The safety stop cord type and/or the safety arch with chest belt system and stop-function limits the range of motion of
the subject to the front 70% of the running deck length if adjusted properly. The actuator cord should have a suitable
length so that the actuator releases at a position not more than 70% of the length of the running surface. In case the
subject cannot maintain the speed and falls behind to the rear 30% of the running deck length, or in case the subject
falls, the safety stop cord type and/or the safety arch with chest belt system will trigger a stop function of the treadmill
and will stop the running belt.
Caution!
The pull cord safety stop actuator cannot prevent the subject from falling and is therefore not as safe as the
safety arch with chest belt system and fall prevention or the unweighting system!
The big and highly visible emergency stop button is standard on all models and is placed on the handrail or
UserTerminal for easy access. An additional emergency stop button can be retro-fitted at all h/p/cosmos running
machines. It can, for example, be duplicated on the opposite handrail.
h/p/cosmos conforms with the norm EN 957-6: “The push-button type or pull cord safety stop actuator shall be in a
reachable position in front of the user and in an area of ± 180 mm parallel to the centre line of the running surface. If the
push-button type safety stop actuator is outside this area, it shall be duplicated on the opposite side except when a pull-
cord actuator is provided.”
h/p/cosmos can supply a second and additional emergency stop button and/or pull cord safety stop actuator and/or a
safety arch with chest belt system fall stop function.
On all medical treadmills the emergency stop push button is simultaneously an emergency off button. That means by
pushing this button the power supply of the device is cut off.
Fall prevention system: safety arch with chest belt
system and stop.
h/p/cosmos arm support with integrated additional
keyboard and integrated additional stop button.
h/p/cosmos airwalk unweighting systems for body weight support, can also be used as fall prevention system.
Emergency stop button on the UserTerminal. Triggers
bi-polar disconnection from the mains (power supply).
Additional emergency stop push button can be
mounted on the opposite handrail of the treadmill.
