GKS Series Multi-Entry Trapped Key-Operated Safety Interlock Switch DESCRIPTION the machine can mean that parts of the machine are still The introduction of the GKS product marks a significant new moving and pose an injury risk if the access gate or door is not product class for Honeywell. Honeywells switching expertise held closed. Global approvals and standards are important to has been applied to a cost-effective, trapped key safety Honeywells customers therefore, the GKS product conform to interlock switch. This product allows OEMs to hold a door or the requirements of IEC60947-5-1 and carries cULus, CE and gate closed while a hazard still exists. This is particularly CCC approvals. important where there is momentum in the machine. In other words, when the machine is signaled to stop, the momentum in FEATURES BENEFITS Global approvals (CE, cULus, CE, and CCC) Product may be applied to most applications worldwide Glass-filled polyester body Tough, cost-effective, double-insulated enclosure Power-to-lock and power-to-unlock schemes for key trap Choice of key trapping methodology 1 Flexible switching arrangement Four contacts that can be arranged in any configuration 24 Vdc, 110 Vac, and 230 Vac coil voltages Multiple voltages provide for every geography Over-ride mechanism in cover Has a method to open door (in case of power loss, etc.) Head may be rotated into 4 different positions One part number may be used for multiple applications Three conduit openings (knock-out style) Flexible wiring options Switch position provides status Can diagnose status of gate/door (gate/door closed and locked, gate/door closed and unlocked, gate/door open) 1 There will be minimum volume requirements for unreleased options.
