This safety switch enhances machine safety by ensuring protective doors remain locked until the machinery has completely stopped operating. It features advanced locking mechanisms that ensure a high level of safety while allowing for efficient maintenance.

• An auxiliary release key facilitates easy maintenance during power outages
• Robust aluminium die-casting provides durability and IP67 protection
• The direction-mounted head allows operation key insertion from multiple angles

• Utilised with the D4BL safety switch for effective mechanical protection
• Employed in automation settings to prevent unauthorised access
• Suitable for environments where adherence to safety standards is essential
• Ideal for installations requiring emergency stop features

Regular inspections are necessary to ensure the locking mechanism operates smoothly. Check for signs of wear or damage in the operating environment and replace components as needed.

During power failures, the auxiliary release key can manually unlock the safety switch, allowing access to the machinery without compromising safety. Only authorised personnel should handle the auxiliary release key.

The switch’s robust design, with an IP67 rating, protects against dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for challenging industrial settings. However, avoid exposure to substances that may enter through the keyhole.

Adhere closely to the wiring instructions, ensuring connections meet the specified torque settings for each terminal. Using high-quality connectors and sealing methods will help maintain ingress protection levels.
