Industrial safety specialist, Fortress
Interlocks, has introduced an ATEX
Certified, explosion protected safety
switch key station. The
CPS4STOPXP key station
is designed to release keys
used to control mechanical
door locks that provide
access to machinery and
process lines operating in
potentially explosive
environments. Both the
switch and the door locks
are suitable for use in Zone
1 and 2 environments and
the electrical parts are
ingress protected to IP67.
The station is available with up to a maximum of 5 safety key adaptors. By turning the first key the machine is isolated and the other 4 keys are released. These keys can be used to open a maximum of 5 ATEX Certified 'DM' mechanical door locks that give access to the safeguarded area.
Restarting the machine is only possible when all keys are back in the CPS4STOPXP key control station.
This interlocking system complies with the ATEX Directive, meeting the European Hazardous Location Designation: EExd IIC T6 category II2 GD, SIRA 00ATEX 1037X.
