JSNY5 Safety Interlock Switch

Switch Operational Description

Increasing automation and more demanding safety regulations have lead to the development of the JSNY5 safety switch. This switch enhances the range of Safety Switches, incorporating advanced features and benefits making this switch a market leader. This switch offers three contacts which gives both the two contacts needed for high safety level as well as a contact for the indication of operating status.

The advanced design offers the choice of four operating positions from only two actuator entries by simply rotating the head through 180ยบ.

However, when installed and in it's working condition only one entry can be used, ensuring no other element can tamper with the switch function.

When mounting the switch from the front two elongated holes are provided to aid alignment with two set screw holes for accurate fixing. Top fixing is also possible.

Two M20 cable entries allow for a variety of cabling options including through wiring.

Positive Forced Disconnected Contacts

The design assures that the contacts will not fail or be held in a normally closed position, due to failure of the spring mechanism or the welding/sticking of the contacts.

Protection from Unauthorized or Incidental Access

To avoid unauthorized operation the JSNY5 switch is manufactured using multi-coding to GS-ET 15. The switch cannot be defeated by screwdrivers, magnets or any other mechanism.

Connection Examples

On our page of connection examples are numerous circuit diagrams showing solutions of safety problems.

Applications:

  • Gates/Hatches
  • Removable Cover

Features:

  • 2 NC + 1 NO (actuator in)
  • 4 actuating positions
  • Actuator force 10 or 30 N

Safety Level

The positive forced disconnect contacts gives a high safety level. By combining the JSNY5 with one of our suitable safety relays as for example from the RT-series, the requirements for both hatch and gate switch supervision can be fulfilled.

After opening the snap-on cover, the head portion can be removed (version A), after turning the head through 1800 (version B) it can be replaced onto the body of the switch and be locked into position by closing the snap-on cover. This ensures 4 actuating positions are possible.

Regulations and Standards

The JSNY5 is designed and approved in accordance with appropriate standards. Examples of such are: VDE 0113, EN 60204-1, IEC 204, VDE 0660 T200, EN 60947-5-1, IEC 947-5-1, GS-ET 15.
