Industrial safety specialist Fortress Interlocks, through local agent Micromax, has introduced an explosion protected safety switch key station.
According to the company, the ATEX certified CPS4STOPXP key station is designed to release keys which can be used to control mechanical door locks that provide access to machinery and process lines operating in potentially explosive environments.
The heavy duty CPS4STOPXP safety switch key station is explosion protected and also available with up to a maximum of five safety key adaptors.
These keys can be used to open five ATEX certified ‘DM’ mechanical door locks that give access to the safeguarded area, and restarting the machine is only possible when all keys are back in the CPS4STOPXP key control station.
The CPS4STOPXP features dual channel safety circuits with positive break switches and is manufactured from stainless steel and zinc alloys for smooth and reliable operation, Fortress Interlocks said.
