Why Choose the Pizzato FS3096D024-F8M2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS3096D024-F8M2 is a heavy duty safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking, designed for demanding industrial safety applications. As part of the advanced Pizzato FS series, it ensures secure access control by preventing guard opening while machinery is in operation.
This model features a robust technopolymer housing and an integrated solenoid locking mechanism, making it ideal for harsh environments where reliability and safety compliance are critical. The rotating head design allows flexible mounting positions across machine guards and safety doors.
Operating on a 24 V AC/DC supply, the FS3096D024-F8M2 includes a 2 NC actuator driven contacts and 1 NC solenoid driven contact. It uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised, ensuring fail safe operation in safety critical systems.
Key Advantages
- Guard locking safety switch for controlled access to hazardous machinery.
- Solenoid operated locking mechanism ensures secure operation.
- D working method provides fail safe locking when power is removed.
- 2 NC + 1 NC configuration for reliable safety circuits.
- IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
- Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.
Key Features
- Pizzato FS series safety switch with guard locking.
- Separate actuator system for machine guarding.
- 2 NC (actuator) + 1 NC (solenoid) contacts.
- 24 V AC/DC operating voltage.
- Rotating head for flexible installation.
- Positive opening contacts for safety compliance.
- Three PG13.5 conduit entries for wiring flexibility.
Advanced Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches with guard locking, such as the FS3096D024-F8M2, are essential in applications where hazardous motion must be fully stopped before access is permitted. The integrated solenoid ensures guards remain locked during machine operation, reducing risk to operators and maintenance personnel.
The D working principle ensures fail safe behaviour by keeping the actuator locked when power is removed. This is critical in emergency situations, ensuring machinery cannot be accessed until it is safe.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors requiring controlled access.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production lines and robotics.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Safety interlock systems in hazardous zones.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
