For UPS systems

Industrial safety specialist Castell, currently celebrating its 90th birthday, has launched a new multivoltage interlock primarily for use with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The KSUPS+ is a solenoid-controlled trapped key interlock that only permits access to a UPS system once the system has been put into a safe condition.

The KSUPS+ features a number of design improvements, including multi-voltage input. Having a wide voltage input range means that a single device now replaces eight previous devices; the input voltage for the KSUPS+ ranges from 24V AC or DC to 220V AC or DC.

As a safety device, the integrity of the KSUPS+ is vital. A monitored solenoid increases the performance rating of the KSUPS+, ensuring a higher level of protection for personnel while working on UPS systems.

Castell has also reviewed the aesthetics of the device.
