2Fundamental Safety Instructions
2.1Intended use
The vacuum/pressure switches VSi-… / VSi-…-D are used only to measure vacuum and pressure. For further
information, see the technical data. Any other use is considered improper by the manufacturer and is
deemed as contrary to the designated use.
The product is built in accordance with the latest standards of technology and is delivered in a safe oper-
ating condition; however, hazards may arise during use.
The product is intended for industrial and commercial applications.
Intended use includes observing the technical data and the installation and operating instructions in this
manual.

Schmalz accepts no liability for damages caused by the use of the product for purposes other than those
described under "Intended Use."
Non-intended use includes the following:
• Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
2.3Personnel Qualification
Unqualified personnel cannot recognize dangers and are therefore exposed to higher risks!
The operating company must ensure the following points:
• The personnel must be commissioned for the activities described in these operating instructions.
• The staff must be at least 18 years of age and physically and mentally capable.
• The operating staff have been instructed in the operation of the product and have read and under-
stood the operating instructions.
• Installation, maintenance, and repairs must be carried out only by specialists or by persons who can
prove that they have undergone appropriate training.
Valid for Germany:
A qualified employee is defined as an employee who has received technical training and has the knowl-
edge and experience – including knowledge of applicable regulations – necessary to enable him or her to
recognize possible dangers and implement the appropriate safety measures while performing tasks. Qual-
ified personnel must observe the pertinent industry-specific rules and regulations.

2.5Residual Risks
WARNING
Serious injuries due to improper mounting!
4Carry out mounting and removal only when the device is in an idle, depressurized
state.
4Use only the connectors, mounting holes and attachment materials that have been
provided.
WARNING
Uncontrolled movements of system components or falling objects caused by incor-
rect activation and switching of the Ejector while persons are in the plant (safety
door opened and actuator circuit switched off)
Serious injury
4Ensure that the valves and ejectors are enabled via the actuator voltage by installing a
potential separation between the sensor and actuator voltage.
4Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE) when working in the danger
zone.
CAUTION
Noise pollution from leakage
Hearing damage
4Correct position.
4Wear ear protectors.
NOTE
Incorrect power supply
Destruction of the integrated electronics
4Operate the product using a power supply unit with protected extra-low voltage
(PELV).
4The system must incorporate safe electrical cut-off of the power supply in compliance
with EN60204.
4Do not connect or disconnect the connector under tension and/or when voltage is ap-
plied.
2.6Modifications to the Product
Schmalz assumes no liability for consequences of modifications over which it has no control:
1. The product must be operated only in its original condition as delivered.
2. Use only original spare parts from Schmalz.

3Product description
3.1General Description
The vacuum switch and pressure switch versions belonging to the VSi series are referred to
only as the switch below.
The VSi-series switch can be operated in two operating modes.
• Via direct connection to discrete inputs (standard I/O = SIO) or
• Via connection through the communication line (IO-Link class A)
Switching points are indicated using one or two orange LEDs. If the switching point is not active, opera-
tional readiness is indicated by a green LED at switching point 1. The LED for switching point 2 remains
deactivated.
Additionally, a multitude of information and status reports for the switch can be accessed using wireless
communication with NFC (near-field communication).
The parameters can also be set using two buttons on the display version (VSi-…-D). The current system
status and the settings are shown on a display.
The fluid connection offers the opportunity to align the switch in a screwed-in position.
3.2Versions
Each switch has a precise item designation (e.g. VSi-V-D-M8-4) that is composed of the following type
keys:
Type Pressure range Analog output Display Electrical connection
VSi V (-1 to 0bar) SA
(only available in
combination with
pressure range V)
D
(with integrated
display)
M12-4 (1xM12, 4-pin)
VP8 (-1 to +8 bar) M8-4 (1xM8, 4-pin)
P10 (0 to +10 bar)
