DESCRIPTION

The ISIS safety system is a tamper resistant non-contact
safety switch system, suitable for use in most types of
machine guarding applications where guard locking is not
required. The system comprises of a control unit and 1 or
more safety switches and actuators. The ISIS non-contact
safety switches are easy to install, tolerant to misalignment
and suitable for use in harsh or wet environments.
ISIS-4 - Control Unit
The ISIS-4 is a combined Safety Switch and E-Stop control
unit. Along with the ability to monitor up to four ISIS safety
switches it can also monitor the normally closed contacts of
emergency stop buttons or mechanical safety switches in
dual channel control circuits.
The ISIS-4 has 2 normally open safety contact outputs and 1
normally closed auxiliary output, an external re-set/proving
circuit and LED indication for 'Power', 'Run' and the status of
each activated gate switch.
ISIS-2 - Control Unit
The ISIS-2 control unit is a 24V ac/dc system that can
monitor up to 2 ISIS safety switches.
The ISIS-2 has 2 normally open safety contact outputs and 1
normally closed auxiliary output, an external re-set/proving
circuit and LED indication for 'Power', 'Run' and the status of
each activated gate switch.
ISIS-E - Extender Module
The ISIS-E Extender module is a 24V ac/dc unit that can be
added to either the ISIS-4 or ISIS-2 to monitor an additional
5 ISIS safety switches. Connection to the main control unit is
by a simple 2-wire bus connection. The status of each guard
switch is shown by the YELLOW LED's. Additional ISIS-E
extender modules can be added to monitor larger systems.
ISIS-03M / ISIS-SS-03M - Safety Switches
The ISIS safety switches are non-contact, tamper resistant
safety switches. Resin encapsulated into an ABS or
Stainless Steel case providing environmental protection to
IP67, the switches can withstand most conditions including:
water, dust and high pressure hose cleaning.
The 2-wire connection to each safety switch is
monitored by the control unit, detecting both open and
short circuit faults immediately and returning the control
unit to the off state even if the gate is not operated.
