Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Schmersal 103003602 (Model: RSS 36-D-R-ST), a state-of-the-art Non-Contact Safety Sensor utilizing RFID Technology. This sensor represents the highest level of safety monitoring (PLe / SIL 3) and tamper resistance. Unlike magnetic switches, the RSS 36 cannot be defeated by standard magnets. This model features a built-in **Diagnostic Output («D»)**, a **Latching Magnet («R»)**, and an **M12 Connector («ST»)** for rapid integration.
Technical Specifications and Tamper Protection
The RSS 36 series is designed for flexibility and hygiene. The housing is made of durable thermoplastic and allows for varied mounting positions. The «R» variant includes an integrated permanent magnet that provides a latching force of approx. **18 N**. This is not a safety lock, but a convenience feature to keep the door shut against drafts or vibration without needing an extra mechanical catch.

Expert Installation Advice: Series Wiring
The RSS 36 is perfect for daisy-chaining. Expert Tip: You can wire up to 31 RSS 36 sensors in series without losing the safety category (PLe). However, when using the «ST» (Connector) version, ensure you use the correct Y-distributors or passive field boxes to maintain the voltage levels. Voltage drop over long cable runs is the #1 cause of sporadic faults in large series-wired safety systems.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What does the Diagnostic Output do?
A: The «D» output sends a signal to your PLC (non-safety input) indicating the status of the door and the sensor (e.g., «Door Open», «Door Closed», or «Fault»), simplifying troubleshooting.
Q: Does it require a specific actuator?
A: Yes, it requires the **RST 36** RFID actuator. It will not work with magnets or metal flags.
