these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Purpose
Pull-wire emergency stop switches are used on machinery and plants,
where triggering the emergency stop command must be enabled at
arbitrary points on the wire run. If the tensioned pull-wire is pulled or
in case of wire breakage or if the optional emergency stop switch is
pushed, the switching function of the pull-wire emergency stop switch is
activated (refer to image 1).

Design/operating principle
The pull-wire emergency stop switches of the ZQ 900 series 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 ZQ 900-FB is for use in combination with the safety field box SFB
made by Schmersal.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level.
The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety
component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant
standards.
