Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FC376-M2 used for?
The FC376-M2 is used for emergency signalling and position detection across machinery using a rope or cable system.
How does the rope actuation work?
The switch is activated by pulling or tensioning a connected rope, allowing operation from multiple points along a machine or conveyor line.
What contact configuration does it have?
It features 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) snap-action contacts.
Is it suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, with an IP67 protection rating, it is designed for demanding industrial environments.
What happens in the rest position?
In the rest state, the actuator keeps the contact block engaged, meaning the NO and NC contacts are inverted.
