Operating Instructions
Safety Switch TP...AS2
Manual release
Some situations require the guard locking to be
released manually (e.g. malfunctions or an emer-
gency). A function test should be performed after
release.
More information on this topic can be found in the
standard EN ISO 14119:2013, section 5.7.5.1. The
device can feature the following release functions:
Auxiliary release
In the event of malfunctions, the guard locking can
be released with the auxiliary release irrespective
of the state of the solenoid.
The half-sequence is sent when the auxiliary release
is actuated.
Actuating auxiliary release
1. Unscrew locking screw.
2. Using a screwdriver, turn the auxiliary release
to
in the direction of the arrow.
Guard locking is released.
¨
Important!
The actuator must not be under tensile stress
f
during manual release.
To prevent tampering, the auxiliary release must
f
be sealed (with sealing lacquer, for example)
before the switch is set up.
The locking screw must be screwed back in and
f
sealed (with sealing lacquer, for example) after
mounting and after every use of the auxiliary
release. Tightening torque 0.5 Nm.
Emergency release
This permits opening of a locked guard from outside
the danger area without tools.
Important!
It must be possible to operate the emergency
f
release manually from outside the protected
area without tools.
The emergency release must possess a mark-
f
ing indicating that it may be used only in an
emergency.
The actuator must not be under tensile stress
f
during manual release.
The release function meets all other require-
f
ments from EN ISO 14119.
The emergency release meets the requirements
f
of Category B according to EN ISO 13849-1.
The half-sequence is sent when the emergency
release is actuated.
Wire front release (bowden)
Release via a pull wire. Depending on the type of
attachment, the wire front release can be used as
emergency release or escape release.
Important!
The wire front release (bowden) meets the
f
requirements of Category B according to
EN ISO 13849-1.
The correct function depends on the laying of
f
the pull wire and the attachment of the pull
handle, and this is the responsibility of the plant
manufacturer.
The actuator must not be under tensile stress
f
during manual release.
Mounting
NOTICE
Device damage due to improper mounting and
unsuitable ambient conditions.
Safety switches and actuators must not be used
f
as an end stop.
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, sections 5.2 and
f
5.3, for information about mounting the safety
switch and the actuator.
Observe EN ISO 14119:2013, section 7, for
f
information about reducing the possibilities for
bypassing an interlocking device.
Protect the switch head against damage, as well
f
as penetrating foreign objects such as swarf,
sand and blasting shot, etc.
The specified IP degree of protection is applica-
f
ble only if the housing screws, cable entries and
plug connectors are properly tightened. Observe
the tightening torques.
The locking screw of the auxiliary release must
f
be sealed prior to setup (with sealing lacquer,
for example).

Fig. 1: Changing the actuating direction
1. Remove the screws from the actuating head.
2. Set the required direction.
3. Tighten the screws with a torque of 0.8 Nm.
4. Cover the unused actuating slot with the en-
closed slot cover.
Electrical connection
The safety switch is connected to the bus system
with a 4-pin connecting cable with M12 plug connec-
tor via a passive AS-Interface distribution box with a
yellow and black AS-Interface cable.

Setup
Setting the AS‑Interface address
The address can be set prior to or after mounting.
The AS-Interface address of the safety switch is
set using an AS-Interface programming device.
Addresses 1 to 31 are valid.
The unit is programmed by connecting the program-
ming device to the M12 plug connector of the safety
switch with a programming cable.
Address 0 is the default setting on delivery (the
AS-Interface Fault LED is lit during operation).

Configuration in the AS‑Interface safety
monitor
(see operating instructions for the AS-Interface
safety monitor and status table)
The safety switch is configured in the AS-Interface
safety monitor with the AS-Interface address set as
follows, for example:
Dual-channel dependent
f
With start-up test
f
Synchronization time = typ. 3 s
f
In this operating mode, the guard must be opened
each time prior to restarting in order to perform
the start-up test.
It is possible to skip the start-up test.
It is not possible to switch off the guard locking
f
solenoid by means of the monitor alone.
The control system (PLC) must therefore switch off
the guard locking solenoid in the locked position via
AS-Interface output D0 = 0 in order to re-establish
the switch-on conditions for the first OSSD.
LED displays
The AS-Interface bus status is indicated by two LEDs
(Power, Fault).
Two additional LEDs can be activated via the AS-
Interface bus (see technical data).

Function test

WARNING
Fatal injury due to faults during the function test.
Before carrying out the function test, make sure
f
that there are no persons in the danger area.
Observe the valid accident prevention regula-
f
tions.
Check the device for correct function after installa-
tion and after every fault.
Proceed as follows:
Mechanical function test
The actuator must slide easily into the actuating
head. Close the guard several times to check the
function. The function of any manual releases (except
for the auxiliary release) must also be tested.
Electrical function test
1. Switch on operating voltage.
2. Close all guards and activate guard locking.
The machine must not start automatically.
¨
It must not be possible to open the guard.
¨
3. Start the machine function.
3
It must not be possible to release guard locking
¨
as long as the machine function is active.
4. Stop the machine function and release guard
2
locking.
The guard must remain locked until the process
¨
is no longer at risk.
It must not be possible to start the machine
¨
function as long as guard locking is released.
Repeat steps 2 - 4 for each guard.
