Designed to switch off equipment when a door or panel is opened Elesa's CFS hinge for hazardous areas has a built-in security switch to suit Category 1 areas. In industrial areas it can be used to help ensure operator safety. Alternatively the CFS may be used to remotely indicate status in, for example, access monitoring applications. Construction is an integral glass reinforced technopolymer unit, ensuring a tamper-proof installation and easy assembly.

Two variants are available – the CFS-SH with countersunk screw fixings for optimum strength and security and the CVS-CH with slotted fixing for easy adjustment. Each is offered with either top mount cable connection or rear mounting connector and appropriate leads to suit either the machine control or status indication role.

The CFS switching hinge, normally paired with the standard CFM hinge, provides 180° opening with switching operation over the range 4 to 15°.
