Key Specifications
Model: GSE10-N1211

Series: GSE10

Type: Coded-Magnetic Safety Interlock Switch. It uses a magnetically coded actuator for increased security against tampering (e.g., using a standard magnet to bypass the safety function).

Safety Classification:

Type 4 according to IEC 60947-5-3

PL e (Performance Level e) / Category 4 according to ISO 13849-1

SIL 3 according to IEC 61508

Operating Principle: Magnetic field sensing with code evaluation.

Number of Channels: Dual-channel (2 N/O contacts). This redundant design is a key requirement for achieving high safety levels (Category 4).

Contact Configuration: 2 N/O (Normally Open) contacts

Rated Voltage: 24 V DC

Switching Current: 100 mA per channel

Switching Distance (Sr): 11 mm (The maximum reliable sensing distance between the switch and the actuator).

Housing Material: Plastic (PA)

Protection Rating: IP67 (Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water). This makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Connection: M12, 5-pin quick-disconnect connector. This is a very common and convenient industrial connector type.

Actuator Model: Typically used with a specific SICK actuator like the GM10-A-1111.

Mechanical Life: > 5 million operations

Ambient Temperature Range: -30 °C to +75 °C (-22 °F to +167 °F)

Typical Applications:
The GSE10-N1211 is used to safely monitor the position of:

Machine access doors

Safety fences and gates

Control cabinets with safety interlocks

Hinged or sliding guards on robotic cells

Any movable guard that requires a secure, tamper-resistant interlock solution.
