Safety switching device

Operating-mode selecting assembly of reader unit, selector, and key

A safety switching device for controlling a load having at least one input for receiving an input signal and one output for outputting an output signal, and having an electrical circuit which provides the output signal as a function of the input signal. The electrical circuit is arranged on a printed circuit board and is coupled to at least one setting component for setting an operating parameter of the safety switching device. The surface of the printed circuit board defines a mounting plane, and the at least one setting component has an adjusting element in a housing and is arranged recessed on the printed circuit board so that the housing of the adjusting element intersects the mounting plane.
