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.)

Normally open reed switches, will close if misaligned or tampered with a
standard magnet

S4

Biased closed reed switch, open when actuator is between 0.3" and 0.6"

N.O. circuit: Black and white wires.
N.C. biased tamper circuit: Red and blue wires.

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.
