No hazardous substances were used in the manufacture of this product. The product can be disposed of in standard waste.
APPLICATION
A typical application of the AIE-HD dual key Access Interlock is machine guarding with full body access.
The AIE-HD is used as part of a safety system, which ensures a machine is shut down, before access to the hazardous area is allowed.
The system involves a KS key switch for the electrical supply. The removal of the isolation key from the key switch isolates the electrical supply to the machine. This key is taken to the AIE-HD and inserted into the lock. This allows the release of the personnel key and then the sidebolt, which traps the isolation key. The personnel key is then taken into the area by the operative to safeguard themselves against accidental lock in and start up.
