Why choose the SAFEMASTER STS from Dold?
Carrying out maintenance and repair work can be challenging when making sure machines are safe. Dold’s solution to this – the SAFEMASTER STS safety switch and key transfer system – has been developed to cope with rough operating conditions in mind and provide an enhanced level of safety for your team.
The challenge
When ensuring the machine is safely switched off, depending on the application, an additional safety release signal must first be received by the control panel before access can be granted. This functionality is imperative in order to avoid accidents. These could be caused by, for example, run on movements of the machine or elevated temperatures. Only when criteria are met and the system is safe may the access doors for the cleaning process be opened.
The DOLD solution
With SAFEMASTER STS, predefined processes can be enforced for ensuring the safety of personnel before triggering a system restarting, which then makes it safe to enter an area. For plants such as mixers and vessels, this is ensured by forced key transfer. SAFEMASTER STS offers two shutdown alternatives: Power Interlocking and Control Interlocking. The possibility of mechanically and wirelessly safeguarding entrances and safety doors saves installation cost and increases the availability and ergonomics of the system.
The Safemaster STS difference –
- Highly robust stainless steel design
- Wireless protection
- Modular, expandable system
- For safety applications up to Performance Level e / Category 4
In short – SAFEMASTER STS from Dold combines the advantages of safety switches, guard locks, key transfer and command functions in a single system. The new fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) variant, with its sleek functional design and its ability to be combined with established stainless steel systems brings a reliable solution to rough environmental conditions.
Remote, handheld solutions from Dold bring extra layer of safety
Going a stage further, Dold have a handheld solution in their SAFEMASTER range to give another layer of security when accessing hazardous areas. While calibrating machines or remedying problems, the wireless enabling switch from the SAFEMASTER W range is the ideal companion for your safety.
It switches off in the event of any dangerous activity in just a fraction of a second, through a lightweight, ultra-compact hand-held transmitter and a radio safety switch with safety-oriented outputs. The signal transmission via radio of up to 800 mtrs and infra-red unit registration ensures that only systems in the field of vision of the hand-held transmitter can be activated.
When it comes to safety, Dold are constantly evolving their range to harness new technologies to assist in improved security and ultimately, safer ways for you to work. For detailed information on the specs and variations available on all these products, head to www.dold.co.uk
