safety control modules for safety applications in all categories of risk.

Customers can count on our diverse product line to meet all of their machine

safety applications.

Honeywell products meet or exceed European machine safety standards and

have been approved (CE, BG, INRS) for use in Europe for more than 25 years.

As North America moves toward harmonizing with global standards, machine

builders and users can confidently turn to Honeywell for compliant machine

safety solutions. Our products are designed to meet all applicable OSHA and

ANSI standards.

Refer to pages 6 and 7 for more information about degrees of protection and

electrical ratings.

Protective Guarding

Protective guarding around a dangerous machine can be achieved with

tamper-resistant safety switches. Safety switches incorporate positive opening

operation such that even a welded contact will be mechanically broken and a

stop signaled. These switches monitor the position of moveable guards and

doors, which are used to safeguard access to equipment and provide

protection from ejected pieces, chips, projectiles or oil. These safeguards

require a relatively low investment and provide reliable protection if they are

regularly checked and maintained.

Cable Pull Switches

Cable-pull limit switches serve as a readily accessible means of emergency

stop for applications. These cable-pull devices are visible, accessible and easy

to use and they immediately open the emergency stop circuit when activated.
