Abstract (en)

The sensor switch consists of a combination of a sensor system (3) with a mechanical-pressure sensitive system (7), whereby systems are complementary and are mounted in a housing (6) with a guide that acts a light diffusing body (8) when illuminated. I the sensor system is not activated because of a poorly conducting actuating material, activation is achieved by the actuation pressure on the mechanical-pressure sensitive system and the function of the sensor switch is guaranteed.

Abstract (de)

Durch die Kombination von Sensor-Systemen mit mechanischdruckempfindlichen oder verschleissfreien druck- bzw. lichtempflindlichen Systemen können optimale Lösungen für Sensortaster, nicht nur in vandalensicherer Ausführung, sondern auch in höheren Schutzklassen, erreicht werden. <IMAGE>
