The XCSE73117 is a safety switch from the XCS series designed for safety interlocking applications. It features a metal housing with IP67 protection, making it suitable for harsh environments. The switch includes two normally closed (NC) contacts and one normally open (NO) contact, with a key-operated mechanism for secure locking. It has two tapped entries for cable entry (Pg 13.5) and employs electromagnet interlocking, providing locking on de-energization and unlocking upon energization of the solenoid. This device is typically used to ensure safety by controlling access to hazardous areas or machinery.
