Why Choose the Pizzato VF PC14A9 Coded Protective Screw Covers?
The Pizzato VF PC14A9 is a set of coded protective screw covers for Pizzato NS series actuators, designed to increase protection against unauthorised removal or tampering with safety components. The covers snap into the openings above the actuator fixing screws, preventing normal access to the screws once installation is complete.
Each protective cover carries an individual three-character alphanumeric code. With 32 possible values for each character, Pizzato provides 32,768 possible combinations per cover; using two coded covers creates more than one billion possible code combinations. Recording the installed codes, for example during machine commissioning, provides a straightforward method of identifying whether the covers have subsequently been replaced.
Once fitted, the VF PC14A9 covers can only be removed by breaking them, making attempted access to the actuator fixing screws immediately evident. Durable laser marking ensures the identification codes remain clearly defined, providing machine builders and maintenance teams with a practical tamper-evident solution for NS series safety installations.

Tamper-Evident Protection for NS Series Actuators
Preventing unauthorised manipulation of machine safety components is an important consideration when designing guard interlocking systems. The VF PC14A9 covers are snapped over the fixing-screw openings of the NS series actuator, making the screws inaccessible without physically destroying the protective covers.
The coded marking provides an additional means of identifying intervention. By recording or photographing the codes during final machine installation, maintenance personnel can later verify whether the original covers remain installed. Because a removed cover cannot simply be refitted intact, attempted tampering becomes readily apparent during inspection.
Typical Applications
