Description
Product Name: 440F-EFFKV01175 Allen Bradley Processor module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 440F-EFFKV01175 is a component of Rockwell Automation’s Guardmaster safety product line, which focuses on machine and personnel safety. The 440F prefix indicates it belongs to a series of Guard Locking Switches or Coded Non-Contact Switches, most likely a Stainless Steel Coded Non-Contact Safety Interlock Switch.
This type of switch is designed for monitoring the position of guards (doors, gates, covers) and for providing a reliable safety interlock. The stainless steel construction makes it ideal for use in harsh environments, such as those with frequent washdowns, chemical exposure, or extreme temperatures, common in the Food and Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Chemical industries.

Product Advantages
- Superior Durability and Hygiene: The stainless steel (SS) housing provides excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and chemical damage, making it perfect for stringent washdown procedures (IP69K environments).
- High Tamper Resistance: Coded non-contact technology (usually RFID or unique magnetic coding) prevents simple defeat methods, improving overall machine safety and compliance.
- Tolerance to Misalignment: The non-contact design allows for greater tolerance to misalignment between the switch and the actuator compared to traditional mechanical limit switches.
- Long Life and Low Maintenance: The absence of moving mechanical parts subject to wear and tear results in a virtually unlimited operational life and reduces maintenance costs.
- Easy to Clean: The smooth, crevice-free stainless steel design resists the buildup of bacteria and contaminants, which is critical in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing.
Precautions (Important Notes)
- System Integration: This device must be connected to an appropriate safety monitoring relay, safety controller, or programmable safety system (like an Allen-Bradley GuardMaster Safety Relay or GuardLogix Controller) to achieve the specified safety performance level (PL/SIL).
- Actuator Pairing: Non-contact switches require a specific, correctly coded actuator for operation. Ensure the correct actuator is purchased and paired with the switch.
- Installation: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions strictly regarding mounting distance, alignment, and tightening torque. Misalignment can prevent proper operation and compromise safety.
- Wiring: Always follow local electrical codes and the device wiring diagram. Do not use the auxiliary output as a safety output. Ensure proper grounding where required.
- Maintenance: While low maintenance, periodically inspect the switch and actuator for physical damage or buildup of debris that could interfere with sensing.
Product Applications
The robust and hygienic design of the 440F-EFFKV01175 makes it essential for safety interlock applications in industries with harsh or sanitary requirements:
- Food and Beverage Processing: Guarding access doors, mixer lids, and conveyors that require frequent, high-pressure, chemical washdowns.
- Pharmaceutical and Biotech: Interlocking access panels on reactors, filling machines, and cleanroom equipment.
- Chemical Processing: Safety interlocks on tanks, vessels, and material handling systems exposed to corrosive chemicals.
- Packaging Machinery: Monitoring safety gates on high-speed packaging, wrapping, and labeling lines.
- Material Handling: Safety interlocks on robotic cells, palletizers, and automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS) operating in wet environments.
