Tamper-Resistant Ferroresonant Safety Interlock Switch
Tamper resistant—the combina-
tion of magnetic and ferrore-
sonant signals required to close
the safety contacts makes the
MF Series switch very tamper
resistant. Fulfills the require-
ments of category 3 (EN 954-1).
Compact size—the MF Series
switch is pre-wired and mounts
easily on 1-in. square tubing
Misalignment tolerant—actuator
misalignment of up to 0.27 in.
is tolerated by the MF Series
switch
■
Color LED Status Indicator on
the MF Series switch makes it
easy to determine the status of
the switch
NEMA 6 enclosure enables the
MF Series switch to withstand
high pressure steam cleaning
Expandable system—the MF
Series switches can be wired
in Series/Parallel so that mul-
tiple doors may be guarded.
The safety monitoring relay or
control unit must accept 1 NC/
1 NO inputs. See wiring diagram
example.
■
Long life—the MF Series switch
is designed for a minimum of
one million actuations.

Operating Principle
On presenting the actuator to
the switch, the high intensity
magnetic field, together with a
resonant frequency signal, causes
the contacts to close. On removing
the actuator (opening the door),
the safety contacts open, isolating
the machine. The switch can not
be overridden by magnets, tools,
etc.

The MF Series switch and actuators are integrated with an SR131A safety monitoring relay. The safety contacts
of the MF switches for zone 2 are wired in Series/Parallel. This method allows multiple gates or switches to be
wired to a single channel on the safety monitoring relay or control unit.
