Models RP-RM83F-.. are rope pull emergency stop switches in compact, heavy-duty die-cast aluminum
housings, for indoor or outdoor use. When used with steel wire rope, they can provide emergency stop
actuation along conveyors and similar machinery. Red PVC-covered 2, 3, 4, or 5 mm diameter wire rope is
recommended, depending on model (force) and rope distance (see Accessories).
The switches have redundant contacts; terminals 11/12 are positive opening when there is a cable-pull or
cable-brake situation. When used separately, these contacts provide inputs to a dual-channel safety module.
Terminals 11/12 can also be used individually to provide single-channel switching or as a single-channel
input to a safety module. Terminals 23/24 are for monitoring purposes only (closed in a cable-break/cable-pull
situation).
When the rope is properly tensioned (228 or 133N, depending on model), the red arrows are centered under
the hash mark on the tension indicator window, the contacts at terminals 11/12 are closed, and the contacts
at terminals 23/24 are open. All models feature “latching” operation. When the rope is pulled, the switch
contacts 11/12 open and remain open until the built-in E-stop/reset button is manually reset.
These rope pull emergency stop switches are not generally considered safeguarding devices, in that they do
not prevent or reduce exposure of individuals to a hazard. They provide the same function as other types of
emergency stop switches.

An Emergency Stop Device, including, but not limited to buttons, rope pulls and cable pulls, is not generally
considered a safeguard; and does not alone fulfill U.S. or International requirements for safeguarding hazards
associated with machinery. The definition of safeguarding is the "protective measure using safeguards [guards or
protective devices] to protect persons from the hazards which cannot reasonably be eliminated..." (ISO12100-1, 3.29
and 3.30).
A safeguard limits or eliminates an individual's exposure to a hazard (examples include interlocking devices,
safety mats, safety light screens). An emergency stop is considered to be a complementary protective
measure, which is neither an inherently safe design measure, nor safeguarding, but may be required as
part of the safety related control system and risk reduction strategy (ISO12100-2, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2).
Refer to the relevant standard(s) to determine the safeguarding requirements for your application.
