D4BS's exclusive-use Operation Key is provided
to assure accurate switching operation.
A triangular Set Zone Mark makes it
easy to adjust the operating position
when inserting the Operation Key.
A shearing force contact separating mechanism (NC
contact) is employed, which positively pulls apart the
contacts from each other by using shearing force if
any abnormality such as contact welding should occur
in the contact area.
There is a difference in level between the NC and NO
terminal, which assures easy wiring.
A ground terminal is provided to
improve safety. (Built into the
Unit.)
Available in four different types of conduit
threads: Pg 13.5, G1/2, or 1/2-14NPT, M20.
The operation plunger employs an oil seal, with
which the switch box meets the requirements of
IP67 (the sealing capability of the Operation Key's
insertion mouth is IP00).
The switch head is coated with easy-to-see red
paint. The mounting direction of the switch head can
be varied to any of the four directions.

Precautions
Do not dismount the Operation Key from the door intentionally and
insert it to the Switch with the door open. Machine may start oper-
ating and injury or death may be caused.
Mount the Operation Key at a location where it will not come in con-
tact with users when the door is opened or closed.
When operating the D4BS as a part of a safety category circuit to
prevent injury, operate the NC contacts that have a direct opening
mechanism in direct opening mode. For safety purposes, tighten the
switch body and Operation Key with one-way screws or equivalents
or install a switch protection cover and warning label for safety pur-
poses to prevent easy removal of the D4BS.
Connect the fuse to the D4BS in series to prevent it from short-circuit
damage. The value of the breaking current of the fuse must be calcu-
lated by multiplying rated current by 150% to 200%. When using the
D4BS with EN ratings, use 10-A fuse Type gI or gG that complies
with IEC60269.
Correct Use
Operating Environment
Make sure in advance that the environment is suitable, with no oil,
water, or chemicals, as these may cause the seal to deteriorate,
resulting in faulty contact, faulty isolation, current leakage, or burn-
ing.
Do not use the D4BS in the following locations:
Locations subject to severe temperature changes
Locations subject to high temperatures or condensation
Locations subject to severe vibration
Locations where the product may come into direct contact with pro-
cessing waste or dust
Operation Key
Be sure to use a special Operation Key only. Do not operate the
D4BS with anything other than the special Operation Key, otherwise
the D4BS may break or the safety of the system may not be main-
tained.
Do not impose excessive force on the Operation Key inserted into
the D4BS or drop the D4BS with the Operation Key inserted, other-
wise the Operation Key may deform or break.
Secure the Operation Key with a one-way screw, or an equivalent, so
that the Operation Key cannot be easily removed.
Securing the Door
If the Operation Key on the closed door is pulled outside the set zone
by a force caused by vibration, the door’s weight, or the door cushion
rubber, the switch contact may be opened (causing the machinery to
stop) or the D4BS may be damaged. Secure the door with hooks so
that it will remain within the set zone.
Mounting
Do not use the Switch as a stopper. Be sure to install a stopper as
shown in the following illustration when mounting the Switch. The
range of space “a” must be determined according to the available set
zone of the Operation Key.
Refer to Dimensions for the mounting dimension of the Operation
Key and mount the Operation Key correctly. The Operation Key will
soon become damaged or worn out if it is not mounted correctly.
Make sure that the Operation Key can be inserted properly with a tol-
erance of 0.5 mm in the upward, downward, left, or right direction,
otherwise the D4BS may soon become damaged.

Other
Make sure that the D4BS is located outside the safety door and that
no metal dust, oil, or chemical will be sprayed onto the D4BS. Other-
wise, the D4BS may soon fail to operate due to the penetration of
metal dust, oil, or chemical.
Tightening Torque
Be sure to tighten each screw of the D4BS properly, otherwise the
D4BS may malfunction.
Note: 1. Apply a torque of 0.78 o 0.88 N·m if the D4BS is a three-con-
duit model.
2. Apply a torque of 4.90 to 5.88 N·m in the case of an Allen-
head bolt. If it is a pan head screw, apply a torque of 2.35 to
2.75 N·m.
Mounting Dimensions (M5)
The D4BS can be mounted more securely by adding two protruding
portions, each of which is 5 mm maximum in height and
5–0.05/–0.15 mm in diameter as shown below.
Operating Key Mounting Dimensions
Changes in Head Mounting Direction
By removing the screws on the four corners of the head, the head
can be reset in any of four directions. The head direction can be
changed with or without the Operation Key inserted in the head.
Make sure that no foreign materials penetrate through the head and
that the head is tightened securely within the proper torque range.

Wiring
Do not connect the lead wires directly to the terminals. Connect the
lead wires through insulation tubes and M3.5 crimp terminals.
Tighten each terminal screw within the proper torque range.
The proper lead wire is AWG20 to AWG14 (0.5 to 2.5 mm2) in size.
Make sure that all crimp terminals are correctly connected and
located within the casing or cover as shown below.
Connector
Tighten the connector to a suitable torque. Excessive tightening
torque may damage the casing.
When using a 1/2-14NPT conduit, apply sealing tape between con-
nector and conduit opening so that the enclosure will confirm to IP67.
If using a Pg13.5 conduit, use an ABS-08 Pg13.5 connector or an
ABS-12 Pg13.5 connector (manufactured by Nippon Flex).
Use a connector (SC Series, sold separately) suitable for the outer
diameter of the cable.
When wiring a 3-conduit model, securely tighten the cap screw pro-
vided for unused conduit openings.
Maintenance and Repairs
The user must not maintain or repair equipment incorporating any
D4BS model. Contact the manufacturer of the equipment for any
maintenance or repairs required.
