Description
The Centurion is a positive mode, thumbwheel operated machine
guard locking interlock switch that locks the guard closed until the
operator manually rotates the thumbwheel, retracting the shaft from
the guard door. The action of retracting the shaft initiates two
functions; it isolates the power to the machine while the guard is open
and, due to the operating principle, gives up to 20 seconds delay
before the guard can be opened.
Alternative styles with longer shafts can increase the time delay by as
much as 50%. The Centurion is ideal for use on simple machines
with short, constant run down times. It is important that correct
installation and operation of the unit are followed to ensure that the
retractable shaft cannot be extended when the guard is open. For
machines with long or variable run down times or where frequent
access is required, solenoid locking switches such as the TLS-GD2
and Atlas 5 should be considered.
The Centurion has 2 safety (N.C.) contacts, 1 auxiliary (N.O.) contact
and 1 conduit entry (either M20 or quick disconnect).
EX and Pneumatic styles of the Centurion are also available; see the
Explosion Proof
section on page 16-1 for more information.
Note: Additional safety measures (i.e., a shroud) should be used
to ensure the thumbwheel can only be accessed by fingertips.

Note:
The safety contacts of the Guardmaster switches are described as normally
closed (N.C.) i.e., with the guard closed, actuator in place (where relevant) and the
machine able to be started.
