KSUPS – Solenoid Controlled Switch
Solenoid Controlled Switching
The KSUPS is a solenoid controlled switch. It is designed for, and primarily used in Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) bypass systems. The KSUPS ensures that the key may only be removed once the UPS system is in a safe condition. The KSUPS can be manufactured from either brass or stainless steel. The unit is supplied ready for mounting into a panel. It is available with a range of solenoid voltage options; 24, 110 and 240 VAC or VDC.
OPERATION
The Castell KSUPS solenoid control switch is typically used in UPS bypass systems.
The KSUPS is available with different solenoid voltages as AC or DC: 24, 110 or 240 V.
The KSUPS comes with 4 poles as standard with contact arrangements as either 2NO/2NC or with all 4 contacts closed (key trapped)/ all 4 contacts open (key free). Other switch configurations are available on request.
USAGE
The KSUPS solenoid controlled switch is designed to be part of an electrical safety system.
The KSUPS solenoid controlled switch is not designed for machine guarding.
For machine guarding applications, please refer to Castell KSS20 range.
No hazardous substances were used in the manufacture of this product. The product can be disposed of in standard waste.
APPLICATION
While the UPS is running, the key is trapped in the KSUPS interlock. The key can only be turned and released when the UPS is put into bypass. This will energise the solenoid via a remote signal from the UPS system.
Turning the key changes the condition of the switch and releases the key, which can now be transferred to the AIE access interlock. This allows access to the UPS for maintenance.
