KSUPS-20 - Solenoid Controlled Switch
Description
The KSUPS20 is a solenoid controlled key driven 20amp electrical switch suitable for the controlled isolation or switching of low (20 amp maximum) current. This product is used where the controlled isolation of a machine or process needs to take place, i.e. where a robot has to finish a cycle prior to isolation or in a UPS changeover system. The KSUPS20 is manufactured from either brass or stainless steel making it suitable for use in standard or harsh corrosive environments. The unit is supplied suitable for mounting into an existing panel.
Operation
Under normal operating conditions the key is trapped in the lock portion and the solenoid de-energized. To release the key, a signal must be received by the solenoid from an external source, i.e. once a robot has parked. With the solenoid energized, the LED will illuminate to confirm that the key can be removed. Rotation and subsequent removal of the key will alter the condition of the contacts within the switch, this may be changing from all of the contacts closed to open or as a changeover i.e. 2 contacts from closed to open and 2 contacts from open to closed. The switch condition cannot be changed without the correctly coded key.
Typical System
The KSUPS20 is designed to operate as part of an integrated safety system, controlling access to hazardous areas. A typical example of an application is shown below. Typical industries using the KSUPS20 are Panel builders, UPS manufacturers.
