Safety interlock Switches MC-S mc-S Series Rev. 9.10 compact coded magnetic Safety interlock Switch and control Unit Dual channel, fully monitored system meets Category 3 when single MC-S Series switch and control unit are used MC-S6 meets Category 4 External Device Monitoring (EDM) with automatic or manual reset NEMA 6 switch enclosures in plastic or stainless steel with connector satisfy most application requirements Magnetically coded switches are tamper resistant to common magnets Misalignment tolerance of (5 and 9 mm) reduces nuisance tripping A large number of switches may be used with a MC-S Series control unit MC-S6 control unit provides individual monitoring and indication for up to 6 switches and a N/O delayed output Mechanical interlock switches may be used with a MC-S Series control r MC-S Series controls may replace a safety relay in some applications C US g Conforms to EN954-1, EN1088, EN60204-1 Auxiliary contacts available for individual guard door monitoring on MC-S switches UL and C-UL listed Actual Size Description The MC-S Series is a tamper t ype 1 Sensor t ype 2 Sensor 0.75 in resistant non-contact switch 19 mm 1.89 in. that operates with its own 48 mm control unit. As a fully monitored dual channel system, a single MC-S Series switch and MC-S Series Control Units 1 or 2 .98 in. combine to fullfi l Category 3 25 mm requirements. Control Unit 6 with 2 to 6 MC-S switches fullfi ls Category 4 requirements for the 3 N/O outputs and Category 3 MC S Series MC S Series for the N/O delayed output. The Control Units provide EDM (External Device 3.23 in Monitoring, also called MPCE 82 mm monitoring) with an automatic or manual reset. This allows the Control Units to replace a safety relay in some applications. The NEMA 6 encapsulated IP 67 IP 67 design makes it ideal for harsh MADE IN EC MADE IN EC environments. The Control Units can be used with a large number of MC-S switches for applications with multiple guard doors. The Control Unit provides individual monitoring and LED indication for up to six MC-S switches. Mechanical switches and MC-S switches may be used together with a single MC-S Control Unit for applications requiring both non-contact and mechanical safety interlock switches.
