Each tGard stack has between one and ten slots for different elements which create an interlock that is configured for your specific application. Each slot can have a mix of different things, this page gives technical details about Solenoid Lock & Safety Switches.

If you are not familiar with tGard we recommend you first read about the range in general on the tGard product page or look at our how to buy tGard page to understand the process of configuring the perfect stack.

Solenoid Lock & Safety Switches

 

• TSS or TSM element incorporated to give dual safety circuits monitoring the door (or key) as well as 1 x N/O contact output (TSM only) for door monitoring (high when door open) and status LED. (Green when door closed, TSM only).
• 1 input used to energise solenoid.
• Power to Lock and Power to Unlock options available.

 

3 options for solenoid:

• TDU/L – Dual safety circuits wired in series with TSM dual safety circuits.
• TEU/L – No safety circuits for solenoid (solenoid monitor switch gives 24V on locked position)
• TFU/L – Dual safety circuits giving independent safety monitoring on solenoid in addition to TSS.

 

• 1 x N/O contact output for solenoid monitoring (high when unlocked) and status LED. (Red
when unlocked).
• Solenoid override key provided with power to unlock units.

 

Location

• First element after all mechanical elements (Head, Internal Release and Locks).

Safety Switch Element

Can be driven by either the operation of the head element (removal of actuator) or a mechanical lock.

 

• Operates on dual safety circuits.
• 2 positively driven force break NC contacts (uses none
of the Input/Output pins).
• IP65.
• 1 Normally Open (N/O) / monitoring contact giving 24V
signal on I/O pin (TSM only).
• Red LED illuminated to show door open (TSM & TSP).
• Extra retention force available (TSP).

 

Location
