Contacts: Open Closed Transition
NOTE: This symbol for a positive opening safety contact (IEC 60947-5-1) is used in the switching
diagrams to identify the point in actuator travel where the normally closed safety contact is
fully open.
•Limit switch design (EN 50047)
•Rotating shaft connects directly to door hinge
• Positive opening safety contacts (IEC 60947-5-1) (not dependent upon springs)
•Glass-reinforced thermoplastic switch housing with plated steel actuator
• Insulated device (IEC 60947-5-1) on all models with plastic housings
•Actuator head is rotatable in 90 degree increments
The closed contact (11–12)
fully opens (i.e., positive break
occurs) within ±30°
of the neutral shaft position.
