TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Interlocking guard for non locked
mechanical screens offering free access
(machines must achieve instant stop):
• Machine door or casting "open/closed"
detection
• Guard-in-place detection, gate/access
door detection
• Control of mechanical screens used in
addition to a safety light curtain
• Food & Beverage, Packaging, Machine
Tool, Automotive and Textile.
The FF-SNC Honeywell safety non contact switch is a tamper resistant safety system for
monitoring machine guards. The actuator being a passive component, the safety
switch is the only component that needs to be wired to the control unit and cannot be
defeated by regular magnet.
Each system is made up of one or several safety switches, actuators and a control unit.
The Honeywell FF-SNC safety non contact switches are designed in compliance with
the requirements of the EN 954-1 European Standard for Category 3 Protective
Devices.
The FF-SNC is especially suited for applications where perfect door alignment can not
be obtained. The FF-SNC Series can be mounted on sliding, hinged or removable
machine guards. The output of the control unit is triggered as soon as the distance
between the safety switch and the actuator is greater or equal to 8 mm / 0.32 in. This
switching distance compensates for the machine vibration or any issue with the
installation alignment.
The sensor and actuator small size makes it usable under tight space requirements.
The safety switches and the actuators provide excellent chemical and mechanical
resistance. Stainless steel housing versions fulfil the requirements of the Food and
Beverage industry.
The FF-SNC400 safety control unit comes in a 75 mm / 2.95 in package and can
monitor up to 4 sensors.
The FF-SNC200R2 safety control unit with its 22,5 mm / 0.89 in width will easily find a
place in the electrical cabinet and can monitor 2 sensors. Both control units can be
placed up to 100 m / 328 ft away from the safety non contact switches. The indicators
located on the front cover of both control units provide individual door status
information.
The FF-SNC1EXT extension module can be added to the FF-SNC400 or FF-SNC200
control unit and allows the connection of 5 additional sensors.
