HS6B Subminiature Interlock Switches
World-class compactness with three poles of contacts.
• World’s smallest switch: 30 × 15 × 78 mm
• Dual contacts and monitor contacts achieve the highest safety category (ISO 13849-1, EN 954-1)
• Two actuator entry slots provide flexibility for installation options.
• Integral cable design minimizes wiring, preventing wiring mistakes.
• Can be mounted in two directions.
• Degree of protection (contacts): IP67 (IEC 60529)
Housing allows drainage.
• NC contacts are direct opening action (IEC/EN 60947-5-1).
• Proprietary actuators prevent unauthorized opening of the contacts
(ISO14119, EN1088).

Minimum Radius of Hinged Door
••When using the interlock switch on hinged doors, refer to the
minimum radius of doors shown below. When using on doors
with small minimum radius, use the angle adjustable actuator
(HS9Z-A65 and HS9Z-A66).
Note: Because deviation or dislocation of hinged doors may occur
in actual applications, make sure of the correct operation
before installation.

••Using the angle adjustment screw, the actuator angle can be
adjusted (see figures on page 9).
Adjustable angle: 0 to 20°
••The larger the adjusted angle of the actuator, the smaller the
applicable radius of the door opening.
••After installing the actuator, open the door. Then adjust the
actuator so that its edge can enter properly into the actuator
entry slot of the interlock switch.
••After adjusting the actuator angle, apply Loctite to the adjustment screw so that the screw will not become loose.

Safety Precautions
••In order to avoid electric shock or fire, turn power off before installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, or inspection of the interlock switch.
••If relays are used in the circuit between the interlock
switch and the load, use only safety relays, since welded
or sticking contacts of standard relays may invalidate the
functions of the interlock switch. Perform a risk assessment and make a safety circuit which satisfies the requirements of the safety category.
••Do not place a PLC in the circuit between the interlock
switch and the load. Safety security can be endangered in
the event of a malfunction of the PLC.
••Do not disassemble or modify the interlock switch, otherwise a malfunction or an accident may occur.
••Do not install the actuator in the location where a human
body may come into contact. Otherwise injury may occur.
Instructions
••Regardless of door types, do not use the interlock switch
as a door stop. Install a mechanical door stop at the end of
the door to protect the interlock switch against excessive
force.
••Do not apply excessive shock to the interlock switch when
opening or closing the door. A shock to the interlock switch
exceeding 1,000 m/s2 may cause damage to the interlock
switch.
••If the operating atmosphere is contaminated, use a protective cover to prevent the entry of foreign objects into the
interlock switch through the actuator entry slots.
••Entry of a considerable amount of foreign objects into the
interlock switch may affect the mechanism of the interlock
switch and cause a malfunction.
••Do not store the interlock switches in a dusty, humid, or
organic-gas atmosphere.
••Use proprietary actuators only. When other actuators are
used, the interlock switch may be damaged.
••Do not modify the actuator, otherwise it will damage the
interlock switch.
••Cover the unused actuator entry slot using the slot plug
supplied with the interlock switch.
Mounting
Wire Identification
Mount the interlock switch on the
machine. Mount the actuator on the
hinged door.
••Wires can be identified by color and/or a white line printed
on the wire.
Colored Insulation
Note: When mounting an actuator, make sure
that the actuator enters into the slot in
the correct direction, as shown on the
right.
Recommended Screw Tightening Torque
••Interlock switch (M4 screw): 1.0 to 1.5 N·m
••Actuator (M4 screw): 1.0 to 1.5 N·m
••Mounting bolts are not supplied, and must be purchased
separately by the user.
Note: The above recommended tightening torque of the mounting
screw is the value with hex socket head bolts. When other
screws are used and tightened to a smaller torque, make
sure that the screws do not become loose after mounting.

••Do not fasten or loosen the gland at the bottom of the
interlock switch.
••When bending cable during wiring, make sure that the
cable radius is kept at 40 mm minimum.
••When wiring, make sure that water or
oil does not enter from the end of
cable.
