Trojan 5 & 6 is Schneider Electric's safety interlock switch, which is designed with a strong and versatile tongue (or key) to fit at the leading edge of sliding, hinged or lift-off guards. The dual key entry slots and rotatable head, movable only by releasing the cover screws, allow four actuator entry options. Trojan contains all of the safety related functions, such as forced guided contacts, tamper resistant mechanism, allowing the machine to be safeguarded in compliance with the machine directive. Operation of the switch is achieved through the insertion of a specially profiled stainless steel key that is permanently mounted to the leading edge of the guard door. The Trojan actuator includes a self-ejecting mechanism that prevents operation of the switch if the actuator is not mounted to the guard door (e.g., if the operator uses a spare key). Trojan 6 is available with either 4 N.C. safety contacts, 3 N.C. safety contacts and 1 N.O. auxiliary contact or 2 N.C. safety contacts and 2 N.O. auxiliary contacts. The unit is sealed to IP67 and has three M20 conduit entries.
The document describes the Trojan family of universal tongue or key actuated safety interlock switches designed for sliding, hinged, or lift-off guards. These units feature dual key entry slots, a rotatable head movable only by releasing cover screws, and self-ejecting tamper-resistant actuators to ensure compliance with machine safeguarding directives.
The datasheet provides specific technical data for the Trojan 5 (2 N.C. safety contacts) and Trojan 6 (various combinations of N.C./N.O. contacts), including electrical ratings, mechanical life, environmental protection (IP67), and dimensions. It also lists available actuator styles (Standard, GD2, Flat) and accessories like alignment guides and catch kits.
