Conforms to EN13849-1:2006 PLd and EN62061 SIL 3when used with a suitable control unit
Tapeswitch offer a range of control units with various degrees of safety integrity levels. All Tapeswitch Control Units provide constant monitoring of the sensor device. In the event of a failure within the sensor or its cable (open or short circuit) the safety control unit automatically detects this failure. In addition to the ability to detect a failure within the sensor or its cabling, the PSSU Series is designed to detect a failure within the control unit itself.
All Tapeswitch Control Units operate with an input voltage of 24V DC and always supply a non-hazardous 24V DC to the sensor. For optional configurations please see our Legacy products.
In all Tapeswitch Control Units the output relays are energised when the sensor device is clear (not actuated). When the sensor device is actuated the output relays will be de-energised.
The output contact arrangement and operational modes range from remote manual reset, auto-reset to self-contained manual reset.
