Description

The SHGV Series consist of a guard-mounted mechanical locking device and a 2-position key operated selector switch for control panel mounting. This unique key transfer system assures the removal of power before allowing the access control guard to be open … without the need for electrical wiring at the interlocked machine guard location.

Operation

When the machine guard is open the transfer key (for operating the 2-position selector switch) cannot be withdrawn from the guard locking mechanism.

Upon closing of the guard, the mechanical actuator key permits the transfer-key to be turned (locking the guard) and withdrawn. The transfer-key can now be removed and inserted into the 2-position selector switch, allowing it to be operated (e.g. power to be turned on) … trapping the transfer key in the “on” position.

To unlock (open) the guard, the selector switch must be turned to the off position. The transfer-key can now be withdrawn and inserted into the guard-locking mechanism for release of the mechanical actuator key and opening of the guard.

The two lock barrel version allows the removal of a second transfer key when the mechanical actuator key has been released. This second transfer key prevents the removal of the “power control” transfer key from the keyed interlock. Thus it can be removed from the interlock by the operator to protect against the inadvertent start-up of the equipment.
