ATEX certified

Industrial safety specialist, Fortress
Interlocks, has introduced an ATEX
Certified, explosion protected safety
switch key station. The
CPS4STOPXP key station is
designed to release keys used to
control mechanical door locks that
provide access to machinery and
process lines operating in potentially
explosive environments. Both the
switch and the door locks are
suitable for use in Zone 1 and 2
environments and the electrical parts
are ingress protected to IP67.

The station is available with up to
5 safety key adaptors. By turning the
first key the machine is isolated and
the other 4 keys are released. These
keys can be used to open a
maximum of 5 ATEX
Certified ‘DM’
mechanical door
locks that give access
to the safeguarded
area. Restarting the
machine is only
possible when all keys
are back in the
CPS4STOPXP key
control station.
