4 Installation

Installation of the rope and setting of the pull force are extremely simplified using the stainless steel rope tension kit. Just push the end of the rope through the holes on the rope tensioner and tighten with the Allen screw. Then set the correct pull force via the setting thread. Advantage: This setting is directly made on the safety rope e-stop switch so that the adjustment for the correct rope tension is directly indicated on the rope status display of the switch. Insert the free end of the rope into the intended clip.
