3.1
IN3000 Direct series safety
switches
The IN3000 Direct series safety switches all use the
same principle of operation, but differ in design,
installation, response range and classification.
The IN30-E0407K, IN30-E0305K and IN30-E0208K
safety switches are fitted in a cylindrical housing and
are not suitable for flush installation.
The IN30-E0306K safety switch is installed in a
cylindrical housing and is suitable for flush
installation.

Features and principle of operation
The IN3000 Direct series safety switches are typically
used for safe position detection, as is the case, e.g.,
when monitoring a movable guard. The sensor detects
the presence or absence of metal.
Using LEDs the status can be read directly on the
sensor. Errors, for example a coil break and short
circuits, are detected by the sensor's self-monitoring.
On switching on the IN3000 Direct safety switch the
readiness time (t
time there may be invalid signals on the outputs
OUT1/OUT2 that may cause input errors on the
related evaluation unit or safe control.
