Machine builders looking to implement a risk reduction strategy for machinery that present low-risk face the challenge to find a cost-effective safety device that meets all the functional safety requirements. The MFS non-contact door switches offer magnetic ferroresonant technology, which increases tamper resistance, and can be used in stand-alone applications or easily combined with safety monitoring relays in applications requiring a higher level of safety reliability.  The MFS’s compact size, dual led indicator, and optional M12 connector, makes it easy to integrate into any machine design and assure friendly maintenance during operation.

Tabs
  • Tamper resistant
  • Direct switching of relays and contactors up to 2 A at 230 VAC
  • Compact size mounts easily on 1-in. square tubing
  • Use with safety monitoring relays in applications requiring a higher level of safety reliability
  • NEMA 4

Overview

  • Tamper resistant — the combination of magnetic and ferroresonant signals required to close the safety contacts makes the MFS very tamper resistant
  • Stand-alone — use for lower risk applications as a stand-alone safety switch allowing direct switching of relays and contactors up to 2 A at 230 VAC
  • MFS-11 provides a visible LED which illuminates green when the actuator is in range and contacts are closed
  • MFS-12 provides a dual color LED indicator. The LED illuminates green when the actuator is in range and the contacts are closed. The LED illuminates Red when the actuator is out of range and contacts are open.
  • Compact size — mounts easily on 1-in. square tubing
  • Use with safety monitoring relays in applications requiring a higher level of safety reliability
  • NEMA 4 enclosure enables water washdown cleaning
