Description
medium-resistant stainless-steel version
robust, tough and largely media resistant. Critical components such as plugs, cover screws and guide bushes, etc., consist of high-quality inox steel.
Unicode evaluation
Each actuator is highly coded (unicode). The switch detects only taught-in actuators. Additional actuators can be taught-in. Only the last actuator taught-in is detected.
Guard locking type
CTP‑L1 | Guard locking actuated by spring force and power-ON released (closed-circuit current principle). |
Escape release
This is used for manual release of guard locking from the danger zone without tools.
