Description

For secure head retention in all applications the top M8 head fixings must be used.

Fortress provides a single action escape release function from inside a guarded 

area through the use of a head and handle application. This unit may be installed 

in left or right orientation to hinged doors. The tongue incorporates a self-aligning 

feature to cater for misalignment on guards. Simply turning the red handle will open 

a locked guard from the inside and open the safety contacts. Releasing versions of 

other modules are the type that 

MUST

 be used in conjunction with this module. 

•  Intuitive single action escape release handle.

•  Escape release activation releases tongue and opens safety contacts.

•  Handle includes Lock-Out for 4 padlocks of 8mm diameter.

•  10kN retention force.

•  Stainless steel tongue is ideal for fast and frequent access.

•  2 mounting position at 180° increments allowing on site handing change 

possible.

•  Misalignment tolerance of +/- 10mm with +/- 4° angular misalignment.

•  Security tool reset after escape release actuation or auto reset function available.

• 

Head can be fitted with lock-out device for additional lockout capability.

NOTICE!

 

If, as a result of risk assessment, it cannot be discounted that persons can be enclosed within a danger zone, the guard locks 

with additional removable keys (safety keys) must be used or comparable measures must be taken - GS ET 19.
