Explosion Proof Trapped Key Control Isolation Switch with Tongue Interlock (M-TS-CB-EX)
The M-TS-CB-EX can be used to isolate the control circuitry and can be mounted externally. Turning the key opens the safety contacts, turning the CONTROL CIRCUIT OFF, allowing the key and tongue to be removed. The M-TS-CB-EX does not have a key present during normal operation and requires a key to be transferred to the access lock to gain entry. The M-TS-CB-EX can be used at the gate as both a guard access interlock and/or control isolation switch.
