Application Example

Contributes to downsizing of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Thinnest safety door
switches on the market.
Downsizing equipment used inside clean rooms
As clean rooms cannot be easily expanded, the demand for downsizing of equipment is high to utilize limited space. However,even if downsizing is mechanically possible, the size of each part becomes a bottleneck and equipment cannot be madesmaller in many cases.
For example, when using parts that comply with SEMI standards, by considering safety, it is difficult to find the appropriate
size for parts and end up wasting space. Many of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturers most likely
want to use small parts.

Safety Precautions• In order to avoid electric shock or fire, turn power off before
installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, or inspection of theinterlock switch.
• If relays are used in the circuit between the interlock switch andthe load, use only safety relays, since welded or sticking contacts ofstandard 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 theload. Safety security can be endangered in the event of a malfunctionof the PLC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the interlock switch, otherwise amalfunction 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, theinterlock 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.

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

Instructions

Mounting
Mount the interlock switch on a fixated machine or
guard, and mount the actuator on the hinged door.
Do not mount both interlock switch and actuatoron hinged doors,otherwise, malfunction will occur.
Note: When mounting an actuator, make sure thatthe 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 separatelyby the user.
Note: The above recommended tightening torque of the mounting screw isthe value with hex socket head bolts. When other screws are used andtightened to a smaller torque, make sure that the screws do not become
loose after mounting.

Cable• 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 oroil does not enter from the end of cable.

Safety Products

Safety Precautions• In order to avoid electric shock or fire, turn power off before
installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, or inspection of theinterlock switch.
• If relays are used in the circuit between the interlock switch andthe load, use only safety relays, since welded or stick­ing contacts ofstandard 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 theload. Safety security can be endangered in the event of a malfunctionof the PLC.

• Do not disassemble or modify the interlock switch, other­wise amalfunction or an accident may occur.
• Do not install the actuator in a location where a human body may
come into contact. Otherwise injury may occur.
• Solenoid lock is locked when energized, and unlocked when deenergized. When energization is interrupted due to wire disconnection
or other failures, the interlock switch may be unlocked causing
possible danger to the operators. Solenoid lock must not be used inapplications where locking is strictly required for safety. Perform arisk assess­ment and determine whether solenoid lock is appro­priate.

Control Boxes
Emergency
Stop Switches

Switches

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.
• When unlocking, the switch may not be unlocked if a load is applied
to the actuator.
• 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, or in an area subjected to direct sunlight.
• Use dedicated actuators only. When other actuators are used, theinterlock switch may be damaged.
• For correct operation, install the interlock switch on a flat surface andprovide sufficient strength to the surface so that it is not disfigured.
Do not insert any object between the interlock switch and installation
surface.
• Do not cut the actuator. modification of the actuator may cause
damage.
• The locking strength is rated at 500N. Do not apply a load higher than
the rated value. When a higher load is expected, provide an additional
system consisting of another interlock switch without lock (such as
the HS6B/HS7A interlock switch) or a sensor to detect door opening
and stop the machine.
• Regardless of door types, do not use the interlock switch as a door
lock. Install a separate lock using a latch or other measures.
• While the solenoid is energized, the switch temperature rises
approximately 35°C above the ambient temperature (to approximately
85°C while the ambient temperature is 50°C). Do not touch to prevent
burns. If cables come into contact with the switch, use heat-resistantcables.
• Solenoid has polarity. Be sure of correct polarity when wiring,otherwise solenoid will be damaged. Do not apply voltage over the
rated voltage, otherwise the solenoid will be burnt.
• Bouncing will occur on the lock monitor contact during locking andunlocking (reference value: 20 ms).

APEM

• Although the HS9Z-A61/A62/A62S actuators alleviate shock when
the actuator enters a slot in the interlock switch, make sure that
excessive shock is not applied.
If the rubber bushings become deformed or cracked, replace withnew ones.

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

When Using the HS9Z-A62/A62S Right-angle Actuator• When the door hinge is on the extension line of the interlock switch surface:

Manual Unlocking
Position• When locking or unlocking the interlock switch manually, turn the key
fully using the manual unlock key supplied with the switch.
• Using the interlock switch with the key not fully turned (less than 90°)
may cause damage to the interlock switch or operation failures (whenmanually unlocked, the switch will keep the main circuit disconnected
and the door unlocked).
• Do not apply excessive force (0.45 N·m or more) to the manual unlock
part, otherwise the manual unlock part will become damaged.
• Do not leave the manual unlock key attached to the switch during
operation. This is dangerous because the switch can always be unlocked
while the machine is in operation.
Manual Unlock Key(supplied with the interlock switch)

When unlocking pushing the plate inside the interlock switch• Remove the screw at the side of the interlock switch (the same side
where actuator is inserted) and insert a small screwdriver.
• Push the plate inside the interlock switch toward the LED indicator using
the screwdriver until the actuator is unlocked.
• Tighten the screw to a proper torque (0.3 to 0.5 N·m). Do not tighten withexcessive force, otherwise the interlock switch will be damaged. Be sure
to reinstall the screw, otherwise the waterproof capability will be lost.

Caution
Before manually unlocking the interlock switch, make sure that themachine has come to a complete stop. Manual unlocking during operation
may unlock the interlock switch before the machine stops, and the functionof the interlock switch with solenoid is lost. While the solenoid is energized,
do not unlock the switch manually (solenoid lock).

HS6E Subminiature Interlock Switches with Solenoid• Interlock switch: 1.0 to 1.5 N·m (three M4 screws)• Actuators: 1.0 to 1.5 N·m (two M4 screws)• The above recommended tightening torques of the mounting screws are
the values with hex socket head bolts. When other screws are used andtightened to a smaller torque, make sure that the screws do not become
loose after mounting.
• Mounting bolts are not supplied with the interlock and must be suppliedby the user.
• To avoid unauthorized or unintended removal of the interlock switch andthe actuator, it is recommended that the interlock switch and the actuator
are installed in an unremovable manner, for example using special
screws, rivets, or welding the screws.
• When installing the HS9Z-A62S actuator, use the mounting plate (suppliedwith the actuator) on the hinged door, and secure the actuator tightly
using two M4 screws.
• The mounting plate has orientation.
• Do not lose the mounting plate.
