Norstat now offers the HE Series, a Coded Magnetic Safety Switch that has been specifically designed to be used as a stand-alone switch or combined with a safety relay to provide a CAT 4 level of safety.
The Mechan HE-Series are coded magnetic safety switches designed to combine the ease of use and lower maintenance of a simple magnetic safety switch along with the improved security, performance and indication of an electronic safety switch. These fully encapsulated switches withstand vibration, wash down and are suitable for most harsh environments, making them ideal for use in the food processing, filling or packing industries as well as many other non-locking machine guard applications.
The HE-Series utilizes fully encapsulated ABS or 316 grade Stainless steel housings. All HE-Series switches are both shock and vibration proof and have a recovery time of > 2 sec. Each switch has up to 2 x N/O + 1 N/C bi-directional solid state outputs, utilizes dual color LED indicators for switch status and fault diagnostics and are available with a pre-wired 3-, 5- or 10-meter cable. The HE-Series has a protection rating of IP 67 and can operate in temperature ranges of -10°C to +60°C.
