The KSUPS is a solenoid controlled key driven electrical
switch for the controlled isolation or switching of low current
in conjunction with the control circuit. It is used in applications
such as UPS changeover system or where a machine has to
fi nish a cycle prior to isolation. A good example of this is fast,
safe access to robot cells where the robot needs to return to a
safe or home position before entry can be gained. The KSUPS is
manufactured from either brass or stainless steel making it ideal
for use in standard or harsh corrosive environments. The unit is
supplied ready for mounting into an existing panel.
Operation
KSUPS-FSB-P-CO4-110VAC
The Castell KSUPS Power Solenoid Controlled Switch is typically used for machine isolation in applications where a machine
has to fi nish a cycle prior to isolation.
1. While the power is on and a machine is running, the key is trapped in the Solenoid Controlled Switch.
2. To release the key, an extrenal signal must be received to energise the solenoid. With the solenoid energised,
the LED will illuminate to confi rm that the key can be removed ensuring the power is off.
3. The key can now be removed and taken to open the door lock and gain acces to the machine area.
The KSUPS is available for different switching loads as KS20, KS32 or KS63 (20, 32 or 63 amps power isolation respectivly) (see
order information on page 6 for more details).
The KSUPS is available with different solenoid voltages as AC or DC: 24, 110 or 240 V (see order information on page 6 for more
details).
The KSUPS comes with 4 contacts as standard with contacts arrangements as 2NO/2NC, 4NC, but auxiliary set of contacts are
available on request.
The KSUPS is available as a back of panel mount version.

KSUPS Solenoid Controlled Switch
Key is trapped while power is on,
solenoid is de-energised.
Solenoid is energised by external
signal. As the LED illuminates, key
can be turned and released.
Solenoid is energized, switch is
locked out and key is free.
