Compact "˜all in one' safety switch with safe output
The 171K series from elobau makes machine safety simple. This magnetic safety switch is ETL approved, and suitable for applications on small OEM machines or standalone equipment with a single point safety requirement; it removes the need for a safety switch and a separate safety relay. The device, which is believed to be unique on the market, utilises a standard M30 body.
Available in two operating versions - front actuation, which requires the magnet approaching to the front of the device, and lateral actuation, where the magnet approaches to the side of the device. Selection of the appropriate magnet provides a reliable switching distance of up to 21mm.
It is available for operation on 230V AC or 24V DC with a 2.5amp rated safe output contact. The six-wire device has two wires for the power supply, two wires for the safe output, and two wires for the control output. The switch is fitted with a diagnostic LED indicator as standard, and is suitable for use up to PLd/SIL CL3/Cat3.
Protection to IP67 and an operating temperature range of -25 to +75degC means the switch copes easily with harsh industrial environments.
