The DHS-150 door handle system, when combined with the AZM150 solenoid interlock, contributes to better system availability.

The new practical DHS-150 door handle system makes the slimline AZM150 solenoid interlock from Schmersal easier. The ergonomic DHS-150 avoids needing a separate door handle and is suitable for machine enclosures or fencing and all standard aluminium profiles with a width of 40mm. The robust door bolt is handy on heavy swing doors and for use in harsh environments. The DHS-150 door handle system is especially suited to heavy swing doors.

One benefit of the new accessory is that the actuator is pre-positioned by the bolt in the DHS system, thus ensuring optimal insertion into the device. This gives the system stability against lateral forces. If lateral forces on interlocks cannot be overcome, the safety door will not be opened –thus causing delays in the production process. The DHS-150 door handle system and the AZM150 solenoid interlock improve system availability.

In addition, the DHS-150 door handle system is also equipped with an integrated locking device (LOTO). This locking tag function protects operating staff from mistakenly being locked inside larger walk-in systems and machines while performing servicing and repair work. The locking device ensures that the door of the protective device cannot be closed and unintentional machine start-up is prevented.

The AZM150 solenoid interlock has an interlocking force of 1500 Newtons and is characterised by a slimline, space-saving design. In addition, it can be combined with three different actuators for different attachment situations. A positive interlock feature is the rotating actuator head, which can be locked easily by simple placement on the cover rather than being bolted into place. The rotating actuator head with its two insertion slots enables various installation positions and actuating options and makes the interlock particularly versatile.

The AZM150 solenoid interlock is electromechanical in design and can be combined with a high safety standard; the interlock is supplied with a low coding level as standard or optionally with a high coding level by ISO 14119. The DHS-150 door handle system can be used with the B1 straight actuator for the standard version and the individually coded version. The B1 actuator is supplied with the high coding level version of the device but must be ordered separately for use with the standard version.
