Overview
The Sentrol 115-6Y-06K GuardSwitch Level 1 is a non-contact safety interlock position switch built for industrial safety applications. Manufactured by Edwards Signaling, this unit features a durable nylon 6/6 enclosure, SPST-NO contact configuration, and a compact form factor suitable for machinery guarding, door interlocks, and access control. The non-contact design eliminates wear and improves reliability compared to mechanical switches.
Key Features
- Non-contact magnetic sensing technology — no physical contact wear or degradation
- SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw, Normally Open) relay output
- Wide operating voltage range: 120VAC/DC at 0.2A maximum
- 1-inch nominal sensing range for flexible mounting
