Emergency stop button
The built-in emergency stop button has two force guided normally closed contacts.
The emergency stop button shall initiate an emergency stop function, thereby removing
energy to the hazardous functions in the event of emergency.
The holders developed for this three-position device allow for the emergency stop
button to be pressed when the three-position device is placed in the holder.
LEDs integrated in the housing indicate the status of the emergency stop button.
Note on safe actuation
To allow for the emergency stop button to operate safely, we recommend using the holders designed for
this three-position device. See the accessories section.
Attention!
Caution should be exercised in relation to three-position devices that are connected, as standard, using a
connector. Be aware of the following items:
The correct function of the emergency stop must be check monthly!
The emergency stop function must always be functional and should have priority over all other functions
and operations in all operating modes of the machine without affecting any system intended to release
trapped persons.
No start command (whether intentional, unintentional or unexpected) should be able to affect working
processes that were stopped by initiating the emergency stop function until the emergency stop
function has been reset manually.
If it is possible to remove emergency stop buttons (e.g. portable programming devices) or shut down
sections of a machine, it must be ensured that operational and non-operational emergency stop
buttons are not mixed.
