Description
|
| The DC10 Lock is a two part access interlock comprising of a main body and catch complete with 20 amp electrical contacts. The lock is available with a varying number of poles and electrical contact arrangements. The catch is available in two options, one suited to well aligned doors, the other suited to poor, mis-aligned doors. The interlock is manufactured in brass and comes with the brass figure or Q type lock portions. The lock is ideally suited for use on light duty panel doors in dry, non-corrosive environments where the lock is subject to light to medium use. Typical industries using the D Lock are Control Panel Builders, HV and LV Switchgear and the food industry. |

Operation
|
| Under normal operating conditions the key is trapped and the catch is trapped in the lock with the contacts either being all closed or open and closed. The catch can only be released when the key has been released. The rotation of the key changes the condition of the electrical contacts. Please contact Castell for the alternative key / catch / switch conditions that are available. |

Typical System

The DC10 Lock is designed to operate as part of an integrated safety system, controlling access to hazardous areas. A typical example of isolation and access control is shown below.

System Description
|
The removal of the key in the DC10, switches the electrical supply to the machine to a safe condition. The key is then taken into the area by the operative to safeguard against accidental lock in or start up or to initialize another part of the process, i.e. switching the machine into a teach mode.
