OPERATION The AIS Access Interlock with Safety Switch is used for machine isolation in order to protect the hazardous area from access while power is on. The AIS access interlock with safety switch is designed to be part of a safety system and is used to isolate the power which is then allows to gain access to a hazardous area. The AIS access interlock is not designed for security purposes, such as access to a building. No hazardous substances were used in the manufacture of this product. The product can be disposed of in standard waste. APPLICATION The Castell AIS access interlock with safety switch is used as a part of an integrated safety system, typically in machine guarding applications. The removal of the key from the AIS, isolates the electrical supply to the machine and allows the removal of the sidebolt. Therefore the guard can only be opened when the electrical supply has been switched into a safe condition. This key is then taken into the area by the operative to safeguard against accidental lock in or start up or to initialize another part of the process, i.e. switching the machine into teach mode.
