It features spring-locked auxiliary release with lock and has a magnet voltage of 115 V AC. The switch includes monitoring with 2 NC/1 NO for auxiliary contacts and 2 NC/1 NO for the monitoring magnet. It is supplied without an actuator, which must be ordered separately (Actuator 3SE5000-0AV0). The switch operates at 230V and 6A with an IP66/IP67 protection rating, making it durable and suitable for industrial environments. It is designed with a metal housing and lacquered coating. The type of electric connection is a cable entry metrical. Operating ambient temperature ranges from -25 to 60 °C. It is suitable for safety functions and uses the quiescent current principle for guard locking.

Product Information
Full details
The Siemens 3SE5312-0SD11 safety position switch is designed for industrial environments requiring robust safety interlocks on machine guards. Its key benefit is a high locking force of 2600 N and versatile 5-direction approach support, ensuring secure guard closure. A crucial caveat is that the actuator must be ordered separately, as this unit is supplied without one. This switch features a durable metal housing, IP66/IP67 protection, and 2 NC/1 NO auxiliary contacts for monitoring. It operates on a 115 V AC magnet voltage and is suitable for safety functions utilizing the quiescent current principle for guard locking.

FAQs
What is the locking force of the Siemens 3SE5312-0SD11?
The switch provides a locking force of 2600 N.
Does this switch come with an actuator?
No, this unit is supplied without an actuator. The compatible actuator (Actuator 3SE5000-0AV0) must be ordered separately.
What is the voltage requirement for the magnetic release?
The magnetic release operates on 115 V AC.
What is the protection rating of this switch?
It has an IP66/IP67 protection rating, offering high resistance to dust and water.
How many auxiliary contacts does the switch have?
It features 2 NC/1 NO auxiliary contacts for monitoring the switch status and 2 NC/1 NO for the monitoring magnet.
Can this switch be used outdoors?
With its IP66/IP67 rating and wide operating temperature range (-25 to 60 °C), it is suitable for many demanding outdoor industrial environments, provided it is installed correctly.
What type of electrical connection does it use?
It uses a cable entry of a metrical type.
Troubleshooting
Switch does not engage or disengage correctly
Verify that the actuator is correctly aligned and fully inserted into the switch. Check for obstructions or damage to the switch mechanism or actuator. Ensure the 115 V AC magnet voltage is correctly applied when required.
Safety circuit does not reset after guard is closed
Confirm that both sets of NC contacts (auxiliary and magnet monitoring) are properly closed. Check wiring integrity and ensure the magnet voltage is present if required for unlocking. Verify the actuator is fully seated.
Switch fails due to environmental factors (dust/moisture)
Ensure all cable entries are properly sealed and tightened. Inspect the housing for any cracks or damage that might compromise the IP66/IP67 rating. Clean the exterior gently.
Machine does not start even when guard is closed and locked
Check the status of the auxiliary contacts via the control system. Ensure the 115 V AC magnet voltage is correctly supplied for unlocking if necessary. Review the overall safety circuit logic and interconnections.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Provides a high and secure locking force for safety applications.
Flexible mounting options due to 5-direction approach capability.
Durable construction suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities for integrated safety systems.
High level of protection against dust and water ingress (IP66/IP67).
Cons
Actuator must be purchased separately, adding to the total cost and complexity.
Requires a specific voltage (115 V AC) for the magnetic release.
The quiescent current principle might not be suitable for all safety concepts without proper integration.
Metal housing, while durable, can be heavier than plastic alternatives.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the environment meets the operating temperature range of -25 to 60 °C.
Securely mount the switch housing to the machine frame.
*Crucially, order the compatible actuator (Actuator 3SE5000-0AV0) separately and mount it to the machine guard so it aligns with the switch when closed.*
Connect the electrical wiring according to the diagrams for the auxiliary contacts (2 NC/1 NO) and the magnetic release (115 V AC), ensuring proper grounding.
Test the switch's functionality thoroughly before putting the machine into operation.
Compatibility:
Designed to work with the specified Siemens actuator (3SE5000-0AV0).
Requires a 115 V AC power source for the magnetic release function.
Suitable for integration into safety circuits compliant with relevant industrial safety standards.
Care:
Regularly inspect the switch and actuator for signs of damage, wear, or obstruction.
Keep the switch area clean; use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh solvents.
Ensure cable entries remain sealed to maintain IP66/IP67 protection.
