Overview
The Pizzato FY 60ED7D0Z-F28 is an FY Series safety switch with a separate actuator and solenoid-operated guard lock, designed for monitoring movable machine guards and controlling access to hazardous areas. It combines mechanical guard position detection with monitored locking, making it suitable for machinery where the guard must remain securely closed until the safety control system permits access.
This configuration uses principle D, with the actuator locked when the 24 V AC/DC solenoid is de-energised. The contact arrangement provides 1 NC contact operated by the actuator and 1 NO + 2 NC contacts operated by the solenoid. The D7 configuration incorporates an escape release button, while the F28 suffix denotes supply with the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator.
Advantages
- Combines guard position monitoring and solenoid-operated locking in a single safety device.
- Principle D keeps the actuator locked while the solenoid is de-energised.
- 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suits commonly used industrial safety and control systems.
- Separate actuator and solenoid contacts enable independent monitoring of guard and lock status.
- Escape release button provides a means of releasing the guard from inside the protected area.
- F28 configuration includes the versatile VF KEYF28 universal actuator.
- Slow-action contacts provide predictable switching for safety-related control circuits.
- FY Series construction is designed for demanding industrial machine guarding applications.

Motor Control
The FY 60ED7D0Z-F28 is designed for integration into machine safety and motor control systems where a movable guard must remain secured while hazardous operating conditions are present. The VF KEYF28 universal actuator mechanically indicates the position of the guard, while the solenoid-operated locking mechanism enables its locked state to be monitored by the associated safety control system.
With principle D operation, the actuator remains locked while the solenoid is de-energised and is released when the 24 V AC/DC solenoid is energised. This operating method is particularly useful where the guard should not automatically unlock following a loss of solenoid power, while the escape release provides an additional means of releasing the guard from within the protected area.
Applications
- Industrial machine guard interlocking
- Machinery with hazardous run-down time
- Robotic cells and automated production lines
- Packaging and processing machinery
- Conveyor and materials handling systems
- Machine tools and machining centres
- Sliding and hinged safety doors
- Enclosed machinery requiring an internal escape release
FAQ
What is the Pizzato FY 60ED7D0Z-F28?
The FY 60ED7D0Z-F28 is an FY Series safety switch with solenoid-operated guard locking, a separate VF KEYF28 universal actuator and an escape release function for industrial machine guarding applications.
How does the FY 60ED7D0Z-F28 locking mechanism operate?
It uses principle D, meaning the actuator remains locked while the 24 V AC/DC solenoid is de-energised and is released when the solenoid is energised.
What contact configuration does the FY 60ED7D0Z-F28 use?
The switch provides 1 NC contact operated by the actuator and 1 NO + 2 NC contacts operated by the solenoid, giving a total contact configuration of 1 NO + 3 NC.
What does the F28 suffix mean on the FY 60ED7D0Z-F28?
The F28 configuration indicates that the safety switch is supplied complete with the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator, providing flexibility when aligning the actuator with the movable machine guard.
Does the FY 60ED7D0Z-F28 include an escape release?
Yes. The D7 configuration incorporates an escape release button, providing a means of releasing the guard from inside the protected area when required.
