Safety Interlock Switches
TL8012-S
• High locking force of 2000 N (450 lb.)—locks guard door shut
until machine is safe to enter
• NEMA 6 enclosure enables the TL8012-S to withstand water
washdown cleaning
• Door and lock monitoring—the TL8012-S has a total of 5
contacts: 2 N/C safety + 1 N/O for door position monitoring plus
1 N/C + 1 N/O for lock monitoring
• Lid-mounted status light is on when solenoid is energized,
indicating that solenoid has unlocked the guard door
• Rotatable head—the rotatable head of the TL8012-S provides 4
actuator entry positions to satisfy most installation requirements
• Optional key release—this option on power-to-unlock models
allows emergency manual unlocking of the
guard door
• Long life—the TL8012, with its variety of stainless steel actua-
tors and stainless steel guide, is designed for a minimum of
one million actuations.

Application Monitoring Units
Used with the TL4024 for machines with
constant overrun. Gives a timed delay to the
lock/release signal. Failsafe and adjustable
to a range of times from 1.0 seconds up to 31
seconds.

Safety Monitoring Relay Units
Used with the TL4024 for machines with
inconstant or variable overrun. Senses back EMF
of AC or DC motors. Failsafe and adjustable to a
range of 0.01 V to 0.10 V.
Safety monitoring relays ensure a maximum level
of safety by monitoring all wiring in the safety
circuit, including switches and contactors. Any
fault and the power to the machine is switched
off. A variety of safety monitoring relay units are
available.
