The IDEM GLS-Ex safety rope pull switch has 2NC/2NO contact configuration. It is designed to be mounted on machines and sections of conveyors which cannot be protected by guards and unlike emergency stop pushbuttons. This can be activated from any point along the length of the rope pull to provide robust emergency stop protection. In combination with a dual-channel safety-monitoring relay, this safety rope switch can be used as an emergency stop device and monitored. This product has a guardian line, which has a positive mechanical linkage between the switch contacts and the wire rope of 80m, as well as wire breakage monitoring. Once the rope is pulled, anywhere along its length, the safety contacts are positively opened and the auxiliary contacts are closed. This switches are mechanically latched and can only be returned to the operational condition by pressing the blue reset button. The switch has an electrical current rating of 2.5A at a voltage rating of 250VAC/VDC.
