Non-contact safety contactors provide considerable advantages where tough ambient conditions apply. They are also especially suitable for use on imprecisely controlled protective equipment. Non-contact EUCHNER safety switches operate on the basis of clearly coded manufacturers of actuators. Manipulation of an actuator is thus impossible. Supply voltage and data transfer to the coded actuator are realized by means of a non-contact inductive read head. A monitoring output is additionally available for the safety outputs. Through the redundant design of the evaluating device, the safety switch can be used for the highest safety requirements up to control category 4 according to EN 954-1.
