Overview
General description
The safety lock Knox with frame part Knox 2A, is a lock that complies with the highest safety level (two locking bolts
with monitored positions) that can be used both as a safety and a process lock. The locking function is
electronically controlled and is bi-stable, i.e. it retains its position (unlocked/locked) in the event of a power failure.
Connection is made to an 8-pole M12 connector, where dual signals for locking/unlocking are used for safe
operation, i.e. no dangerous situation will occur because of short-circuits or cable breakage.
Knox, with frame part Knox 2X, is a process lock with a built in safety sensor to monitor that door is closed and
locked. While powered, a single locking signal must be applied to keep the device locked. However, the locking
function is bi-stable in case of a power failure, i.e. the lock retains its position (unlocked/locked) if power to the
device is cut off. Connections to Knox 2X is made through a 5-pole M12 connector, with a pin configuration which
allows connection to an Urax unit for easy connection to the AS-i bus.
The handles operate as they would on a normal door apart from the exterior handle also having a reset function,
reducing the need for an extra reset button for this device, and an interior handle that can be used for escape
release when the device is in a locked state. Its design and durability makes the device ideal for harsh
environments as the sensors in the lock are non-contact and the lock is manufactured out of stainless steel.
Shielded cable is recommended between this unit and the rest of the safety circuit.
