Datasheet

Rope pull switch with an emergency stop button for indoor or outdoor use

• Both safety contacts latch open when rope is pulled, broken, or if

tension is reduced; requires manual reset (IEC 60947-5-5)

• Aluminum die-cast housing, rated IP67 and NEMA 4, suitable for

demanding indoor and outdoor industrial environments

• Innovative RP-RM83F-..LT.. design provides quick, easy rope

adjustment

• Rope spans up to 75 m (245 ft), depending on model

• Both safety contacts are closed with normal rope tension, and open

when rope is pulled or if rope breaks (or if tension is reduced from

normal amount)

• Both Monitoring contacts operate opposite the safety contacts for

monitoring by another device

• Additional Aux. 24V solid-state PNP output on some models provides

remote rope tension monitoring

• Tension indicator window indicates proper rope tension for operation or

safety contacts latched open (the rope pull or the E-stop button is

actuated)

RP-RM83F Heavy-Duty Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches Important... Read This First Regarding the Use of Rope Pull Switches. In the United States, the functions that Banner rope pull switches are intended to perform are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Whether or not any particular rope pull switch installation meets all applicable OSHA requirements depends upon factors that are beyond the control of Banner Engineering Corp.

RP-RM83F Heavy-Duty Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches WARNING: Not a Safeguarding Device An Emergency Stop Device is not considered a safeguarding device because it requires an overt action by an individual to stop machine motion or hazards. A safeguarding device limits or eliminates an individual's exposure to a hazard without action by the individual or others.

RP-RM83F Heavy-Duty Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches WARNING: Failure to use pulleys or eye bolts to support the wire rope can result in damage to the switch and may create a dangerous situation that could lead to serious injury or death. Installation Procedure 1. Mount the switch securely on a solid stationary surface. 2. Fasten an eye bolt at the opposite end of the rope span from the switch.

RP-RM83F Heavy-Duty Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches Tensioning the Rope After the rope span components are installed, apply tension to the rope until the arrows in the tensioning indicator are centered on the line in the tension indicator window. This indicates sufficient rope tension. (Contacts 11/12 will close.) 1. For models RP-RM83F-..LT and RP-RM83F-..LTE: Turn the external turnbuckle until the arrows are centered. For models RP-RM83F-..LR and RP-RM83F-..

RP-RM83F Heavy-Duty Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches Wiring These switch models have redundant pairs of safety contacts, so they may be wired for either single-channel or dualchannel output to a safety module or E-stop circuit. Monitor contacts may be wired as desired to an external alarm device. CAUTION: Proper Wiring. Maximum tightening torque of contact screws is specified at 0.8 Nm; do not over-tighten. Before closing the front cover, verify no wires are trapped.
