| Description |
| The Gatesafe is an emergency exit device that can be fitted to left & right hand hinged doors and should be used in conjunction with the access locks, the MAI, Al, MAIE & AIE. The Gatesafe is complete with an emergency stop button that can be depressed to both isolate the supply voltage and allow emergency exit from the area. The switch contact arrangement of 2N/C 1N/O make it suitable for category 4 safety applications where cross monitoring is required. These features make it particularly suitable for full body access areas where personnel safety keys are not deployed. The Gatesafe is designed to operate as part of an access control system. A typical example of machine isolation and controlled access is shown below. |
| Typical System |
| Under normal operating conditions the key is trapped in the switch isolator / disconnector and the access bolt is locked to prevent access to the guarded area. The key is removed from the key switch isolator, and inserted and turned in the access lock. The lock bolt is then withdrawn to gain entry to the area. Whilst the operator is inside it is possible that somebody could close the door and re-energise the machinery. If the operator suddenly realises that there is an immediate danger, they can depress the Gatesafe E-stop button to open the control circuit to the machinery and achieve immediate escape from the area. The E-stop button & coded bolt both need to be reset to allow machine start up. The N/O E-stop contact can be connected to an alarm system for signalling. |
