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
 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  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.

The KSUPS solenoid controlled switch is designed to be part of a safety system and is used to isolate the power releasing a key
which is then used to gain access to a hazardous area via an access interlock such as the AI, AIE or Salus.
The KSUPS solenoid controlled switch is not designed for security purposes.
No hazardous substances were used in the manufacture of this product. The product can be disposed of in standard waste.
Usage
Installation
Back of panel units should be mounted to a at surface. A Ø36mm hole and two off Ø7mm holes should be drilled in the panel
to accept the lock mounting. The lock face should be sealed to the panel for ingress protection.
Cables should be connected to the switch in accordance with the applicable wiring diagrams. Ensure that the unit is bonded for
earth continuity (see drawing on page 4 for more installation details).
IMPORTANT:
The interlock should be mounted using anti-tamper fasteners to prevent unauthorised removal.
The KSUPS range of solenoid controlled switches must be installed by a competent and qualied person who has read
and understood these instructions. Please retain this document in your technical le.
Maintenance
Periodic visual checks should be carried out by the site manager / safety ofcer.
Do not lubricate lock barrel with oil or grease, use CK Dry Powder Graphite if necessary.
In case of defects beeing detected please contact your nearest Castell Support Department for further actions.
Please see Contact section for contact details.

Application
A typical application of KSUPS Solenoid Controleld
Switch is machine guarding. It is usually used in
combination with an Access Interlock such as the Salus
for part body access or an Access Interlock with an
exchange key for full body access control.
The KSUPS breaks the machine safety circuit, ensuring a
machine is shut down. Once the Machine has completed
the cycle, an exetrnal signal is received by the solenoid.
The LED will illuminate and the key can be turned and
removed, ensuring the power is locked out. The key can
then be taken to the Salus Automatic Access Interlock to
enable access to the machine.
The machine cannot be restarted until the door is closed,
the bolt is trapped in the Access Interlock and the key
is removed and taken to the KSUPS solenoid controlled
switch.
