PICO-GUARD

™

Fiber OpticInterlock Switches

• Interlock switches interface with PICO-GUARD fiberoptic controllers.• Compact, non-contact and easy to install, the switches interlock doors, guards, gates and covers.• Fiber optic interlock switches eliminate the need to run electrical wires to a hazardous area.• Fibers connect and disconnect quickly. • Switches meet Safety Category 4 requirements with one switch pair per guard (per ISO 13849-1).• Impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic, extreme-duty chemically resistant stainless steel or heavy-duty impact-resistant zinc die-cast models are available.• Switches have an environmental rating of IEC IP67 and are ATEX and FM approved for use in explosive environments when used with a PICO-GUARD controller.• Attenuator is available for reducing excessgain in short-run applications.• Splices are available for easily connectingtwo fiber sections.
