3 Installation and maintenance
Contact Edge GE – General
Inside the contact edge there is a cast-in contact strip that consist of two conductive alternating surfaces on the inside
and a highly-effective insulation shell. There are two conductive wires in the contact surfaces that allow for low ohm
measurements even when the contact edge has an extended length. The cast-in contact strip is protected against
damage by the surrounding chamber. The cast end plugs ensure a permanent contact from the conductive surfaces in
the contact strip. A special flexible adhesive is used to make the connector ring watertight. Because of the contact
points, the safety contact edge has approximate 20 mm of inactive length at each end. Assembly of the contact edge
GE can be made by the customer or chosen to be manufactured by the ABB Jokab Safety factory.

1. Terminal cap
2. Rubber profile with integrated contact strip
3. Terminal resistor (Can be connection plug with
cable as well)
4. Connection plug
5. Aluminium profile

Assembly Instructions for the GE-series

1. Cutting the safety-contact-edge

The contact edge is to be cut to correct length (cut measure). It is to be noted that the planes of section are
right-angled and smooth. The measure should be 25 mm shorter than the final dimension of the finished
contact edge (height of end caps). (A = Cut measure, B= Final measure)

2TLC172229M0201 rev. B 6 www.abb.com/jokabsafety

 2. Preparing the wiring plug and end caps
Puncture the appropriate cable entry of the end cap, by which the cable is implemented, with a screw-driver
(Ø 3-5mm). Pull the cable through this cable entry. The arrangement of the individual components depends on
the respective gate construction and on structural conditions, which must be considered with.
For manufacturing a contact edge with sealing rims, the end caps must be cut out in the marked places for the
withdrawal of the sealing rims.

1) Wiring plug
2) End Cap
3) Marks

3. Contacting
Press the wiring plug with the drawn up end cap and the termination plug onto the appropriate side of the
contact edge in each case up to the half into the switching chamber. The respective putting in direction of the
plugs is to be considered. Make sure that the needle is pricked appropriate into the copper braids of the
switching chamber.

4) Copper braid
5) Switching chamber

2015-04-01
 4. Testing
Measure the plugger together with the contact edge with a commercial resistance measuring instrument.
The resistance between blue-blue (out form each end) or brown-brown wire is to be as low as possible, not
exceeding 10 ohms. With no load on the safety edge, resistance between blue-brown wires (both
combinations) is to be as high as possible, not below 10.000 ohms. With loaded edge, the resistance should
be between 10–50 ohms.
The resistance will vary with pressure applied and distance from ends. Close to the ends, it may be possible to
achieve “contact” at a high force but this should not be considered as safe operation. Normally there will be a
”dead zone” approximately 20–30 mm from each end.
If the resistance values should not be correct, the wiring plugs must be removed and pressed in again.

5. Gluing the wall plugs

The ambient temperature during glueing should be between 10° and 30°C and the relative humidity between
40 and 70%. Coat the surfaces of the wiring plugs and the switching chamber which will be stuck together with
the CA-Primer. Provide the wiring plug all around with glue „Contact VA 250 black“. Immediately after that,
press the plug strongly into the switching chamber (if available by using the auxiliary tool). The steps are to be
repeated for the termination plug or connection plug in the other end.

6) Primer
7) Glue
8) Auxiliary tool

2TLC172229M0201 rev. B 8 www.abb.com/jokabsafety

2015-04-01
 6. Gluing the end caps
Coat the surfaces of the contact edge and the end cap which will be stuck together with the CA-Primer. For an
accelerated adhesion the surfaces of the end cap can be coated additionally with an activator. Provide the front
surface and the circulating outline surface of the contact edge with glue „Contact VA 250 black“. Turn the end
cap over the contact edge and immediately press the cap evenly (Keep pressed, until the glue works). The
steps are to be repeated for the second cap.

9) Primer
10) Activator
11) Glue

7. Measuring the contact edge

Measure the finished manufactured contact edge as described under point 4.

8. Water drain
For a long life span of a vertical installed contact edge it is important to provide a water drain. For this the marked
lower water outlet is to be cut out. When horizontal assembling both openings should be cut out. Use a knife to
cut out the holes but wait until the glue has hardened enough (2–3 h).

Assembly instructions for GE-series

1. To facilitate installation of the safety contact edge, the aluminium C-profile may only be attached to
even surfaces. If the safety contact edge is mounted in a bend, the radius must not be less than the
specified minimum.

2. The aluminium C-profile must be fitted with countersunk screws or rivets. A diameter of 4 mm is
sufficient. The holes of 4.5 mm must be evenly distributed over the entire length of the C-profile with
distances between them not exceeding 300 mm. They have to be countersunk according to the
screw size.

3. Pan- or round-head screws should not be used. Otherwise the connecting wire in the aluminum C-
profile could be damaged.

2TLC172229M0201 rev. B 10 www.abb.com/jokabsafety

2015-04-01
 4. In order to lead the connecting wire through the C-profile, an 8 mm hole has to be drilled in the
appropriate place. Carefully remove the burr from both sides.

5. The connecting wire and the 30 cm cable end with the integrated terminal resistor can be placed in
the aluminium C-profile.

6. In order to make fitting the safety contact edge easier, the aluminium C-profile and the safety
contact edge should be sprayed with soapy water. Once the soap suds have evaporated the contact
edge is firmly fitted in the C-profile.

NB! To prevent a subsequent slipping of the safety contact edge talcum powder, oils or similarly
durable lubricants may not be used!

2TLC172229M0201 rev. B 11 www.abb.com/jokabsafety

2015-04-01
 7. Safety contact edges with a c-base have to be clipsed with one side into the C-profile. Then press in
the complete C-base. Pulling or pushing the safety contact edge into the aluminium C-profile can
cause damage to the contact edge and should be avoided at all costs.

8. Safety contact edges with a T-base have to be pushed into the aluminium C-profile.

NB! Any other methods of fastenings are only permitted on prior agreement with the manufacturer!

Contact Edge GP – General

The safety contact strip, SKS 18, the actual contactor, is located inside the safety contact edge. The safety contact
strip consist of a homogeneous highly insulating outer EPDM material and has two internal conducting contact
surfaces. The conducting elastomer contains two copper wires that provide low-resistance detection even in lengths
exceeding 100 meters (NB! The contact edge GP series is only possible to make in max 6 meter length). Because of
the contact points, the safety contact edge has approximate 30 mm of inactive length at each end. To provide
protection against damage and to enable its proper use, the safety contact strip is inserted into the switching chamber
of the rubber contactor profile. The rubber profiles (EDPM or NBR) are then permanently sealed with a special elastic
adhesive and end caps to make them watertight. The safety contact edge is then pressed into the aluminium profile.
Assembly of the contact edge GP is always made by the ABB Jokab Safety factory.

only be attempted after consultation with ABB Jokab Safety. Other methods of adaptation, unless
approved by ABB Jokab Safety, may invalidate the warranty and may lead to incorrect device
operation.

2TLC172229M0201 rev. B 15 www.abb.com/jokabsafety

4 Connections

Contact edges must be connected to a suitable safety evaluation unit (e.g. ABB Jokab Safey safety relays
RT6, RT7A/B, RT9, Vital with Tina 6A or Pluto safety-PLC).
The safety evaluation unit monitors the functionality of the contact protection and detects any breaks or
short-circuits in the lines. Several crush protection units can be connected in series while still retaining the
same level of safety.
When pressure is applied, the active surface of the contact area in the contact protection is closed and the
safety output on the monitoring unit trips. A stop signal will be sent to the machine’s safety circuits
preventing any dangerous movements.

NB! If alternative units are used rather than the recommended ABB Jokab Safety relays, it is essential that
the user checks their suitability before use. Failure to do so may result in incorrect operation and/or
damage to the equipment and invalidate warranty.
