MASSIMOTTO - coded magnetic safety switch
with built-in connector

Comitronic, the French safety equipment specialist, has just expanded its machine safety switch range with the latest version of its MASSIMOTTO switch — a tamper-proof, contactless, coded, magnetic safety switch with an integrated M12 connector. MASSIMOTTO is rated Category 3 or 4 under the EN954-1 standard and offers enhanced, effective machine protection.

The MASSIMOTTO switch is fitted with the Acotom® system, which is a fully electronic, tamper-proof, magnet-based decoding system specifically designed to protect dangerous machines. The single or dual M12 connector can be used to connect switches o­n machines in series, resulting in quick and easy fitting o­n all 25mm or 45mm aluminium sections. The Acotom® process complies with UL/CSA standards and is TÜV-certified.

The MASSIMOTTO device is based o­n an innovative technological concept and constitutes an easy-to-use replacement for mechanical locking systems. The device’s LED is viewed via a translucent zone. The Massimotto switch is not affected by shocks or vibrations, and can be used in all sectors of industry, especially food processing. Its cover, which protects the mounting screws, ensures that the device is doubly tamper-proof.

The MASSIMOTTO range consists of two switches:

- a stand-alone switch — rated Category 3 under the EN954-1 standard which operates without a safety module; and

- a non-autonomous switch — rated Category 4 under the EN954-1 standard in association with the AWAX safety module.

For economical reasons, the MASSIMOTTO is also available with double emitters, especially for double doors. With this switch, you need o­nly o­ne receiver for 2 doors, each emitter being mounted o­n each side of the door. When o­ne of the sides of the double door is open, the MASSIMOTTO will stop it.
