Safety Door Interlock Switch 'SLC'

SLC safety switchA new generation of safety mechanical interlock switches, 'SLC' is being introduced by BERNSTEIN in Germany, and distributed by ITC in Canada.

These switches provide robust electro-mechanical locking of doors, covers, protection grilles, etc., while also remote monitoring access status and offering optional emergency opening from inside or outside the enclosure.

SLC switches feature a sturdy thermoplastic body and a metal head, designed to accept entry from 4 sides and from top (user-configurable) of the corresponding 'key' actuator. There are 2 types of operation possible: 'power-to-unlock' (the internal solenoid is powered to unlock)or 'power-to-lock' (lock is released when power is cut). A safety release operated by a screwdriver is present on the front (exterior of enclosure); optionally, this can be modified into an accessory handle. Inside the enclosure, an optional escape release handle enables immediate opening in case of emergency.

 

A number of options are available (the 2 types of operation above, 24V AC/DC or 120V AC operated solenoid, various contact configurations). Accessories include the emergency release handles described above, three types of “key” operators.

Ratings are 240VAC, 1.5A, operating temperature from -25 to 55°C, Ingress Protection IP67.

cULus certification expected July 2019.
