Description Load
The TLS-GD2 is a positive mode, tongue operated guard locking Thermal Current (lth) 10A
interlock switch that locks a machine guard closed until power is

isolated and ensures that it remains isolated while the guard is open.
It has three safety (N.C.) contacts and two auxiliary (N.O.) contacts. Safety Contact Gap >2mm
The TLS-GD2 head has two entry slots and it can be rotated to Rtd. Insulation Voltage (Ui) 500V
provide four actuator entry points. A blanking plug is provided to seal Rtd. Impulse withstand Volt (Uimp) 2500V

could cause damage to tooling and components or cause an additional Opening
hazard. Break Contact Min Force 12N (2.7lbs)
Max Actuation Speed 160mm per sec (6.3ins per sec)
The TLS-GD2 is available in three types. The TLS-1 GD2 and
TLS-3 GD2 incorporate a power-to-release function. Three manual Max Actuation Frequency 1 Cycle per sec
release points with security screws allow the locked TLS-GD2 to be Case Material UL approved glass filled polyester

can also be supplied. The TLS-2 GD2 has a power to lock function. Protection IP67
All types have five sets of contacts in various forms and are suitable
for use with PLCs. Conduit Entry 3 x M20 or quick-disconnect style
Operating Temperature -20°C to + 60°C (-4°F to +140°F)
The TLS-1 GD2 and TLS-3 GD2 are both available with Escape Mounting 4 x M5

This allows the intentional unlocking of the TLS-GD2 from inside a to lock
hazardous area, providing a means of escape for a person who may Mechanical Life 1,000,000 operations

Weight 400g (.88lbs)
A stainless steel actuator guide is fitted to protect the unit from

Power Supply 24V AC/DC or 110V AC or 230V AC
Features (solenoid)
• Power to release or power to lock Solenoid Power Typically 7W 100% ED
• High locking force ≤2000N (450lbs.) Escape Release Button:

Applications
Note: Lift-off guards require good alignment when using
tongue actuated interlock switches.
IMPORTANT: It must not be possible to lift the guard
without actuating the interlock. An interlock on either
side may be required.
TLS escape release is suitable for machine guarding with
full body access.
