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.With headquarters in the heart of Silicon Valley, STI was founded over 30 years ago and employs more than 330 people.
