Function
Pulling the tensioned rope, rope breakage or impact on the E-stop cause activation of
the switching function of the safety rope emergency stop switch.
There is a window on the switch via which the correct rope tension can be monitored
during setting and maintenance. Setting, troubleshooting and maintenance are made
much easier.
After activation of the E-stop function a latching mechanism maintains the E-stop
command until it is unlocked manually by pressing the blue reset button. Before
resetting the E-stop signal the cause of the activation has to be determined. Reset is
only possible with correct rope tension (position indication in middle position).
The max. rope length also depends on the change of the ambient temperature.
