KSS – Solenoid Controlled Switch Solenoid Controlled Switching The KSS is a heavy-duty solenoid controlled key driven electrical switch interlock ideal for the controlled isolation or switching of low current. This product is used where a process can send a signal to release a key, e.g. a robot has to finish a cycle prior to isolation. Upon removal of the key, the KSS switch contacts change to isolate the process. This type of isolator should be used for short term, off load isolation. The unit is ready for mounting into an existing panel or for surface mounting within its own IP65 rated enclosure. The KSS is manufactured from either brass or stainless steel. OPERATION The Castell KSS Solenoid Controlled Switch is typically used for machine isolation in applications where a machine has to finish a cycle prior to isolation. The KSS is available with different solenoid voltages as AC: 24, 110 or 240 V or DC: 12, 24, 110, 240 V (see order information on page 7 for more details). The KSS comes with 4 or 6 contacts as standard with contacts arrangements as 2NO/2NC, 4NC or 3NO/3NC or 6NC. The KSS is available as a back of panel mount (BOB) and as a surface mount version with an enclosure (FOB). USAGE The KSS solenoid controlled switch is designed to be part of a safety system and is used to isolate the power releasing. The KSS solenoid controlled switch is not designed for security purposes. No hazardous substances were used in the manufacture of this product APPLICATION A KSS Solenoid Controlled Switch safety component is typically used as part of an integrated safety system. A typical application of KSS solenoid controlled switch is machine guarding.
