BERNSTEIN AG First Approved Enable Foot Switch by DGUV

The BERNSTEIN three-stage-enable foot switch combines robust design and advanced technology. With many years of experience and expertise, BERNSTEIN is the prefered partner for industrial foot switches in industrial applications. Through the development of the first approved enable foot switch, BERNSTEIN succeeded again to convert this experience and expertise into customer value and to set new standards in safety technology. The enable foot switch provides two enable contacts and one signalling contact and is available with or without latch. If the pedal is pressed up to pressure point, the two enable contacts are closed. If the pedal is released, the enable contacts are open again. If the pedal is pressed up to the pressure point, the enable positive opening action contacts are opened. For the application of an enable device, the rules DIN EN ISO 12100 and DIN EN 60204-1 apply. Thanks to this siganlling contact, a dynamic position detection is possible. Alternatively, a static position detection can be realised by means of a PNP sensor. It is thus possible to determine the actuation position one - the OFF position of the enable contacts (the actuator is not pressed) - or the position three - the OFF position of the operating contacts (the actuator is fully pressed). The approved enable foot switch is only available with cover.
