Figure 1. Run, rope pulled, and rope break switch positions
is not considered a safeguard or a safety
device because it requires an overt action
by an individual to stop machine motion. (A
safety device limits or eliminates an individual’s
exposure to a hazard, without action by the
individual or others.)
Because an individual must actuate the E-Stop
button or Rope Pull in order for it to function,
these devices do not fit the definition of a safety
device.
An Emergency Stop Device can not be
substituted for required safeguarding. Refer
to the relevant standards to determine those
requirements; see page 2.
Run Position: Proper Rope Tension
Rope Pulled: Contact 5–6 Opens
Rope Break or Slack: Contact 1–14 Opens

Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches –
Models RP-LM40D-6 and RP-LM40D-6L are rope pull emergency stop switches in
compact, limit switch-style housings. When used with steel wire rope, they can provide
emergency stop actuation along conveyors and similar machinery. Red PVC-covered
2 mm diameter wire rope, up to 6 m (20') long is recommended (see page 8).
When the rope is properly tensioned (using a turnbuckle), both contacts of the switch are
closed. When the rope is pulled, the positive-break contacts between terminals 25–26
open. If the rope breaks or goes slack, the contacts between terminals 13–14 open.
These two contacts typically should be wired together, in series. See Figure 1.
These rope pull emergency stop switches are not safeguarding devices, in that they
do not protect personnel from injury. They provide the same function as other types of
emergency stop switches.
The two switch models differ in their switching operation. Model RP-LM40D-6 is a
momentary switch, which returns immediately to the Run condition (i.e., both contacts
close) after releasing the rope, following a Pull condition; when using this model, a
separate latching circuit is required. Model RP-LM40D-6L latches contacts 25–26 open
with each Pull condition, and must be reset by pulling the integral reset button (see
Figure 2).
