Three configurations are appropriate for safety interlock applications. 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.
Figure 2
Mounting Configurations
The interlock switch and actuator magnet should be mounted in only three
configurations for actuation.

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.)

by connecting your ground lead to one of the switch mounting screws.
