Functional Description
KSR magnetic switches type MRU20-Ex are non-intrusive switches.
They basically consist of a contact enclosure with a built-in reed contact.
This reed contact is triggered on entering the magnetic field of a perma-
nent magnet.
Area of Application
The magnetic switch MRU20-EX is an approved explosion-proof device
with type of approval "Encapsulation" EExm, Category 2G, Group IIB,
Temperature Class T6. It is approved by Institut für Sicherheitstechnik in
Freiberg/Sachsen (EU-Kenn-Nr.0637) with reference
IBExU 00 ATEX1063 X
Magentic switches MRU20-EX can be used in hazardous area Zone 1
and 2 or in non-hazardous areas if non-intrusive switches are required.
When mounted in an aggressive environment, the material of the hou-
sing must be selected to suit those conditions. The place of installation
will determine the grade of ingress protection of the switch selected.
Special requirements as stated in the certificate of approval must
be observed.
- The control circuit that includes the magnetic switch type MRU20-
EX must feature a fuse , max. 1,0A semi time-lag, switch-off capaci-
tiy 4000A.
- Connection of the switch cable has to be made in a non-hazardous
area or with a junction carrying the relevant approval to DIN EN
50014:2000.
- Connection cables have to be protected against damage.
Mounting the Magnetic Switch
Please insert the KSR magnetic switch MRU20-EX in either a M20 x 1,5
thread or fix it with two nuts on a holder.
No ferromagnetic fixing components must be used. A distance of ap-
prox. 5 - 10 mm must be kept when fixing to ferromagnetic bases.
Protective enclosures must be made of non-magnetic materials.
