MR387 Fiber Optic Emergency Stop Switch Figure 1. MR387 Emergency Stop Switch with MR380-1-3 Controller The MR387 Fiber Optic Emergency Stop Switch paired with MR380-1-3 Controller provides a new, innovative emergency signaling detection that can be deployed in hazardous environments and over very long distances.
MR386 Fiber Optic Microswitch Figure 3. MR386 Microswitch with MR380-1-3 Controller The MR386 Fiber Optic Microswitch paired with the MR380-1-3 Controller provides a new, innovative signaling detection that can be deployed in difficult, hazardous environments and over very long distances. The Microswitch employs a photo interrupt scheme operating over a duplex 62.5/125μm fiber optic link that allows for reliable signal detection.
MR380-1-3 Instruction Manual There are two switch materials. The completely non–metallic version is designed to operate within an MRI environment where high magnetic fields would interfere with any electronic switch. The switch may be safely used within the MRI bore because it is immune to the magnetic field as well as invisible to the imaging process.
MR380-1-3 Instruction Manual 2. Standard Contents MR380-1-3 Controller Module: • MR380-1-3 Controller Module • Phoenix Terminal Block (1879599) inserted as part of unit • Instruction Manual (this document, one soft copy supplied with each shipment) MR387 series Sensor: • MR387 sensor (confirm pigtail and/or connector interface as ordered)
The controller unit mounts on DIN rails as well as a single mounting clip. Both mounting schemes are shown below in Figure 4. Figure 4. MR380-1-3 Mounting Options: DIN Rail Mount versus Chassis Mount Connecting the MR380-1-3 Controller Module An LC Duplex optical cable is used to interconnect the sensor and controller. The sensor incorporates a 3m optical pigtail (or alternate length as specified by customer).

OPEN CLOSED The table above depicts the pinouts for the MR380-1-3 controller, and the state of each terminal when an E-stop switch is on or off. For powering the controller, +24 VDC is supplied to terminal 1 and grounded using terminal 2. For typical E-stop operation, connect to terminals 5 and 6 or terminals 8 and 9.
MR380-1-3 Instruction Manual 3.4.2. MR380-1-3 and MR387 E-Stop System Start-Up & Performance Check Connect +24VDC supply and ground to the designated terminals on the controller module. Verify that the ‘POWER’ LED (green) is illuminated. If the E-Stop Switch is not connected, do so at this time and verify that the ‘EMERGENCY ON’...

(62.5µm core) to OM2 fiber (50µm core) produces a loss of approximately 1.2dB, which is not a problem in most situations. In the MR380-1-3 controller, the transmit fiber is OS1 9/125µm single mode fiber. Since the core of the fiber is smaller than any other standard fiber, no losses are produced at this connection, no matter which standard fiber the rest of the system uses.
Controller Figure 10. Block Diagram for a MR380-1-3 Controller System The light source power is held constant under normal operating conditions allowing for a known system loss budget when designing a system. Additionally, the optics within the switch are designed to couple maximum light back into the receive fiber enabling the ability to create long distance systems and chain multiple switches.
8. Application Notes Determining System Loss Budget when Chaining Multiple Switches The MR380-1-3 controllers have the capacity to chain multiple switches in series, permitted that the additional losses fall within the optical system loss budget. Figure 11 illustrates a system using three MR387 switches in series.
Figure 12 demonstrates a system with one E-stop and two controllers, each with DPDT relay contacts, with an arbitrary distance between them. Figure 12. Example System With One MR387 E-Stop Triggering Two Remote MR380-1-3 Controllers Page 22 of 29...
