Rope safety switches with reset for emergency stop Description and technical data hese rope operated safety switches are installed on machines or conveyor belts, to activate the emergency stop of the machine on every hand intervention over the rope. hey allow cost savings on machines of medium-large size, where normally many emergency stop push buttons have to be used. Provided with self-control function, they check constantly their correct working operation, signalling with the opening of the contacts an eventual loosening or break-out of the rope. hese safety switches keep the contacts open after their activation till the reset push button is manually pulled. Markings and quality marks: Standards abstracts N 418 point 4.1.11 very action on the actuator that causes the intervention of the signal emergency stop must cause the mechanical block of the control device as well.... N 418 point 4.5.2 (requirements referring to ropes, when used as actuators) In case of break or disconnection of a rope, the emergency stop signal must be automatically generated.

Assembling instructions 1,5 2 Nm Cable gland IP 3 4 Nm Fix the switch to the machine frame. Insert the cable into the thimble of the switch and fix the clamps. Insert the cable into the stay bolt and fix the clamps. Stretch the rope connected. to the switch, until the end of the indicator (1) reaches about the middle of the green ring (2). Pull the knob (3) in order to close the safety contacts inside the switch. Below the knob a green ring (4) will disclosure. Wire the contact blocks and close the cover of the switch.

Check the operation of the rope switch before you start the machine. Attention! Before setting up the machine and time by time, verify the correct working of the switch. Check that any time rope is activated by pulling it or cutting it the machine stop immediately. 13. 03 Copyright Pizzato lettrica General Catalog 17 Chapter 13. page 8
