  • Page 3: Correct Use

    Operating Instructions Rope Pull Switches RPS… 1. Correct use According to EN 60947-5-5 and EN ISO 13850, rope pull switches can be used to initiate an emergency stop function in order to avoid existing or impending hazard situations. The following applicable standards must be taken into account for this purpose: Regulations on installation and operation: Ì...
  • Page 4: Function

    Operating Instructions Rope Pull Switches RPS… 3. Function The system consists of the switching device, a red pull rope, support points and a counterspring. The pull device of the rope pull switch is connected with a pull rope. The emergency stop function can be tripped by pulling this rope.
  • Page 5: Safety Precautions

    Operating Instructions Rope Pull Switches RPS… Safety precautions Ì All system components must be mounted on surfaces that can reliably withstand all the forces that may occur. Ì Routing the rope as straight as possible results in low frictional forces in the system. From a system length of 25 m, only rope pulley blocks may be used as rope supports.

  • Page 8: Mounting

    Operating Instructions Rope Pull Switches RPS… 7. Mounting NOTICE Ì Under ideal installation conditions it is possible to achieve a maximum rope length of 75 m. Ì Depending on the actual situation, there may be increased friction in the system. This friction may be so high that automatic resetting is no longer possible as described above.
  • Page 9: Selection Of System Components

    This is a precondition for direction-independent activation at any point along the rope length. In order to achieve fast and simple compliance with this requirement, we recommend the use of EUCHNER tensioner springs with integrated overstretch protection (see Table 1). Additional fixing and installation materials as well as ropes are also optionally available.

  • Page 14: Connection Example

    The following connection example shows a possible circuit structure with redundant design at the cable level as well. The signals of the emergency stop chain are evaluated by a safety relay (ESM from EUCHNER). The overall control concept into which the rope pull switch RPS is integrated must be evaluated by the end consumer/ machine designer in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
