GE 301-BT-06 Quick Start Manual

Description
The 301-BT Series 300 DPST safety interlock switch is designed for use with safety
monitored relays or monitored circuits. To achieve the optimum Series 300 defeat
resistant feature of the 301-BT, both the switch circuit (Circuit 1) and the tamper
circuit (Circuit 2) must be connected. An optional third circuit can be provided to
indicate at the panel which guard is open.
Notes:
1. Environmental: Pollution Degree II
2. Correct use of this control device is an essential part of proper machine cycle
control.
3. Failure to follow ALL instructions could lead to serious bodily injury or death.
4. Maintenance to be done by qualified personnel only
5. The connecting cables between the INT devices and the switches must be located in
an IP 23 type enclosure (minimum).
6. The mounting for the switch and the actuator magnet must be accomplished per
this specification.
7. Non-removable hardware must be used for installation.
8. The housing of the 300-BT must be connected to the PE (Primary Earth) ground
circuit via a lock washer on the mounting screw. The PE ground symbol must be
placed adjacent to the screw.
To verify switch operation with an ohmmeter:
Set range at 20 mega ohms (switches with triac output, set ohm range at
20 kilo ohms). For a normally open switch, the meter will read a high impedance with
the actuator away. It will read very high to infinity range (triac switches will read high
kilo ohm to infinity range) with the actuator within sense range. You will see the
opposite reading for a normally closed switch.

Installation
Use non-removable screws, bolts, or nuts to mount the switch and actuator. Do not
over-torque mounting hardware.
1. Position the switch and actuator so the labels are reading in the same direction
(See Figure 1.)
2. Mount the switch on the stationary frame of the machine and mount the actuator
on the moveable guard, door or gate. Keep the switch and actuator within the
listed sense range. (See Ordering Information.) See Figure 2 for recommended
mounting configurations.
3. Mounting on a ferrous material will effect the sense range a minimum of 50%.
However, a 1/4" non-ferrous spacer positioned under the magnet and/or switch
should restore most of the lost sense range.
4. For best protection against operator defeat, mount with non-removable screws,
bolts or nuts. See ordering information for details.
5. Caution! When not used with a Sentrol INT relay particular care must be taken to
determine the actual load of the switch circuit. High voltage transients from coils,
motors, contactors and solenoids must be considered. Transient protection, such
as back-to-back zener diodes (TransZorb
such loads to ensure that maximum ratings of the switch are not exceeded. Not
recommended to be used with tungsten filament loads because of high current
inrush surges. Line capacitance and load capacitance must be considered.
