Description The Mechan F-TYPE safety switches are a fully electronic, totally encapsulated, fail-safe switches designed to work in harsh conditions. This electronic safety switch is designed for use with the Mechan safety control units and provides not only long term reliability, but also a consistant switching distance(10mm +/- 0.5). This makes the F-TYPE safety switch quick to install, tolerant to misalignment, and capable of providing years of trouble free service.
Mechan's Dynamic Signalling techniques continuously monitor each safety switch. Damage to the safety switch cable or the switch itself will result in the safety control unit going to a safe state. Indication at the control unit will speed up any fault diagnosis.
The robust design, ABS housing with completely encapsulated electronics and cable entry, provides a safety switch that realy can withstand harsh environments. High pressure hose cleaning, wash-down procedures, dust or machine oil and swarf have little or no effect on the F-TYPE safety switches. The 6mm pre-drilled fixing holes through the body of the switch make for easy fitting and exceptional physical strength.
The FMA safety switches are supplied pre-wired with 5 / 10 or 15 metre cables and have an Anaconda Liquid tight conduit adaptor.
Longer cables can be ordered if required. Maximum cable length 100m.
