The switch is sealed to IP65 with 1N/O 2N/C contacts, it is rated to 10 amps making it ideal for use in cross monitored safety systems. The interlock is manufactured in a durable stainless steel. OPERATION The AIES access interlock with safety switch is used for machine isolation in order to protect the hazardous area from full body access while power is on. USAGE The AIES access interlock with safety switch is designed to be part of a safety system and is used to isolate the power which then allows to gain access to a hazardous area.
