●Useful functions
Highly Visible Indicator Lights
Door status, including open, closed, and locked, can be recognized at just a glance with the large, bright indicator lights.
Built-In Aux Outputs
Even when several units are cascaded together, access point status can be quickly identified on an HMI, PLC, light etc. with auxiliary outputs.
How to Set Up High Coding
With high coding, the sensor can be set to only recognize one specific actuator to prevent tampering.
●Wiring and Connection
Cascade Multiple Units
Cascading connections reduces installation time by reducing the number of relays and other connecting devices.
Wiring Saving Unit (GS-T01)
The Wiring Saving Unit reduces installation time and headaches when using multiple interlocks on a machine. (Up to 8 GS-M/GS Series interlocks can be cascaded together)
●Mounting
Flat Actuator
The flat actuator does not require insertion, eliminating misalignment issues.
Hinged Door Mounting
Hinged Door Mounting Bracket for GS-M5/GS-M9 (GS-MB11)
This bracket is used when the sensor and actuator are being installed on the same size frame. The GS-MB13/GS-MB21/GS-MB23 brackets can also be used.
Hinged Door Mounting Bracket for GS-M5/GS-M9 (GS-MB12)
This bracket is used when installing the sensor and actuator on different size frames and panels. The GS-MB22 bracket can also be used.
Sliding Door Mounting Bracket for GS-ML5 (GS-MB31)
GS Series
●Wiring and Connection
Cascade Multiple Locking Type Units
Cascading connections reduces installation time by reducing the number of relays and other connecting devices.
Cascade Multiple Non-Contact Type Units
Cascading connections reduces installation time by reducing the number of relays and other connecting devices.
●Mounting
Direct & Flexible Installation
The locking type interlocks can be directly mounted to a machine frame or door with their built-in mounting holes.
