MECHAN CONTROLS Installation Guide : MS6, MS6-SS, MS21, MS21-SS Safety Switches Description: MAGNASAFE safety switches are non-contact, magnetically operated switch and actuator, suitable for use in machine guarding applications. Magnasafe Safety switches are designed to be used in part of safety related control system. A risk assessment should take place to establish that the specifications of these safety switches are suitable for the application required. See Technical Specifications below or contact Mechan Controls for further information. Keep this guide for future reference This information is designed to help suitably qualified personnel install and operate Mechan Safety equipment. Before using this product, read this guide thoroughly along with any relevant European and/or National standards e.g. Machinery Directive 2006/42/ EC and it's amendments, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations. Further information can be obtained from Mechan Controls.

Operation Mechan Magnasafe safety switches can approach each other from most directions. When closed the targets printed on the front face of the switches must be aligned (large target to large target and small target to small target as shown above) Do not use safety switches Minimum separation 50mm as a stop. 1 mm separation between adjacent switches. when closed provides the best results. on hinged side of Hide the actuator where Mount the switch on to the machine frame and the actuator on to the opening edge of the door. Always try to mount the switch on non-ferrous material. (Ferrous...
