KSSE
Multi Key Solenoid Controlled Switch
User Manual - Original Language Version
The KSSE is a solenoid controlled, multi-key electrical switch
for the controlled isolation of low current. This product is used
where the controlled isolation of a machine needs to take place,
i.e. where a robot has to fi nish a cycle prior to isolation and
where multiple entry points to the protected area are required.
The solenoid is continuously rated, and its position is electrically
monitored. This type of isolator should be used for short term,
off load isolation. The unit is supplied capable of being mounted
into an existing panel or for surface mounting within its own IP65
rated lockable steel enclosure. The KSSE is manufactured from
either brass or stainless steel making it ideal for use in standard
or harsh corrosive environments.
Operation
E20-FSS-3D-F-C/O4-110A
Castell multi key solenoid controlled switches are typically used for machine isolation in applications where a machine
has to fi nish a cycle prior to isolation.
1.
While the isolation key is free, the power is on. Personnel keys are trapped.
2.
By inserting and turning the isolation key in the KSSE, the contact condition changes switching the power off. Once the
machine has fi nished the cycle, a signal is sent to the KSSE to energise the solenoid and an LED illuminates. The personnel
keys can now be released by pushing the button. These keys can be taken by personnel to unlock the doors in the machine
area.
3.
The Isolation Keys stay trapped ensuring power is off until all personnel keys are replaced in the KSSE unit.

Isolation Key is free while power
is on, solenoid is de-energised.
Personnel keys are trapped.
Insert and turn isolation key to switch
power off. Once external signal is
received (LED illuminates), push the
button to de-energize the solenoid and
release personnel keys.
Power is off, isolation key is
trapped and personnel keys are
free.
