RFID Safety Key (RSK)

Protecting People and Productivity is at the forefront of our values here at Fortress. Our safety keys protect personnel in a host of hazardous, dusty, wet, and volatile environments,  providing a preventative measure for unexpected machine restart.

Standard RFID safety key module Solutions

Four-Key Module (H0640000N)

RSK Module with four RFID safety keys, power-to-Lock solenoid locking and LED indication of key status for key unlocked and key removed.

This module is best utilised where up to four operators are entering a safeguarded space and can be integrated with all Heavy Duty Interlock (amGardpro) devices (keys sold separately).

Two-key module with operator controls (H062P6P7N)

RSK Module with two RFID safety keys, power-to-Lock solenoid locking and LED indication of key status for key unlocked and key removed. Blue and White pushbuttons (typically utilised for ‘Manual Reset‘ and ‘Request to Enter‘ functionality)

Utilise a combined solution of control functions and safety keys for both access requests, safe access with proactive inhibit functions, and manual reset functionality (keys sold separately).

RLK-SUNS

Standard Key for RSK Module, with a uniquely coded RFID tag teachable to any RSK module. An RLK-SUNS is required for each key position on the RSK device and can be purchased as spares.

Each key can have up to two lines of 10 characters

Each key within the RFID Safety Key system shares series-wired dual safety contacts. If any of the keys are removed from the device, the independent dual channel safety contacts are opened.

Each key can be secured in the key pod with solenoid locking. Unlocking of keys within a single module is achieved simultaneously, such that all keys unlock at the same time. A yellow illumination indicates when a key position is unlocked.

RFID safety key modules operate with Safety on Guard. Dual channel safety circuits are opened when the RFID communication is broken between any paired holder and key within the module. A red illumination indicates a broken RFID signal at a specific key position within the module.

Retrofit RSK alongside an existing solution

The independent dual channel contacts of the RSK allow it to sit beside an existing interlocking solution with hardwired OSSD or clean contact connection to the control system

What if there is a guard locking device already installed?

Retrofitting RFID Safety Key with a medium duty interlock; simply cable the hardwired solution back to the control system to add forced extraction functionality to safe access.
