Edwards Signaling GuardSwitch Series Safety Switch, Explosion Proof, IP64, Explosionproof black anodized

Designed to keep people and process equipment safe in hazardous environments, the Edwards Signaling GuardSwitch magnetic contact delivers explosion‑proof, tamper‑resistant guarding and reliable status monitoring for industrial security and safety systems. The 371‑BT model combines a UL‑classified explosionproof enclosure (Class I, II, III) with an IP64 rating to resist dust and water ingress, and a rugged black anodized die‑cast aluminum housing for long service life in mining, grain handling, paint booths and other demanding sites. With DPST contacts (1 NO, 1 NC) and 48V operation capability, the switch supports simultaneous safety shutdown and system monitoring, while the 0.3–0.6" nominal sensing range and -40°F to 180°F temperature rating ensure consistent performance across installations. Screw‑terminal wired connectivity simplifies integration with safety relays and PLCs; the defeat‑resistant design minimizes tampering and reduces costly downtime. Ideal for machine guarding, security monitoring and industrial surveillance systems, the Edwards Signaling GuardSwitch 371‑BT offers a dependable solution for protecting assets and personnel.
