Safety hinge switch SHS3

With the SHS3 safety hinge switch Bernstein presents the logical further development of the SHS series and a solution that makes it unnecessary to replace the safety hinge switch when equipment such as safety gates are damaged as the result of mechanical stress, such as after being bumped by a forklift truck for instance. Even after the switching point has been set, if need be, the user can now correct the hinge setting with the aid of the integrated fine adjustment system. The SHS3 hinge switch is reusable even when the entire system needs to be converted: With the aid of a change kit, the user can redefine the switching point without using the high protection rating of IP67 / IP69 K.
