*3: Basic insulation of 2.5kV impulse withstand voltage is ensured between different contact 

circuits and between contact circuits and LED or solenoid in the enclosure. When both 

SELV (safety extra low voltage) or PELV (protective extra low voltage) circuits and other 

circuits (such as 230V AC circuits) are used for the solenoid power and contact circuits at 

the same time, the SELV or PELV requirements are not met any more.

*4: The actuator locking strength is rated at 1400N of static load. Do not apply a load higher 

than the rated value. When a higher load is expected to work on the actuator, provide an 

additional system consisting of another safety switch without lock or a sensor to detect 

door opening and stop the machine.

• Install the interlock switch on the immovable machine or guard, and install the actuator on the   

movable door. Do not install both interlock switch and actuator on the movable door, otherwise 

failure will occur.

• See the figures below.

The SG-B2 Head

• Changing the Mounting Directions of the 

SG-B2

 Head.

The head of the 

SG-B2

 can be 

mounted in four directions by removing 

the four screws from the corners of the 

SG-B2

 head.  

• 

Head Removal Detection Function

(Type 

SG-B2-K□

)

When the key is operated, the operation of the monitor circuit (41-42) and monitor circuits (51-52) 

are the same. However, when the head is removed, disparity is detected (41-42 : OFF, 51-52: ON). 

The disparity of the contacts detects the removal of the head.

(Type 

SG-B2-K□-L5

)

Installing the manual rear unlocking button

• 

After installing the interlock switch on the 

panel, put the manual rear unlocking 

button (supplied ) on the rod on the back 

of the interloc k switch, and fasten using 

the mounting screw. When installin g on 

the aluminum frame of the thickness of 

6mm or more, use the rear unlocking 

button for frame kit (

MS-SG-23

 / 

MS-SG-22

) sold separately.

For Mounting

• 

Do not apply an excessive shock to the safety switch when opening or closing the door.

A shock to the safety switch exceeding 1,000 m/s

2

 may cause failure.

• 

Regardless of door types, do not use the safety switch as a door lock. Install a sepatate 

lock as shown in 3.

• 

Do not open the lid of the switch. Loosening the screws may cause damage to the switch.

• 

Entry of foreign objects in the actuator entry slot may affect the mechanism of the switch 

and cause a breakdown. If the operating atmosphere is contaminated, use a protective 

cover to prevent the entry of foreign objects into the switch through the actuator entry 

slots.

• 

Do not fasten and loosen the conduit at the bottom of the safety 

switch.

• 

When wiring, make sure that liquid such as water and oil does not 

intrude from the tip of cable.

• 

When bending the cable during wiring, secure the cable radius of 

30 mm at the minimum.

• 

Use the dedicated actuators only. Other actuators will cause 

damage to the switch.

(Type 

SG-K24

)

Adjusting the Angle Adjustable (vertical/horizontal) Actuator

• 

Using the angle adjustment screw (M3 hexagon socket set screw), the actuator angle can 

be adjusted up to 20°(refer to dimensions).

• 

The larger the actuator angle, the smaller the applicable radius of the door swing.

After installing the actuator, open the door. Then adjust the actuator angle so that the 

actuator enters the entry slot of the safety switch properly.

• 

After adjusting the actuator angle, apply loctite or the like on the adjustment screw to 

prevent loosening.

• 

Use screw locking agent that is compatible with the base material.

Base: PA66 (66 nylon) of glass reinforced grade

Angle adjustment screws: stainless steel

• 

Do not mount the interlock switch facing down as shown in 

the figure on the right. The key may fall due to vibration.

Key

Be sure to take the following precautions. Otherwise, 

failure or damage may occur.

• When using the key, insert the key all the way.

• Do not apply a rotative force when inserting or removing 

the key. Also, do not pull the key during operation. 

Otherwise failure or damage may occur.

• 

Other than the standard key, there are 15 key variations. 

Be sure to use a key and cylinder with the same number.

•  Do  not  apply  excessive  force  to  the  key.  Otherwise 

failure or damage may occur.

• With the key in the UNLOCK position, do not turn the 

key to the LOCK position with the actuator removed 

(door open). Otherwise failure or damage may occur.

