 3SE5, 3SE2, 3SE3 Position Switches
With Separate Actuator
General data

■ Overview
Position switches with separate actuator are used where the po- Operation
sition of doors, covers or protective grills must be monitored for
safety reasons. The actuator head is included in the scope of supply. For actua-
tion from four directions it can be adjusted through 4 x 90°. The
3SE5 position switches with separate actuator have the same switches can also be approached from above.
enclosures as the standard switches (modular system).
The actuator head of the 3SE2 243 and 3SE2 257 switches with
special enclosures cannot be changed. The switches can be
approached from the two broad sides and from above.
The actuators are not included in the scope of supply of the po-
sition switches and must be ordered separately from a choice of
six versions to suit the application.
The actuator is encoded. Simple overruling by hand or auxiliary
devices is impossible.
Radius actuators
The position switches with radius actuators are particularly sui-
table for rotatable protective devices. The movable actuation
key allows even small radii to be approached. Damage to the
switch and the actuator due to inaccurate approach is preven-
ted.
Locking devices
A high-grade steel blocking insert for attaching up to eight pad-
locks is available for even more safety.
Design
Enclosure sizes
The 3SE5 switches are available in various enclosure sizes:
• Plastic enclosures according to EN 50047 (31 mm wide),
1 cable entry
• Plastic enclosures (50 mm wide), 2 cable entries
• Metal enclosures according to EN 50041 (40 mm wide),
1 cable entry
• Metal enclosures (56 mm wide), 3 cable entries
Also available is a switch in the 3SE2 series, which has arisen in
this form according to general market requirements:
• Plastic enclosures outside of the standards, enclosure width
52 mm.
Enclosure versions
Various basic versions can be selected for the enclosures of the
3SE5 series: Blocking inserts with padlock
• Available with two- or three-pole switching elements designed Dust protection

Hinge Switches
General data

■ Overview
The hinge switches are used in those areas where the position of
swivelable protective devices such as doors or flaps must be
monitored. The position of the doors and hinge switches is con-
verted into electric signals with the switches. The switches
allows shutdown and signaling without delay in the event of a
small opening angle through the snap-action contacts with an
operating angle of 10°.
3SE5 hinge switches have the same enclosures as the standard
switches (modular system).

Hinge switches
Design
Enclosure sizes
The 3SE5 switches are available as complete units in two enc-
losure sizes:
• Plastic enclosures according to EN 50047 (31 mm wide),
1 cable entry
• Metal enclosures according to EN 50041 (40 mm wide),
1 cable entry
Enclosure versions
Various basic versions can be selected for the enclosures:
• Available with two or three-pole switching elements designed
as snap-action contacts
• Metal enclosures for explosion protection (ATEX)
(see page 57)
• AS-Interface version with integrated ASIsafe electronics for all
enclosure designs (see page 58)
For a description of the basic switches see page 6.
Operating mechanism
The hinge switches are provided for mounting on hinges. The
actuator head is included in the scope of supply. There are two
versions:
• Operating mechanism with hollow shaft, diameter inside
8 mm, outside 12 mm
• Operating mechanism with solid shaft, diameter 10 mm

For Explosion Protection (ATEX)
3SE5, metal enclosures

■ Overview
The position switch in the metal enclosure including the hinge
switch and the switch with a separate actuator is also available
in versions for operation in areas with a gas explosion hazard
and in areas with combustible dust.
To achieve the maximum possible safety in these areas, the le-
gislators of most countries have drawn up requirements in the
form of laws, regulations and standards which these switches
comply with to the letter.
These switches comply with Directive 94/4/EC (ATEX 95) of the
European Union and are approved for Zone 22.
The switches have a grounding screw on the outside of the enc-
losure. The connection openings are closed with protective caps
upon delivery.
See Chapter 20 "Appendix" --> "Standards and approvals" -->
"Type overview of approved devices for potentially explosive
areas (ATEX explosion protection)".

 3SF1 AS-Interface Position Switches

General data

■ Overview
The 3SF1 position switches with safety-oriented communication Display
can be directly connected using the AS-Interface bus system.
The safety functions no longer have to be conventionally wired The switches have a status display with three LEDs:
up. • LED 1 (yellow): F-IN1
With the 3SF1 position switches the ASIsafe electronics are inte- • LED 2 (yellow): F-IN2
grated in the switch enclosure. • LED 3 (green/red): AS-i/FAULT
Connection
Connection to the AS-Interface is by means of a 4-pole M12
connector socket (plastic version) connected to the yellow
AS-Interface bus cable.
The wide enclosures (50 or 56 mm) also have an M12 socket for
connecting a second position switch. Category 4 according to
EN 954-1 is thus achieved.

Examples of selection options in the modular system

Modular system
The position switches of the 3SF1 1.4 and 3SF1 2.4 series are
constructed from a modular system comprising different versi-
ons of the basic enclosure and an actuator which must be or-
dered separately. Thanks to the modular design of the switch the
end user can select the right solution for his application from nu-
merous versions and install it himself in a very short time.

seen or intentional opening of protective doors, protective grilles There are two versions for locking the actuator:
or other covers as long as a dangerous situation is present • Spring-actuated lock (closed-circuit principle) with various
(i. e. follow-on motion of the shutdown machine). release mechanisms
The 3SF1 position switches with safety-oriented communication • Magnetic field lock (open-circuit principle)

The safety functions no longer have to be conventionally wired
up. The switches have a status display with four LEDs:
With the 3SF1 position switches the ASIsafe electronics are inte- • LED 1 (green): AS-i
grated in the switch enclosure. • LED 2 (red): FAULT
• LED 3 (yellow): F-IN1
• LED 4 (yellow): F-IN2
Connection
Connection to the AS-Interface is by means of a 4-pole M12
connector socket (plastic version) connected to the yellow
AS-Interface bus cable (an additional supply of auxiliary power
is not required thanks to the low current consumption of the ma-
gnet of max. 170 mA).

requires a safety relay or connection to a bus system.
The contact block and switching magnet must not be installed
on ferromagnetic materials because the switching response will
be influenced. Spacers can be used to prevent this.
The contact blocks are available with either a connecting cable
or connector.
