Tension Indicator
Indicator shown with steel rope properly adjusted.
1. Installation of all Safety Rope Switch systems must be in accordance with a risk assessment for the
individual application. Installation must only be carried out by competent personnel and in accordance
with these instructions.
2. Rope support eyebolts must be fitted at 2.5m. min. to 3m. max. intervals along all rope lengths
between switches. The rope must be supported no more than 500mm from the switch eyebolt or Safety
Spring (if used). It is important that this first 500mm is not used as part of the active protection coverage.
3. M5 mounting bolts must be used to fix the switches. Tightening torque for mounting bolts to ensure
reliable fixing is 4Nm. Tightening torque for the lid screws, conduit entry plugs and cable glands must be
1.5Nm to ensure IP seal. Only use correct sizing glands for conduit entry and cable outside diameter.
Exclusion of Liability Under the Following Circumstances
- incorrect use
- non-compliance with safety regulations
- installation and electrical connection not performed by authorized
personnel.
- failure to perform functional checks.

Operating Instructions for ER5018, ER6022, ER1022 & ER1032
4. Tensioning of rope is achieved by use of tensioner / gripper assemblies. Upon installation, tension to mid-position as indicated by the red arrows in the viewing
window of each switch. Check operation for all switches and the control circuits by puling the rope at various locations along the active protection area and resetting each
switch by depressing the Blue Reset button. Ensure each time that the switches latch off and require manual resetting by depressing the Blue Reset button. Increase the
system tension further, if required, depending upon the checks along the active length of coverage. If fitted with a Mushroom type E-Stop button (Red) then test and reset
each switch to ensure function of control circuits. Typical operational conditions for successful operation of system is less than 75N. pulling force and less than 150mm
deflection of rope between eyebolt supports.
5. Every week: Check correct operation of system at locations along all coverage length. Check for nominal tension setting, re-tension rope if necessary. Every 6
months: Isolate power and remove cover. Check screw terminal tightness and check for signs of moisture ingress. Never attempt to repair any switch.
