Pizzato LK S lockout device for NS series safety switches

The Pizzato NS series of safety switches provide PL3 and SIL3 safety levels by installing one device on the machine, thereby facilitating fast installation. The LK S lockout device for the safety switches is made of metal and attached laterally to the holes on the NS device, without an auxiliary fixing plate or support.

The red sliding gate on the lockout device mechanically closes the actuator entry hole and functions as a shield for the RFID receiver antenna on the NS switch. This provides an additional level of protection against accidental closure of the guard and untimely restart. This is suitable for machines with an installed low-level coded actuator, making any attempt to bypass the switch impossible. When the door is raised a ring emerges on the top of the device, allowing insertion of up to five padlocks.

The shape of the sliding plate allows the lockout device to be used on both hinged and sliding guards, and on both left and right sides. The specific version of the device must be ordered for left- or right-hand-sided installation.
