2 NC contacts

Only if the information described in this operating instructions 
manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefo-
re the compliance with the Machinery Directive is maintained.

2.2  Special versions

For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1, 
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to 
the standard version.

2.3  Destination and use

Pull-wire emergency stop switches are used on machinery and plants, 
where triggering the emergency stop command must be enabled at 
arbitrary points on the wire run. If the tensioned pull-wire is pulled or in 
case of wire breakage, the switching function of the pull-wire emergen-
cy stop switch is activated. (refer to image 1)

Design/operating principle

 
The pull-wire emergency stop switches of the ZQ 700 series are 
brought into the operational condition by the proper pre-tensioning of a 
maximum 10 m long wire. The inner switching element has 2 contacts; 
in a tensioned condition, the NC contacts are closed and the NO con-
tacts are open.

After actuation of the emergency stop function, a latching mechanism 
maintains the stop command until the switch is released by pushing the 
blue reset button.
Prior to the reset of the emergency stop signal, the reason why the 
switch has been actuated must be determined. The switch can only 
be reset if the switch is correctly pre-tensioned (position indication in 
central position, refer to image 1). 

The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety 
component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant 
standards.

3.  Mounting

3.1  General mounting instructions

The installation may only be carried out by authorised personnel. The 
pull-wire emergency stop switch is fitted by means of four screws (dis-
tance of the drill holes 30 mm or 60 mm), so that a release by hand can 
be enabled without hazard. The component must be fitted so that the 
entire length of the wire can be viewed from the position of the switch.

In accordance with IEC/EN 60947-5-5, the maximum perpendicular trac-
tion force to be exercised on the wire in order to activate the emergency 
pull-wire switch is 200 N, the maximum deflection is 400 mm. Sufficient 
space must be provided so that the required actuating deflection can be 
reached.
