In the heart of modern logistics, managing flows in loading bays represents one of the most delicate challenges for workplace safety. Ensuring high levels of loading dock safety requires reliable communication systems: a simple misunderstanding between the warehouse operator and the truck driver can quickly turn into a serious accident or costly operational downtime.
To eliminate every margin of error, Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l. launches the ASFSW230, a 230V manual traffic light selector switch specifically designed for controlling traffic lights in industrial loading bays. Integrated within a complete loading dock signal system, this device plays a key role in optimizing safety and coordination between internal and external operations.
One device, three levels of protection
1. For the Safety Manager (RSPP): control and prevention
Internal visual feedback: thanks to the integrated red and green lights, the internal operator sees exactly the status of the external traffic light, avoiding unauthorized departures or dockings. This function acts as an effective loading dock signaling device, ensuring clear and immediate communication.
Immediate Emergency: the robust emergency mushroom button allows for instantaneous system blocking. In case of danger, pressing the button turns both the internal lights and the external traffic light to RED, signaling a total stop.
Regulatory Compliance: Product certified according to directives 2014/35 EU (Low Voltage) and 2011/65 EU (RoHS).
2. For the owner: operational efficiency and durability
Industrial Reliability: Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, from -10 °C up to +60 °C, ideal for warehouses subject to strong thermal shocks.
Low Consumption: With a power of only 4.6 W, it guarantees continuous use without weighing on company energy costs. When combined with a complete loading dock signal kit, it contributes to a fully integrated and efficient safety infrastructure.
3. For the installer: fast and safe wiring
Standard power supply: 230 Vac operation, ideal for integration into pre-existing industrial electrical panels.
Dedicated terminal block: Clear connection diagram for phase, neutral, and traffic light outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the emergency state work on the ASFSW230?
In case of need, by pressing the mushroom button, the system activates the emergency state across the entire plant. Both the ASFSW230 selector inside the warehouse and the external traffic light turn red to signal an immediate stop.
Is it possible to know from the inside if the external traffic light is green?
Certainly. The ASFSW230 is equipped with integrated traffic lights (red and green) that act as an internal signal.
Internal RED light: indicates the external light is GREEN (Driver can maneuver, personnel stay away).
Internal GREEN light: indicates the external light is RED (Vehicle is stationary, safe to load/unload).
Can the selector handle 230V traffic lights?
Yes, the ASFSW230 is designed to manage 230V traffic light outputs with common, red, and green lights.
