Safety contact strip controller

Scientific Technologies Inc has introduced the SCC-1DN-1224 DIN-mount controller designed for use with all SCS safety contact strips. This controller is a category 3 control reliable device and features 120 V AC or 24 V AC/DC power input, automatic start-up testing, selectable automatic start and start/restart interlock modes of operation, and for LED indicators for simple, reliable operation. When there is pressure against a safety contact strip the safety relays in the controller will transfer to the open state. When pressure is removed from the safety contact strip in automatic start mode, the relays will transfer back to the closed state. When pressure is removed from the safety contact strip in start/restart interlock mode, the safety relays will not transfer back to the closed state until the pushbutton or key-switch is reset. Safety contact strips can be used to safeguard many hazards, including gates, doors, machines and scissor lifts. Applications include semiconductor, automotive, electronics manufacturing, packaging and consumer markets.
