E-Stop Switch Requirements (Positive-Opening)

As shown in Figure 7-8, the E-stop switch must provide two

contact pairs, which are closed when the switch is in the

“armed” position. Once activated, the E-stop switch must open

its contacts and return to the closed-contact position only after

deliberate action (such as twisting, pulling, or unlocking). The

switch should be a “positive-opening type,” as described by

IEC947-5-1. A mechanical force applied to such a button (or

switch) is transmitted directly to the contacts, forcing them

open. This ensures that the switch contacts will open whenever

the switch is activated. ANSI/NFPA 79 specifies the following

additional requirements:
• Emergency Stop push buttons shall be located at each

operator control station and at other operating stations where

emergency shutdown shall be required.

• Stop and Emergency Stop push buttons shall be continuously

operable from all control and operating stations where located.

• Actuators of Emergency Stop devices shall be colored Red.

The background immediately around the device actuator shall

be colored Yellow. The actuator of a push-button-operated

device shall be of the palm or mushroom-head type.

• The Emergency Stop actuator shall be a self-latching type.
NOTE: Some applications may have additional requirements.

The user must comply with all relevant regulations.

WARNING . . .

Reset Routine Required

U.S. and international standards require that a reset routine be
performed after returning the E-stop switch to its closed-contact
position (when arming the E-stop switch). When automatic reset is
used, an alternate means must be established to require a reset
routine, after the E-stop switch is armed. Allowing the machine
to restart as soon as the E-stop switch is armed creates an
unsafe condition which could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING . . .

Multiple E-Stop Switches

• Whenever two or more E-stop switches are connected

to the same EZ-SCREEN LP receiver, the contacts of the
E-stop switches must be connected together in series. This series
combination is then wired to the respective EZ-SCREEN LP
receiver input.

Never connect the contacts of multiple E-stop switches in

parallel to the EZ-SCREEN LP inputs; this defeats the switch
contact monitoring ability of the EZ-SCREEN LP light curtain,
and creates an unsafe condition which could result in
serious bodily injury or death.

Also, when two or more E-stop switches are used, each

switch must be individually actuated (engaged), then
re-armed and the EZ-SCREEN LP light curtain reset
(if using
latch mode). This allows the monitoring circuits to check each
switch and its wiring to detect faults. Failure to test each switch
individually in this manner could result in undetected faults
and create an unsafe condition which could result in serious
bodily injury or death.
