RS Safety Interlock Switches
Product Description
Eaton’s RS safety interlock
switches have been specifically
designed for monitoring of
protective guards, such as
doors, flaps and hoods. All
switches in this family are
safety-rated and use
magnetically coded actuators
to minimize defeat by simple
magnets. With correct
installation, the RS family
complies with EN ISO 13849-1
and IEC 62061 guidelines.
Operation
The RS safety interlock family
is comprised of three series:
RS2, RS2R and RS4. The
assembly comprises a sensor
component and a separate
magnet actuator component.
The sensor is typically
mounted to a stationary
portion of a structure and the
magnet to a movable portion.
When the sensor and the
actuator are within operating
range, the NC contacts will
be closed and the NO
contacts will be open.
