Magnetic switch resists tampering

A Comitronic product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 9, 2006

The Massimotto is a tamperproof, contactless, coded, magnetic switch with an integrated M12 connector.

The latest machine safety switch from Comitronic is the Massimotto, a tamperproof, contactless, coded, magnetic switch with an integrated M12 connector.

It is rated Category 3 or 4 under the European standard EN954-1 for safety-related parts of control systems.

It can be used in all sectors and is particularly suitable for the food processing industry.

The Massimotto switch is fitted with an Acotom process, which is a fully electronic, tamperproof, magnet-based decoding system specifically designed to protect dangerous machines.

This device is an innovative technological concept and an easy-to-use replacement for mechanical locking systems.

The single or dual M12 connector can be used to connect switches in series on machines, meaning quick and easy fitting on all 25 or 45mm aluminium profiles.

The LED is viewed through a translucent area on the face of the switch.

It is resistant to shocks and vibrations.

Its cover protects the mounting screws, ensuring that it is doubly tamperproof.

The Massimotto range consists of two switches: the stand-alone and the nonautonomous switch.

The stand-alone switch, rated Category 3 under EN954-1, operates without a safety module.

The nonautonomous switch, rated Category 4 under EN954-1, must be combined with Comitronic's Awax safety module.

The Acotom process complies with UL/CSA standards and is TUV-certified.
