Switched and Interlocked Receptacles
MENNEKES switched and interlocked receptacles combine safety and durability in one pre-wired unit. A patented interlock mechanism prevents the switch from being turned “ON” unless the plug is fully inserted, and it stops removal unless the switch is in the “OFF” position. They feature a tough, thermoplastic NEMA 4X; 12 enclosure with poured-in-place gasketing and molded conduit drillpoints to stand up to chemicals and impact. Our full lineup of switched and interlocked receptacles includes IEC 60309-compliant and UL 1686 C1-type versions as well as our stainless steel SPEC series for demanding washdown environments.

LBK Safe Radar System
The world's first safe 3D radar system, LBK, was developed for the monitoring of hazardous areas in harsh industrial environments. It detects the bodies of persons and in doing so monitors the protected area for access and presence. Using the controller, up to 6 sensors can be combined.
Advantages for you:
Reliable operation, even under harsh ambient conditions with, e.g., dirt, dust, smoke, and light
Flexible adaptation of the protected area to the application: determine the number and position of the sensors, configure the length and opening angle/width of the area.
Static objects in the protective field are permissible and do not result in shutdown of the safety outputs
Fast integration due to simple system design and controller with PROFIsafe or FSoE interface

New 480W power supply for marine applications
The CP20.245-R2 features the perfect electronical and mechanical design for the rough environmental conditions at sea and on the coast. The power supply is characterized by its high immunity to transients and voltage peaks as well as its robust aluminum housing. The device provides the full output power of 480W even with fluctuating ambient temperatures between -40°C and + 60°C. The extensive approval package includes Marine DNV, Marine ABS and ATEX, among others.High reliability thanks to integrated decoupling feature
The built-in decoupling feature makes the CP20.245-R2 unique. An integrated decoupling MOSFET enables a safe 1 + 1 and n + 1 redundancy between the power supplies. This ensures the availability of all necessary systems in the event of a fault. The additional redundancy module that is normally required for this kind of setup can be omitted. The special plug-in connectors allow a replacement of the devices during operation, if the sequence described in the data sheet is adhered to.
Proven industrial version is the basis
The CP20.245-R2 is based on the proven industrial version of the CP20, which is used in thousands of applications worldwide. The high efficiency of 95.2% ensures low power losses and little waste heat. In addition, the 20% power reserve has been taken over from the basic version. The compact product width of 48mm could be retained despite the additional, application-specific features.
The CP20.245-R2 is available from stock as a standard product.