(Type 

SG-B2-K□-L5

)

For the Rear Unlock Button

•  The  Rear  Unlock  Button  is  used  for  an  emergency 

escape when the worker is confined in the safety 

hedge (the dangerous area).

•  The  lock  is  released  when  the  Rear  Unlock  Button  is 

pressed, and the door can be opened.

• To  return  to  locked  status,  pull  back  the  button.  While 

the Rear Unlock Button is depressed, the main circuit 

remains open and the door is unlocked.

Mounting Directions of the SG-B2 Head

• 

When replacing the 

SG-B2

 head, make sure that no foreign object enters into the safety 

switch. Tighten the screws tightly, without leaving space between the head and body, 

otherwise the safety switch may malfunction.

Don't remove the screws of head expect when the mouting directions of head is changed.

• 

After installing the manual rear unlocking button, apply Loctite to the screw so that the 

screw does not become loose. The base is made of glass-reinforced PA66 (66 nylon). The 

mounting screw is iron. Take the compatibility of plastic material and Loctite into 

consideration.

• 

Regardless of door types, do not use the safety switch as a door stop.

Install a mechanical door stop to the end of the door to protect the safety switch against 

excessive force.

• Mount the actuator so that it will not hit the operator when the door is open, otherwise injury may 

be cvaused.

• Turn off the power to the safety switch before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, 

and inspection on the safety switch. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire 

hazard.

• Mount the actuator so that it will not hit the operator when the door is open, otherwise injury may 

be cvaused.

• Pay attention to the management of spare actuator. Safety function of door interlock switch will 

be lost in case the spare actuator is inserted into the interlock switch.

•  Ensure  that  the  actuator  is  firmly  fastened  to  the  door  (welding,  rivet,  special  screw)  in  the 

appropriate location, so that the actuator cannot be removed easily.

• Do not cut or remodel the actuator, otherwise failure will occur.

• If multiple safety components are wired in series, the Performance Level to EN ISO 13849-1 will 

be reduced due to the restricted error detection under certain circumstance.

• The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety component is integrated, must be 

validated to EN ISO 13849-2.

• 

Turn off the power to the safety switch before starting installation, removal, wiring, 

maintenance, and inspection on the safety switch. Failure to turn power off may cause 

electrical shocks or fire hazard.

• 

Do not disassemble or modify the switch. Also do not attempt to disable the interlock switch 

function, otherwise a breakdown or an accident will result.

• 

Install the 

SG-B2

 to ensure that a worker can operate the Rear Unlock Button from inside 

the safety hedge (the dangerous area). It is dangerous to install the 

SG-B2

 in the position 

where the Rear Unlock Button can be operated from outside the the safety hedge (the 

dangerous area), because it is possible to unlock while the machine is operating.

• 

Use hand to press the button, and do not use a tool. Do not apply excessive force to the 

Rear Unlock Button.

The values shown above are based on the condition that the actuator enters and exits the actuator 

entry slot smoothly when the door is closed or opened. Since there may be deviation or dislocation 

of the hinged door, make sure of correct operation in the actual application before installation.

SG-K21A / SG-K22A

• When there is a displacement of safety switch and actuator, the actuator may hit the entry 

slot of safety switch hardly, thus damaging the entry slot and actuator. The rubber 

cushions on the actuator prevent the actuator from damaging the entry slit by absorbing 

the shock with movement flexibility. Do not, however, exert excessive shocks, otherwise 

the failure of safety switch may be caused. 

•  The  rubber  cushions  may  deteriorate  depending  on  the  operating  environment  and 

conditions. 

Immediately replace the deformed or cracked rubber cushions with new ones.

Actuator Mounting Referance Position

• As shown below, the mounting reference position of the actuator inserted into the safety 

switch is:

The actuator and actuator cover touches the actuator stop placed on the safety switch 

lightly.

(After mounting the actuator, remove the actuator stop from the safety switch.)

Actuator Mounting Tolerance

• Mounting tolerance of the actuator is 1.0 mm in the 

four lateral directions.

• When closing the door, the actuator is inserted and 

locked within a certain distance from the reference 

position. After the actuator has been locked, the 

contact operation is not affected by the actuator 

movement in the locked state.

Minimum Radius of Hinged Door

•  When  using  the  safety  switch  for  a  hinged  door,  the  minimum  radius  of  the  applicable 

door is shown in the following figures.
