About this document
This document is valid for all safety switches CES-I-AR-U-C04.
Correct use
The Coded Electronic Safety switches series CES are safety devices for monitor-
ing movable safety guards.
In combination with a separating safety guard and the machine control, this safety
component prevents dangerous machine movements from occurring while the
safety guard is open. A stop command is triggered if the safety guard is opened
during the dangerous machine function.
Before safety switches are used, a risk assessment must be performed on the
machine, e.g. in accordance with:
Ì
EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems.
General principles for design
Ì
EN ISO 12100, Safety of machinery - General principles for design - Risk as-
sessment and risk reduction
Ì
IEC 62061, Safety of machinery - Functional safety of safety-related electrical,
electronic and programmable electronic control systems
Correct use includes compliance with the relevant requirements for installation
and operation, for example
Ì
EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems.
General principles for design
Ì
EN 1088, Safety of machinery. Interlocking devices associated with guards.
Principles for design and selection
Ì
EN 60204-1, Safety of machinery. Electrical equipment of machines. General
requirements
Ì
EN 60947-5-3, Specification for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Con-
trol circuit devices and switching elements. Requirements for proximity devices
with defined behavior under fault conditions
The safety switch must be used only in conjunction with the designated CES ac-
tuators from EUCHNER. On the use of different actuators, EUCHNER provides no
warranty for safe function.
Connection of several devices in an AR switch chain is permitted only using devices
intended for series connection in an AR switch chain. Check this in the instructions
of the device in question.
A maximum of 20 safety switches are allowed to be operated in a switch chain.
Important!
Ì
The user is responsible for the integration of the device into a safe overall
system. For this purpose, the overall system must be validated, e.g. in ac-
cordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
Ì
Correct use requires observing the permissible operating parameters (see
Technical data).
Ì
If a product data sheet is included with the product, the information on the
data sheet applies in case of discrepancies with the operating instructions.
