Z-Range Safety Switch System
Category Selection
The Z-Range Safety Switch System offers a great option for simplicity and modularity in machine safety interlocking, reducing wiring cost and time. Up to 30 Z-Range devices with OSSD outputs can be connected in series to one safety relay while maintaining PLe performance rating. These devices are an excellent choice for modular machines when utilizing premade T-port cables and junction blocks. All devices are rated for PLe and SIL3 and offer built-in local diagnostics.

Non-Contact Safety Switches
Z-Range non-contact RFID-coded safety switches can monitor the opening and closing of machine guards, doors, or other machinery without a physical connection.
- RFID provides a high degree of anti-tamper, virtually impossible to override
- Unique RFID or series coding RFID available
- Polyester or stainless steel bodies
- IP69k protection rating
Solenoid Locking RFID Tongue Interlock Safety Switches
Z-Range RFID-coded tongue interlock safety switches incorporate high anti-tamper RFID coding and provide PLe safety levels to ISO13849-1. Solenoid locking adds an extra layer of security.
- Plastic, die-cast metal, or stainless steel bodies
- Front and end actuator entry points
- Rotating head with 8 possible entry positions
- Will remain locked until solenoid voltage is applied to the switch
- Stainless steel models are IP69K, all others are IP67
Tongue Interlock Safety Switches
Z-Range tongue interlock safety switches fit sliding, hinged, or lift-off machine guards and doors and provide a tamper-resistant actuator mechanism to determine if a machine guard is in place.
- Die-cast metal or stainless steel bodies
- Rotating head with 8 possible entry positions
- Stainless steel models are IP69K, die-cast metal are IP67
Hinge Interlock Safety Switches
Z-Range hinge interlock safety switches are designed to be fitted to the hinged axis of machine doors, providing a robust hinge function in addition to interlock position sensing. Blank hinges are also available if 2 hinges per door are required.
- Die-cast metal or stainless steel bodies
- Mechanical switches operate by rotation of a cam and actuator to cause deflection of the plunger
- Easy-to-understand LED indication and diagnostic functions
- Suitable for use in high-hygiene requirement areas (e.g. food industry hosedown) IP67 / IP69K
Cable-Pull Safety Switches
Z-Range cable-pull safety rope switches are designed to protect long conveyor lengths where guards are not feasible. This type of switch is traditionally a positively operated electromechanical contact but these devices use an electronic contact block that outputs an OSSD signal.
- Die-cast metal or stainless steel bodies
- Dual-color diagnostic LED
- Available in protection lengths of 50m, 80m, 100m, 125m, and 250m
- Lefthand, righthand, ambidextrous, and dual-head styles available
- Stainless steel models are IP69k, die-cast metal are IP67
Emergency Stop Control Stations
Z-Range emergency stop control stations are rugged emergency stops with OSSD outputs. The enclosed station features a 40mm twist-to-release mushroom head operator with or without a button shroud.
- Plastic or stainless steel enclosures
- Twist-to-release operator button
- Dual-color diagnostic LED
- Stainless steel models are IP69K, plastic are IP67
