This unit is part of the BNS 260 series, known for its compact footprint and robust design. This specific model is fully loaded: it features **2 NC Safety contacts** and **1 NO Signaling contact**, an integrated **LED indicator**, and a **Connector («ST»)** for plug-and-play installation. The «R» designates it for **Right-Hand** door mounting (actuator approaches from the left).
Technical Specifications and LED Diagnostics
The BNS 260 is designed to be tamper-resistant using coded magnets. The enclosure is **IP 67**, suitable for washdown areas. The **Integrated LED** is a massive time-saver for maintenance; it lights up when the guard is closed and safe, allowing operators to spot a misaligned door instantly from across the factory floor. The use of a connector instead of a hard-wired cable simplifies replacement in case of damage.

Expert Installation Advice: The «R» vs «L» Trap
The BNS 260 housing is not symmetrical. Expert Tip: Verify your door swing before buying. This is the **Right (R)** version. If you try to mount it on a left-opening door, the cable connector might face the wrong way (into the hinge or the wall), making wiring impossible. Always check the cable exit direction on the datasheet relative to your machine frame.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What connector cable do I need?
A: It typically uses a standard 6-pole or 4-pole circular connector (e.g., M8 or similar specific to the series). Check the pin assignment (BNS-Y-11) to match the BNS 260 pinout.
Q: Can I mount it on steel?
A: Not directly. You must use spacers to prevent the steel from dampening the magnetic field and reducing the sensing range.
