Two-hand control

Product catalog summary
Company Development
CAPTRON Electronic GmbH, established in 1983 in Munich, specializes in capacitive sensors for automation and traffic engineering. Initially focused on capacitive level measurement, the company expanded to optical sensors in 1992 and capacitive SENSORswitches by 1994.
What is safeCAP?
The safeCAP series features capacitive SENSORswitches for two-hand controls with safety relays. The SC4 series is DGUV approved with the MasterCAP MCR-225 relay, while the SC30 series, certified by TÜV Süd, works with Siemens evaluator 3SK1 or MasterCAP MCR-225 Relais.
Capacitive Principle
Capacitive sensors measure capacity changes between the sensor surface and surroundings, ideal for SENSORswitches due to human body conductivity.
SC30 Series
The SC30 is a compact, impact-resistant SENSORswitch with PhotoMOS relays, suitable for two-hand control applications, featuring optical feedback and quick installation.
Technical Data
The SC30 series offers single and dual-channel versions with specific technical specifications, designed for long service life and maintenance-free operation.
Safety Relay 3SK1 Advanced
The 3SK1 Advanced safety relay meets high safety standards and features specifications like insulation voltage and shock resistance.
