200 FailSafe GuardSwitch Series

Non-Contact Safety Interlock Switch - FailSafe

Description

The FailSafe Guardswitch is designed as a safety interlock to be attached to a machine's guard or door.  Unlike a standard reed switch interlock, the circuit has been designed to have an "open" failure mode.  If the main reed sticks closed when the guard opens, the in-line fuse will blow, opening the circuit.  If the watchdog reed sticks closed when the guard closes, the in-line fuse will blow, opening the circuit.  The circuit will draw up to 4.0A to blow the fuse in less than 200 ms.

Environmental:   Hermetically sealed contact switch encapsulated in polyurethane

Response time (individual circuits):    5 msec
 
Life cycles:   100,000 under full load; up to 200,000,00 under dry circuit

Lead Types/O.D.:    Jacketed (J) 18/3 AWG / 0.24” (0.62cm)
                                   SJTOW-A(K) 18/3 AWG / 0.33" (0.84cm)

Note:  The F6 model has a patented “watch-dog” circuit which, when switch failure occurs, the fused watch-dog circuit will draw 2.5 Amps. The voltage supply must have a current capacity of 2.5 Amps. This results in an open, fail-safe condition.

Note:  The F7 model has a patented "watch dog" circuit which, when switch failure occurs, the fused watch-dog circuit will draw 4.0 Amps.  The voltage supply must have a current capacity of 4.0 Amps.   This results in an open, fail-safe condition.
