Only if the information described in this operating instruc-
tions manual are realised correctly, the safety function and
therefore the compliance with the Machinery Directive and
the Explosion Protection Directive is maintained.
2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Purpose
The emergency stop switch meets the requirements of EN ISO 13850,
IEC/EN 60947-5-1 and IEC/EN 60947-5-5. Pull-wire emergency stop
switches are used on machinery and plants in explosion-endangered
areas of Zone 22 equipment category 3D, where triggering the
emergency stop command must be enabled at arbitrary points on
the wire run. The installation and maintenance requirements to the
standard series EN 60079 must be met.
If the tensioned pull-wire is pulled or in case of wire breakage, the
switching function of the pull-wire emergency stop switch is activated.

2.4 Design/operating principle
The pull-wire emergency stop switches are brought into the operational
condition by the proper pre-tensioning of the wire. Up to two switching
elements located on the inside of the switch have either 2 or 4 contacts,
whereby the NC contacts are closed and the NO contacts are opened
in tensioned condition.
After actuation of the emergency stop function, a latching mechanism
maintains the stop command until the switch is released by pushing
the blue reset button. Prior to the reset of the emergency stop signal,
the reason why the switch has been actuated must be determined. The
switch can only be reset if the switch is correctly pre-tensioned (position
indication in central position, refer to image 1).
The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety
component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant
standards.
Conditions for safe operation
The specific ambient temperature range must be observed. The user
must provide for a protection against the permanent influence of UV
rays.
