Honeywell GSS Series GSAA01A1B General Purpose Safety Switches

Installation Instructions for the Global Safety Limit Switch (GSS Series)
WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION
- Consult with local safety agencies and their requirements when designing a machine-control link, interface, and all control elements that affect safety.
- Strictly adhere to all installation instructions.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
MOUNT, WIRE AND SEAL SWITCH
WARNING
IMPROPER OPERATION
- Ensure switch actuator achieves sufficient travel for positive opening of normally closed (NC) contacts to occur.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
- Refer to:
- Page 3 for adjustments.
- Page 4 for EN 50041 wiring configurations for each switch code.(Ag=silver contacts, Au=gold-plated contacts)
- Pages 5 and 6 for specific travel distances for each switch code, and specifications.
- Page 7 proper application of limit switches, and switch mounting dimensions.
- Perform adjustments (if desired):
- Head orientation (Figure 1).
- Actuation direction (Figure 2).
- Side rotary switches with 90° positive drive levers (catalog listings ending in A1A, A1B, A5A, A5B) (Figure 3):
- Ensure flats of switch shaft engage groove in actuator lever.
- Tighten locking screw (A) until tab (B) no longer moves.
- Mount switch using four M5 or #10 screws. Torque screws to 4,9 Nm to 5,9 Nm [43 in-lb to 52 in-lb].
- Remove screws on cover plate.
- Connect stranded wire (0,75 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, 18-14 AWG) or solid wire (0,75 mm2 to 1,5 mm2, 18-16 AWG) to connector terminals (use 90 °C wire when ambient temperature is over 75 °C). Torque switch terminal screws to 0,8 Nm to 1,0 Nm [7 in-lb to 9 in-lb].
- Seal conduit opening according to instructions in PK 80112.
- Reassemble cover plate, and torque cover screws to 0,5 Nm [4.4 in-lb].
