5 Intended use
The safety rope emergency stop switch is used to detect safety-related switching states.
The safety rope emergency stop switch is used
• to secure vast hazardous areas.
• in places where housings or covers are not possible.
Typical application areas:
- conveyors
- rotating machines
- vast hazardous areas
Application area ZB0074
- Adhere to the remarks for safe use in hazardous areas in the enclosed ATEX operating instructions.
5.1 Safety-related requirements
It must be ensured that the safety requirements of the respective application correspond to the requirements stated in these instructions.
Observe the following requirements:
▶ Adhere to the specified operating conditions ( → Technical data).
▶ In case of faults within the device which result in the defined safe state:
Take measures to maintain the safe state when the complete control system continues to be operated.
With appropriate operation, the safety rope emergency stop switch can be used in applications up to performance level e according to ISO 13849-1, depending on the system architecture.
Installation must be in accordance with EN 13850.
If an AS-i network is controlling a machine with potentially dangerous movements and EN 60204-1 applies, a special insulation monitoring device must also be installed.
The device meets the requirements of EN ISO 13850, IEC / EN 60947-5-1 and IEC / EN 60947-5-5.

The wiring influences the achievable control category.
The requirements for external wiring and the selection of the connected switching contacts refer to the functionality to be accomplished and to the required control category (DIN EN ISO 13849-1 or EN 62061).
The control category is either determined by means of a risk analysis (e.g. to DIN EN ISO 12100) or taken from a C standard.
The control category or SIL level of the safe evaluation unit must at least correspond to the control category or SIL level necessary for the application.

Depending on the safety components used the complete safety system can also be classified for a lower control category.
▶ Characteristic safety values of other components, especially of the safe evaluation unit, can be found in the corresponding documentation.
5.2 IT safety
By default, the device is not intended for direct connection to IT systems. If this application is required, the users have to implement it (e.g. by using their own additional components).

Rope status indication

Fig. 1: Indication with properly set steel rope
8 Function description
Pulling the tensioned rope, rope breakage or impact on the E-STOP cause activation of the switching function of the safety rope emergency stop switch.
A window on the device (rope status indication) shows the correct rope tension and facilitates adjustment, troubleshooting and maintenance.
After activation of the E-STOP function a clip mechanism maintains the E-STOP command until it is unlocked manually by pressing the blue reset button.
▶ Before resetting the E-STOP signal the cause of the activation has to be determined.
Reset is only possible with correct rope tension (position indication in middle position).
The max. rope length also depends on the change of the ambient temperature.


Maintenance requirement
Monthly:
Check the proper functioning of the system at various points along the rope length.
Check the setting of the nominal rope tension and retighten the rope if necessary.
Every six months:
Disconnect the device from the voltage supply and remove the cover. Check that the screw terminals are tight and tighten them if necessary.
Check the device for moisture penetration.

▶ Replace damaged or faulty devices. Repair is not permissible.
9 Installation
The device is mounted using four M5 screws. Any installation position is possible.
To ensure protection rating IP67, the following tightening torques must be observed:
- fixing screws 4 Nm
• cover screws (Lid T20 Torx M4) 1.5 Nm
▶ Only use seals of the correct size for the cable entry and the external diameter of the cable.
The maximum vertical pull force on the rope pull is 130 N until activation, the max. travel 300 mm.
▶ Enough space has to be provided so that the required actuation travel can be reached.
▶ Eye bolts have to be installed between the switches across the whole length of the rope at a distance of min. 2.5 m to max. 3 m.
▶ The first eye bolt must be mounted at a distance of max. 500 mm of the switch eye bolt or the tension spring (if it is used).

▷ Do not use the first 500 mm as part of the active protected area (E-STOP triggering).

| 3: | Trigger e-stop → pull rope |
![]() | Eye bolt |
![]() | Clamping system |
![]() | Tension spring |
The tension of the rope is obtained by rope tensioner systems.
▶ After installation, set the tension to the middle position.
▷ The tension is indicated by the green arrows in the window of the individual switches.
▶ Check the function of all switches and the control circuits.
▶ To do so, pull on the rope at various points in the active protected area.
▶ Then reset the individual switches by pressing the blue reset button.
▶ Ensure that the switches lock into place.
▶ Reset the switches manually by pressing the blue button.
▶ If necessary, increase the rope tension until the tests along the active length of the area are satisfactory.
The switches are equipped with a red, mushroom-shaped E-STOP button.
▶ Check and reset the individual E-STOP switches to ensure proper operation of the control circuits.
The typical operating conditions for a successful operation of the safety rope emergency stop system are:
• max. 75 N pull force
• and max. 150 mm bending of the rope between the eye bolts for rope support

Rope pull systems with single direction safety rope emergency stop switches are influenced by fluctuations of the ambient temperature.
▷ To ensure proper function of the rope pull system it is mandatory to take into account the dependence on the temperature when fixing the rope length and distance of the eye bolts (every 3 m).

Installation temperature T [°C] ± X [°C] = maximum permissible rope length L [m]
10 Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician.
▶ Observe the national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment.
▶ Wiring is only possible if the device is disconnected from power.

12 Approvals / standards
Information on UL 508:
Type 1 housing.
Use copper wires 16 - 12 AWG with a nominal temperature of at least 90 °C.
Use the same polarity for a multiple connection line.
Electrical data:
• 240V AC / 3A (6000 cycles) A300
• 120V / 60A switching element 6A
• Shutdown PF > 0.38 (100,000 cycles)
• 240V / 10A carry only
Wire cross section: 16AWG - 12AWG copper; tightening torque 0.8 Nm (7lb/in).
Operate LED only with LVLC or Class 2.
If necessary, there is a connection terminal for grounding in the housing.
Notes for AS4024.3610 conveyor belts
Information with regard to AS4024.1-2014:
1) Vertical forces to operate the switches midway between the eyebolts → support: check <70N; rope deflection <300 mm
2) Axial forces - directly along the rope axis: <230 N (typically 125 N).
Typical parameters for successful operation of a system is less than 70 N pull force with less than 150 mm deflection of rope between the eyebolt supports.
This can normally be achieved with switches set to the central position between the green arrows in the viewing window.
If required, depending on the necessary checks along the active rope length, the tension can be increased further beyond the central position to ensure a tripping pull force of less than 70N.
