Coded Stainless Steel Safety Switches
What are the features of coded stainless steel safety switches?
- Certified safety: The switches are tested in accordance with ISO 13849-1 (PLe/Cat. 4), ISO 14119 (Type 4), IEC 60947-5-3, and ANSI/UL 508.
- Hygienic design: Stainless steel (316) housing with IP69K protection and smooth surfaces (Ra4) enable residue-free cleaning.
- Tamper protection: Activation is only possible with the coded actuator included in the scope of delivery.
- Extreme resistance: The sensors are designed for temperatures up to +105°C and high chemical influences.
- Mounting tolerance: Large switching distances compensate for mechanical misalignment at the safety door for high system availability.
- Compact design variety: Gap-free variants such as ZCode-TCE prevent dirt accumulation in sensitive areas.
- Status display: An integrated LED signals the current switching status for quick on-site diagnosis.
- System compatible: The entire series is suitable for series connection to safety relays or controllers such as ZANDER TALOS.
What is a coded stainless steel safety switch?
A coded stainless steel safety switch is a non-contact protective device used to monitor the status of isolating protective devices (such as doors or flaps) on machines. The special feature is the coding: the switch only responds to a specifically assigned counterpart (the actuator), which prevents simple bypassing or manipulation with conventional magnets. With its high-quality stainless steel housing, it is specially designed for harsh environments where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and extreme temperatures play a decisive role.
What are the areas of application for coded stainless steel safety switches?
- Food & beverage production: The switches can easily withstand daily high-pressure cleaning as well as CIP and SIP processes.
- Pharmaceutical industry & clean rooms: The high surface quality and chemical resistance meet the most stringent requirements for sterility and cleanliness.
- Chemical processing plants: The specialized stainless steel (316) reliably protects the sensor technology from corrosion caused by aggressive media.
- Plant engineering with high thermal requirements: Heat resistance up to +105°C allows for protection even in thermally stressed process zones.

Stainless Steel Safety Switches ZCode-LCE, ZCode-TCE, ZCode-MC, ZCode-MCF, ZCode-CCE, ZCode-CCEF, ZCode-RCE
The safety rope switches as well as the safety sensors are completely dust- and waterproof (IP 69K) and have a stainless steel housing for high temperature requirements up to +105°C or for high chemical resistance to environmental influences.
Now also available are the super compact type ZCode-TCE as well as types without gap with minimal edges and angles (ZCode-MCF, ZCode-CCEF), which are specially designed for the food industry. All Stainless Steel Safety Switches have a high- specified housing (316) which features high surface smoothness (Ra4).
The entire ZCode-Series can be connected in series to most commercially safety relays (e.g. ZANDER SR-series) or to safety controllers (e.g. ZANDER TALOS).
