The LMC and LPC Series coded non-contact safety
switches with European industry standard fitting
have been designed to enable the conformance to
EN60947-5-3 and be used as directed by ISO12100,
ISO14121 and EN60204-1. They have coded magnetic
sensing which provides a wide sensing distance
and provides a high tolerance to misalignment after
sensing. They can be fitted behind stainless steel
fittings and can operate from 4 directions even in
extreme environments of temperature and moisture.
When used in combination with most dual channel
safety monitoring relays they can be used to provide
up to PLe to ISO13849-1.
LMC and LPC Series safety switches are designed to
interlock hinged, sliding or removable guard doors. The
LMC Series stainless steel safety switches have been
developed for pharmaceutical and food processing
applications. LPC Series switches have been designed
for general factory automation, packaging and some
food processing applications.
They are specifically advantageous when: • Poor guard alignment exists • Anti tamper sensing is required • High hygiene requirements exist, e.g. food industry hose down • Long life is required (no moving or touching parts) • LED status indication is desirable
