Safety interlock Switches
mc-S Series
compact coded magnetic Safety
interlock Switch and control Unit
• Dual channel, fully monitored system; meets Category 3 when
single MC-S Series switch and control unit are used; MC-S6
meets Category 4
• External Device Monitoring (EDM) with automatic or manual reset
• NEMA 6 switch enclosures in plastic or stainless steel with
connector satisfy most application requirements
• Magnetically coded switches are tamper resistant to common
magnets
• Misalignment tolerance of (5 and 9 mm) reduces nuisance tripping
• A large number of switches may be used with a MC-S Series control unit
• MC-S6 control unit provides individual monitoring and indication for up
to 6 switches and a N/O delayed output
• Mechanical interlock switches may be used with a MC-S Series control
• MC-S Series controls may replace a safety relay in some applications
• Auxiliary contacts available for individual guard door monitoring on MC-S switches

The MC-S Series is a tamper
resistant non-contact switch
that operates with its own
control unit. As a fully monitored
dual channel system, a single
MC-S Series switch and MC-S
Series Control Units 1 or 2
combine to fulfill Category 3
requirements. Control Unit 6
with 2 to 6 MC-S switches fulfills
Category 4 requirements for the
N/O outputs and Category 3
MC S
3
Series
for the N/O delayed output.
The Control Units provide
EDM (External Device
Monitoring, also called MPCE
monitoring) with an automatic
or manual reset. This allows the
Control Units to replace a safety
relay in some applications.
The NEMA 6 encapsulated
IP 67
design makes it ideal for harsh
MADE IN EC
environments.
The Control Units can be
used with a large number of
MC-S switches for applications
with multiple guard doors. The
Control Unit provides individual
monitoring and LED indication
for up to six MC-S switches.
Mechanical switches and
MC-S switches may be used
together with a single MC-S
Control Unit for applications
requiring both non-contact and
mechanical safety interlock
switches.
