The Colour Makes the Difference

The operator should be informed of the machine’s status at all times, and the safety devices should not interfere with the work. Therefore, door handle systems should be safe, ergonomic, easy to install, and offer high transparency at the human-machine interface, giving users full control.

Schmersal’s DHS Door Handle System stands out with its RGB technology, allowing the robust handle to be illuminated in seven colours. These colours, which the user can control and assign to different machine operating statuses, provide clear and unmistakable signals, enhancing control and visibility.

“All Inclusive” Door Handle System

For machine builders and operators, the new DHS door handle system provides the advantage of eliminating the need for separate door handles, indicator lights, or control devices. This integration saves installation time, particularly for enclosures or safety gates made from standard 40 mm profile systems.

The door handle is equipped with a push button, which users can customize with the supplied button caps in different colours. This push button can serve various functions, such as a reset or to release the safety gate’s opening mechanism. Versions without push buttons and lighting are also available.

Combine the Door Handle System and Control Panel

Operators can easily recognize machine status at a glance, with all necessary functions conveniently accessible, thanks to the BDF40 control panel designed specifically for the DHS. Featuring four operating/display elements, the BDF40’s flat design allows easy integration into the surrounding structure. Available with or without an emergency stop function, it can be seamlessly combined with the DHS door handle system using a connecting element.

Alternatively, the new BDF module can be installed as a stand-alone control panel. The 12-pin M12 connection ensures quick and error-free installation, while the optional MS mounting kit provides a high level of tamper protection.

Monitor Position of the Safety Gate

The DHS door handle system can be combined with safety switching devices for position monitoring and even for interlocking of safety gates.

There are two options for position monitoring:
