Magnetic Locking RFID Non-contact Safety Switches

IDEM dual-purpose safety switches provide a means of locking machine guards, doors, gates, etc. and also monitor these safety barriers, disabling the guarded machinery when it is being accessed. Using RFID technology, these coded switches provide high anti-tamper protection to ensure the safety mechanism cannot be bypassed. The embedded electromagnet provides different levels of locking force and only when the proper actuator is in the correct position will the lock be achieved and the safety outputs closed.

• Available in plastic, die cast metal, or IP69K rated stainless steel models
• Heavy duty or medium duty holding force models available
• Master coded switches are coded by series (any actuator will operate any switch); this is used when unique door activation is not required
• Uniquely coded models are factory set and used when unique activation is required
• Flexible actuator for a high degree of misalignment tolerance
• Able to connect to most popular safety relays to achieve up to PLe and Cat.4 for ISO3849-1
• Ability to connect up to 20 switches and E-stops in series
• Choice of 8-wire cable or M12 quick connect (purchase cables separately for the M12 QC)
• Remanence magnetization acts as a light magnetic latch after unlocking
• (2) N.C. (door closed - lock energized) safety outputs, overload protected
• (1) N.O. auxiliary output for indication of door open
• Includes both switch and actuator
