches – Shown with actuators in position, all guards closed.
The L.E.D of the BLT model will be on when the guard is open. If multiple guards
are open, L.E.D will be dimmer. The maximum number of GuardSwitches that can
be used is 50, although troubleshooting and line resistance must be considered.
(Do not exceed 30 Ohms of combined contact and line resistance. Each GuardSwitch
will have less than 0.5 Ohms of resistance.)

6. When mounting the switch on an ungrounded machine, ground the switch housing
by connecting your ground lead to one of the switch mounting screws.
