Correct use
Safety switches series TQ are interlocking devices
with guard locking solenoid for process protection
(type 2) without safe guard lock monitoring. The
actuator has a low coding level. In combination with
a movable guard and the machine control, this safety
component prevents dangerous machine functions
from occurring while the guard is open. A stop com-
mand is triggered if the guard is opened during the
dangerous machine function.
This means:
Starting commands that cause a dangerous ma-
f
chine function must become active only when the
guard is closed.
Opening the guard triggers a stop command.
f
Closing a guard must not cause automatic starting
f
of a dangerous machine function. A separate start
command must be issued. For exceptions, refer to
EN ISO 12100 or relevant C-standards.
Devices from this series are suitable only for process
protection.
Before the device is used, a risk assessment must
be performed on the machine, e.g. in accordance
with the following standards:
EN ISO 13849-1
f
EN ISO 12100
f
EN IEC 62061
f
Correct use includes observing the relevant require-
ments for installation and operation, particularly
based on the following standards:
EN ISO 13849-1
f
EN ISO 14119
f
EN IEC 60204-1
f
Important!
The user is responsible for the proper integration
f
of the device into a safe overall system. For this
purpose, the overall system must be validated,
e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.
If the simplified method according to section
f
6.2.3 of EN ISO 13849-1:2023 is used for
determining the Performance Level (PL), the
PL might be reduced if several devices are
connected in series.
The logical series connection of safe contacts
f
may limit the achievable Performance Level (PL)
in certain circumstances. More information about
this is available in ISO TR 24119.
If a data sheet is included with the product, the
f
information on the data sheet applies in case of
discrepancies with the operating instructions.
Safety precautions
WARNING
Danger to life due to improper installation or due
to bypassing (tampering). Safety components
perform a personnel protection function.
Safety components must not be bypassed,
f
turned away, removed or otherwise rendered
ineffective. On this topic pay attention in partic-
ular to the measures for reducing the possibility
of bypassing according to EN ISO 14119:2013,
www
section 7.
www
The switching operation must be triggered only
f
by actuators designated for this purpose.
www
Prevent bypassing by means of replacement
f
actuators. For this purpose, restrict access to
actuators and to keys for releases, for example.
Mounting, electrical connection and setup only
f
by authorized personnel possessing special
knowledge about handling safety components.
CAUTION
Danger due to high housing temperature.
Protect switch against touching by personnel or
f
contact with flammable material.
Function
The safety switch permits the locking of movable
guards for process protection.
In the switch head, there is a rotating cam that is
blocked/released by the guard locking pin.
The guard locking pin is moved on the insertion/
removal of the actuator and on the activation/
release of the guard locking. During this process,
the switching contacts are actuated.
If the cam is blocked (guard locking active), the
actuator cannot be pulled out of the switch head. For
design reasons, guard locking can be activated only
when the guard is closed (prevention of inadvertent
locking position (faulty closure protection)).
Position monitoring of the guard and monitoring
of interlocking are performed via two separate
switching elements (see Fig. 1).

The safety switch is designed so that fault ex-
clusions for internal faults in accordance with
EN ISO 13849-2:2013, Table A4, can be assumed.

Monitoring contacts for the guard
locking position
All versions feature at least one contact for monitor-
ing guard locking. These contacts are opened when
guard locking is released.
Version TQ1
(guard locking actuated by spring force and released
by power-ON)
Activating guard locking: close guard; no voltage
f
at the solenoid
Releasing guard locking: apply voltage to the
f
solenoid
The spring-operated guard locking functions in ac-
cordance with the closed-circuit current principle. If
the voltage is interrupted at the solenoid, the guard
locking remains active and the guard cannot be
opened directly.
If the guard is open when the power supply is
interrupted and is then closed, guard locking is
activated. This can lead to persons being locked
in unintentionally.
Version TQ2
(guard locking actuated by power-ON and released
by spring force)
Activating guard locking: apply voltage to the
f
solenoid
Releasing guard locking: disconnect voltage from
f
the solenoid
The magnetically actuated guard locking operates in
accordance with the open-circuit current principle. If
the voltage is interrupted at the solenoid, the guard
locking is released and the guard can be opened
directly.

Make sure to select the correct actuator (see
table in Fig. 5).
Additionally pay attention to the door radius and

the mounting options (see Fig. 6).
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.
Further 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:
