Molded plastic /metal enclosure with separate actuator
Application
Safety interlock switches with
separate actuator are used
where the position of doors, cov-
ers or safety screens must be
Construction
Interlock switches with separate
actuator are available in three
versions.
• Molded plastic enclosure with
mounting dimensions accord-
ing to EN 50 047
• Metal enclosure with mounting
dimensions according to EN
50 041
• Molded plastic enclosure out-

arisen in this form in accor-
dance with general market re-
quirements.

monitored for safety reasons.
For example, they can be used
together with 3TK28 safety re-
lays up to safety category 4.
When used as a safety switch
mounting at a spacing of 20 mm
(molded plastic housings) or 30
mm (metal housing) is neces-
sary. Or, the interlock switch
must be fitted with a pin or stop.
Operation
Interlock switches with separate
actuator can only be operated
with a matching triple-coded ac-
tuator. Actuation by hand or with
auxiliary devices is virtually im-
possible.
The actuators are not included
with the interlock switch and
must be ordered separately.

inaccurate approach is pre-
