Configuration and Operation
Emergency-stop (E-stop) Function
The RMP provides an E-Stop switch that will cause the RMP to turn off if the
switch is opened.
The E-Stop function is activated when the red tether pulls the clip off the switch on the RMP User
Interface. It is important to verify this functionality prior to using your RMP. The reasons are
twofold:
•
The E-stop function must work properly for your safety.
•
Once the E-stop switch is opened, the RMP will no longer balance. You should become
familiar with how it may fall so you can make good decisions when utilizing the E-stop.
The preferred method of attachment of the E-stop clip is a tether. This method allows an operator
to activate the E-stop without having to make contact with the hardware, which may be moving at
some speed.
Additional E-stop modalities such as a push button or remote controlled relay may be
implemented in series with the delivered E-stop lanyard switch.
It is important to remember that a disabled RMP will fall over
or roll freely.
