Description

Approach direction

Horizontal and vertical

Can be adjusted in 90° steps

LED indicator

The switch has two freely assignable LED indicators (red and green).

Guard locking principle

Open-circuit current (power on to lock): On a guard with guard locking based on the open-circuit current principle, the guard is locked until the power supply to the guard locking solenoid is interrupted. Unlocking is by spring force. The term electrical guard locking is also used.

Switching element

ETX C

Slow-action switching contact

Contacts for guard locking: 2 positively driven contacts + 1 NO contact

Contacts for door monitoring: 1 NO contact

Auxiliary release

The auxiliary release on the front makes it possible to access the machine if there is a malfunction, e.g. a power failure. Unlocking is performed using a tool or a key. The auxiliary release must be protected against misuse (sealing, lacquer).

Accessories required

Actuator is not included.
