Installation and maintenance Installation 1. The installation of all ABB Jokab Safety interlock switches must be done in accordance with a risk assessment for the individual application. Installation must only be carried out by competent personnel and in accordance with these instructions.
The temperature will not affect performance of the switch function, life time or damage the housing. As a precaution it is always advised to limit the energised time of the solenoid(not on MKey8M) and where possible and avoid mounting on sensitive surfaces (metal preferred).
NB: In some cases, T might be reduced by the opening time of the guard until the opening size permits access of the relevant parts of the body. Refer to EN ISO 13855 for further details and EN ISO 13857 for specified values. 2TLC172245M0201, rev. B www.abb.com/jokabsafety 2013-04-22...

240V 3A (720VA break) PF 0.38 NB: A single MKey8 can achieve performance level PL c according to EN ISO 13849 if used correctly with an ABB Jokab Safety safety relay, Pluto safety-PLC or Vital safety module. If two MKey8-switches are used for the same safety function, a performance level up to PL e can be achieved.
