Interlock Switches Tongue Switches MT-GD2 Specifications Description The MT-GD2 is a robust tongue actuated safety interlock switch designed to fit at the opening edge of sliding, hinged or lift-off guards. With its dual entry slots and rotatable head, the MT-GD2 can offer eight different options for actuator entry. The MT-GD2 features a compact housing of only 117mm x 40mm x 43mm with DIN 50041 standard fixing centres and includes forced guided contacts and a tamper-resistant mechanism.

The unit is sealed to IP67 and has 1 conduit entry. Operation of the switch is achieved by the insertion of the specially profiled stainless steel actuator which should be permanently fixed to the leading edge of the guard door. An optional flexible actuator allows the MT-GD2 to operate on smaller radii doors (≥60mm) and a flat actuator gives additional mounting options. A style incorporating a latch release mechanism allows manual retention of the actuator in the switch until the release mechanism is manually activated. Strong and versatile, can be used in most applications Eight possible actuator entry points, easy to install Variety of contact configurations Optional latch release styles Industry standard fixing centres to DIN/EN50041 Conforms to EN1088, EN292, EN60947-5-1, EN60204-1, EN50041 12N (2.7lb) Torque Settings Fixing Bolts 1.6Nm Lid Screws 16.Nm Terminal Screws 1.0Nm Note: The safety contacts of the Guardmaster switches are described as normally closed (N.C.) i.e., with the guard closed, actuator in place (where relevant) and the machine able to be started.

IMPORTANT: It must not be possible to lift the guard without actuating the interlock. An interlock on either side may be required. 3-22 Interlock Switches Tongue Switches MT-GD2 Approximate Dimensions—mm (inches) Dimensions are not intended to be used for installation purposes.
