Switch Operational Description

The magnetic switch is designed to operate in dirty industrial environments and is certified to the highest level of safety regulation when working together with a suitable Jokab Safety safety relay.

The magnetic switch is small and resistant to both dirt and water, and has no dust collecting cavities making it useful in environments where hygiene is paramount. The small size of the switch makes it easy to position and hide on gates and hatches. The magnetic switch has a long working life since no mechanical contact is made during operation.

Contacts

The magnetic switch has one closing and one opening contact. Both contacts have to be monitored. The contacts may be monitored by either theRT9 safety relay or other suitable relays in the new RT-series, i.e. RT6, RT9 or Pluto Safety PLC. By using the RT-series it is possible to choose between the reset(R) and test-input (T) functions.

The ‘R’ stands for reset / supervised reset, which can be used on safety installations allowing passage, for instance gates. In addition to the input from the magnetic sensor, the reset-input has to be both closed and opened before the output contacts can close. This means that neither a short circuit nor a stuck button can give a reset.

To disable the reset function, the two connection blocks on the safety relay have to be hardwire connected. The Reset input will become a Test-input (T), the output will then operate when the input contacts change state.

Both the Test and Reset inputs can also be used to test the functionality of relays and contactors connected to the relay outputs. By connecting a normally closed contact to the Reset/Test input it is possible to test that contactors/relays have returned to their ‘reset’ state before a new 'start' signal is given. For further information please see separate data sheet regarding Safety Relays in the RT-series.

JSNY7 is resistant to both dirt and water.

Protection from Unauthorized or Incidental Access

To avoid unauthorized operation of the JSNY7 switch  it is only possible to actuate the JSNY7R with the coded magnet, JSNY7M. Other magnets, screwdrivers and tools have no affect on the switch contacts.

Regulations and Standards

The JSNY7 is designed and approved inaccordance with appropriate directives and standards. Examples of such are: 98/37/EC, EN ISO 12100-1/-2, EN 60204-1 and EN 954-1/EN ISO 13849-1, EN 1088 and GS-ET 15.
