Coded Safety Interlock Switch & Control Unit Satisfy Category 3 Safety Requirements
FREMONT, CA – Scientific Technologies, Inc. introduces the MC-S Series compact coded magnetic safety interlock switch. This tamper resistant non-contact safety interlock switch operates with its own control unit, which provides motor contactor monitoring and/or a manual reset function. This allows the MC-S Series control units to replace a safety relay in some applications. As a fully monitored dual channel system, a single MC-S Series switch and control unit combines to fulfill category 3 requirements.
Available in three sizes with a plastic or stainless steel NEMA 6 enclosure, the MC-S Series switch satisfies most application requirements and is well suited to harsh environments. A single MC-S Series control unit can provide individual monitoring and indication for up to six MC-S switches in applications with multiple guard doors. Mechanical switches and MC-S Series switches may be used in concert with a single MC-S Series control unit in applications requiring both non-contact and mechanical safety interlock switches. These switches are available with auxiliary contacts for individual guard door monitoring and tolerate misalignment to reduce nuisance tripping.
