1. Installation of all Safety Rope Switch systems must be in accordance with a risk assessment for the individual application. Installation must only be carried out by
competent personnel and in accordance with these instructions.
2. Rope support eyebolts must be fitted at 2.5m. min. to 3m. max. intervals along all rope lengths between switches. The rope must be supported no more than 500mm
from the switch eyebolt or Safety Spring (if used). It is important that this first 500mm is not used as part of the active protection coverage.
3. M5 mounting bolts must be used to fix the switches. Tightening torque for mounting bolts to ensure reliable fixing is 4Nm. Tightening torque for the lid screws,
conduit entry plugs and cable glands must be 1.5Nm to ensure IP seal. Only use correct sizing glands for conduit entry and cable outside diameter.
4. Tensioning of rope is achieved by use of tensioner / gripper assemblies. Upon installation, tension to mid-position as indicated by the red arrows in the viewing
window of each switch. Check operation for all switches and the control circuits by puling the rope at various locations along the active protection area and resetting
each switch by depressing the Blue Reset button. Ensure each time that the switches latch off and require manual resetting by depressing the Blue Reset button.
Increase the system tension further, if required, depending upon the checks along the active length of coverage. If fitted with a Mushroom type E-Stop button (Red) then
test and reset each switch to ensure function of control circuits. Typical operational conditions for successful operation of system is less than 75N. pulling force and less
than 150mm deflection of rope between eyebolt supports.
5. Every week: Check correct operation of system at locations along all coverage length. Check for nominal tension setting, re-tension rope if necessary. Every 6
months: Isolate power and remove cover. Check screw terminal tightness and check for signs of moisture ingress. Never attempt to repair any switch.
