SLC safety switch A new generation of safety mechanical interlock switches, 'SLC' is being introduced by BERNSTEIN in Germany, and distributed by ITC in Canada.

These switches provide robust electro-mechanical locking of doors, covers, protection grilles, etc., while also remote monitoring access status and offering optional emergency opening from inside or outside the enclosure.

SLC switches feature a sturdy thermoplastic body and a metal head, designed to accept entry from 4 sides and from top (user-configurable) of the corresponding 'key' actuator. There are 2 types of operation possible: 'power-to-unlock' (the internal solenoid is powered to unlock)or 'power-to-lock' (lock is released when power is cut). A safety release operated by a screwdriver is present on the front (exterior of enclosure); optionally, this can be modified into an accessory handle. Inside the enclosure, an optional escape release handle enables immediate opening in case of emergency.

A number of options are available (the 2 types of operation above, 24V AC/DC or 120V AC operated solenoid, various contact configurations). Accessories include the emergency release handles described above, three types of “key” operators.

Ratings are 240VAC, 1.5A, operating temperature from -25 to 55°C, Ingress Protection IP67.

cULus certification expected July 2019.
