FAQ

What type of actuator key is required for the XCSB701?

The XCSB701 is designed to be used with XCSZ series actuators from Telemecanique, such as the XCSZ01, XCSZ02, or XCSZ03, depending on the application’s mounting and alignment needs. The actuator must be ordered separately.

What does the ‘slow-break, break before make’ contact operation mean?

‘Slow-break’ means the contact state changes in direct proportion to the actuator’s speed. ‘Break before make’ is a safety feature ensuring that the normally closed (NC) safety contacts are fully opened before the normally open (NO) auxiliary/signaling contact closes, guaranteeing a safe state signal.

Can this switch be used in a Category 4, PL e safety circuit according to ISO 13849-1?

Yes, when correctly integrated into a safety circuit with a suitable safety monitoring module (e.g., a Preventa XPS safety relay) and dual-channel wiring, the XCSB701 can be used in applications requiring up to Category 4, Performance Level e (PL e).
