BM(S) Modular Key Exchange

Description
The XM and XMS (full stainless steel version) are modular mechanical key exchange units that are used to exchange one or more keys for a number of other keys. These devices form the link between isolation devices and access locks. Any combination of isolation / access keys are possible.

Operation
Keys used to gain access are mechanically trapped until other keys from the isolation points are inserted and turned. Only when all isolation keys are inserted can an access key be removed. Removing the access keys mechanically traps the isolation keys in place.

Typical Application
The key exchange unit allows a number of secondary functions, following an initial action e.g. opening several guard doors (at the same time) on a machine once the power supply to the machine has been isolated.
