Two-hand control SNZ 4052K
Function
Device and function description
The device complies with EN 574 Type III C safety requirements. The safety behavior
of the device is designed for applications according to category 4 (EN 954-1). The
device is single-fault safe and self-monitoring. Synchronous activation of both
actuators (two-hand momentary contact or safety gate contacts) is monitored. Each
of the two actuators is connected to the device with a NO contact and a NC contact.
The technical design of the input circuit provides cross connection and ground fault
monitoring. The output function is designed with 2 NO contacts as an enabling
current path and 1 NC contact as signaling current path (all positively driven).
SNZ 4052K / K-A AC 115 – 120 V / AC 230 V
With supply voltage applied to terminals A1/A2 and the feedback loop (terminals
Y1/Y2) closed, the enabling current paths are closed by simultaneously activating
the actuators (S1+S2). Both actuators must be activated within 0.5 s for the output
contacts to be enabled. If only one of the two actuators is released, the device is
immediately de-energized. The enabling current paths open. The device can be
restarted only after both actuators have returned to their initial position (for example
when the two-hand momentary contact switches have been released) and the
feedback circuit is closed again. The feedback circuit should only be opened again
after both actuators are activated. Otherwise the device will remain in the OFF
position. The current status of the device is indicated by 3 LEDs: application of the
supply voltage with LED SUPPLY, activation of both actuators with LED K1 and
additionally with LED K2 in case of synchronous activation.
Notes
Proper use
Machines whose operation requires repeated motion of the hands into the hazardous
zone may be operated with this device.
• The safety category according to EN 954-1 depends on the external circuitry, the
choice of control devices and their placement on the machine.
• SNE expansion devices or external contactors with positively driven contacts can
be used to multiply the enabling current paths.
• The device and the contacts must be protected with max. 6 A utilization category gG
or through circuit breakers with trigger characteristic B or C.
• The devices must be installed in a control cabinet with a protection degree of at
least IP 54.
