• Non-contact products for door detection
• Miniature switches for smaller openings
• Reduced installation time and cost
• Tamper resistant

FEATURES
GKM Series Global Miniature.
Features: Red body color • Integrated
cable or connector(s) • Bottom or sideentry • Bottom, side-entry, or dual connector versions (for daisy chaining a number
of switches together) • 90° or straight key
• Extremely compact enclosure • Positive
opening operation of normally closed contacts (conforming to IEC/EN 60947-5-1-3)
• IP67 rating • Stackable design allows
side-by-side mounting • Robust keys • UL
listed, CSA certified, CE compliant, SIL 3
capable • High current switching capabilities • Small door swing radius down to 160
mm [6.3 in]
Benefits: Reduced installation time and
costs. Flexibility of mounting and actuation options. Ability to function as a
final switching device for small, low-risk
equipment. Operates with safety control
modules for more complex applications.
Fits extremely compact spaces, and is
often suitable for wet applications. Simple
mechanical and electrical redundancy for
some options. Easy application in multiple
door modular machinery (no difficulty in

wiring small switch enclosures).Durable,
tough design. Global acceptance.

FF and FFS Series Non-contact.
Features: Red body color (except FFS
and stainless steel offerings) • Tamperproof electronic switching • 7 mm to 10
mm [0.28 in to 0.4 in] operating distance
• Guard status indication • CE, UL approvals • Options of one or two safety contacts
• Tested to over 1,000,000 operations
• Simple mounting (M18/30 thread mounting or frame-mountable versions • Guard
status indication available • ac and dc
versions
Benefits: Tolerates misalignment over
lifetime of machine. Gap between sensor
and actuator large, enabling non-contact
switching. FFS offers superior tamper
resistance. Integrates easily with control
modules. Easy daisy chain configurations.

GSS Series Safety Limits.
Features: Red body color • EN50041 and
EN50047 mounting and characteristics
• IEC electrical standard for global ap-

plications • Positive opening operation of
normally closed contacts (conforming to
IEC/EN60947-5-1-3) • Rugged housing
(zinc die-cast) • Full range of actuator
heads and levers • Sealing up to IP67;
NEMA 1, 4, 12, and 13 • Snap-action and
slow-action basic switches • International
conduit sizes • Galvanically isolated contacts • UL listed, CSA and CE certified,
SIL 3 capable
Benefits: Standard mounting and characteristics are globally available and accepted. Welded NC contacts will separate
(vital security in safety applications).
Range of actuation methods for detecting
conditions in guarding and machine status
applications. Wiring and body flexibility.
Often suitable for inductive switching and
safety relay interfaces.

GSX Series.
Features: Snap action contacts with
positive break in an explosion-proof
housing • Positive action push plunger
breaks current upon opening of door
or aperature • Explosion-proof housing
