Safety interlock switch can never be bypassed
Schmersal (UK) have introduced a new range of safety interlock switches that are activated by an individually-coded, geometrically-unique, actuating key with 15,000 different combinations.
Special internal prisms ensure high light intensity and excellent visibility, even in bright rooms.
There is a choice of six different module colours - e.g red for emergencies, yellow for critical conditions, etc - available with conventional filament lamps or long-life, energy-saving SMD light diodes for 24V and 230V.
The five stacklight modules can be configured in many combinations and the light source can be arranged to provide continuous, intermittent or flashing signals.
An integral horn with seven different sounds and an 85 dB (A) warning signal can be fitted to the top of the ML50 stack, to increase awareness of the signals.
IP54 and IP65 ratings and a rugged design make ML stacklights suitable for both internal and external use, even in the harshest industrial environments.
Three different methods of fixing are available including stand, foot and pipe mounting.
