OPERATIONInfo for Exchange UnitThe key exchange unit (KEX) is used in an interlocking sequence to link together other devices in the Prosafe range and caters to more complex operating sequences. The operating principle is such that no secondary keys can be removed from the unit until all primary keys have been inserted, rotated, and trapped. The primary keys remain trapped until all secondary keys have been re-inserted, rotated, and trapped. It is typically used in applications where there is more than one access way to the hazardous area, and each access way must be open at the same time. The key exchange unit accomplishes this by allowing one or more keys to be inserted which then releases multiple keys out. A typical process may require a rotary key switch to turn a motor off. The key from the rotary switch is removed and inserted into a KEX. The KEX then releases three keys which would allow simultaneous access to the hazard area through three different gates. This KEX is described as 1 key in 3 keys out. The keys in are considered primary codes, so the keys are not included in the KEX. The keys out are considered secondary codes, so the keys are included Key Exchange Units have a range of standard units in various combinations and incorporate Primary keys in release secondary keys simultaneously on units up to six ways and Replaceable code barrel assembliesEXCHANGE UNIT DATAKey Code LabelingStandard Key Code LabelingNumber Of Keys4 wayKeys In And Out2 key in 2 keys outCODE DATAWould you like help entering codes?NoKey 1 CodeGoKey 2 CodeGoKey 3 CodeGnKey 4 CodeGn
