1.1. MR387 Fiber Optic Emergency Stop Switch Figure 1. MR387 Series Fiber Optic Emergency Switch & MR380-1 Controller The MR387 Emergency Stop Switch paired with MR380-1 series Controller provides a new, innovative emergency signaling detection that can be deployed in hazardous environments and over very long distances.
MR380-1 Series Instruction Manual The E-Actuator is also sometimes referred to as a Reverse E-Stop. Optically, the MR381 E-Actuator works in an opposite manner than the MR387 E-Stop. An activated E-Stop breaks the optical circuit while an activated E-Actuator closes the circuit. In this way, the emergency actuation event cannot be accidentally tripped, even in case of a system failure such as: a broken fiber, fiber disconnected or loss of power to the controller unit.
Universal DIN Rail Mountable Controller, works with both 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber links • Single mode Controller option available 1.6.

MR380-1 Series Instruction Manual 7. Theory of Operation A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 16, showing the Switch Sensor, Optical Link and Controller Module. The switch is connected by a duplex fiber optic cable of readily available 50/125µm, 62.5/125µm multi-mode fiber and 9/125 µm single mode fiber. The transmit fiber guides steady optical power from a near-IR light source to the optical switch.
MR380-1 Series Instruction Manual 8. Application Notes 8.1. Determining System Loss Budget For Chaining Multiple Switches The MR380-1 controllers have the capacity to chain multiple switches in series permitting that the additional losses fall within the system optical loss budget. Figure 17 illustrates a system using three MR387-2 switches in series.
