These devices Painted Aluminum Stainless Steel Material Painted Zinc Alloy use a steel wire rope connected to latching pull switches so that Alloy 316 pulling on the rope in any direction at any point along its length will Reset Yes Yes Yes trip the switch to cut off the machine power. E-Stop No Yes Yes 75 m (246 ft) Cable Span 30 m (98.42 ft) 125 m (410 ft) 75 m (246 ft) extended model Typical Applications The cable pull switches must detect both a pull on the cable as well as when the cable goes slack. Slack detection ensures that the cable is not cut and is ready for use. Rockwell Automation developed a unique Lifeline Rope Tensioner System (LRTS) which helps enable quicker installations. A dedicated stainless steel installation kit must be used with the stainless steel Lifeline 4 instead of the LRTS. Mounting Specifications for Extended Length Models Lifeline 4 Cable Grips Steel Cable Tensioner Tensioner P. Bolts E-Stop Button Reset Knob 300mm 2-3m Tension (11.81in) (6.5-9ft) 75-125m (246-410ft) Indicator Notes: 1. The first and last P. bolt/eye bolt must be located as close as possible to the switch eyelet while maintaining adequate clearance (125 mm/5 in) from the cable grips to allow free movement. This provides for a straight and efficient pulling action on the switches. 2. Additional P. bolts/eye bolts, spaced 2-3 m (6-9 ft) apart, help keep the perpendicular pull force, F, and distance, d, within IEC60947-5-5 specifications of 200 N (45 lbs) and 400 mm (15.75 in). 3. We recommend using a switch at both cable ends, especially in applications with long cable runs or cable runs going around bends. This helps ensure that the safety function is fulfilled upon actuation of the cable in any direction. 4. ISO 13850 requires that the full length of cable to be within view when the reset is turned to the run position or the machine must be inspected over the whole length of the cable, both before and after resetting. 5. On shorter cable runs (max 10 m), a Lifeline tensioner spring may be used at one end of the span. The installation must be such that the above requirements can be met. When a spring is used, the last P. Bolt/eye bolt must be located as close as possible to the spring while maintaining adequate clearance (125 mm/5 in) from the cable grips to allow free movement. This is intended to help to ensure that a pull near the end of the cable will be between P. Bolts/eye bolts. This should result in operation of the switch contacts instead of only the spring moving. 6. Careful attention is required for the design of the installation to ensure that the cable is not likely to become trapped or snagged. This is especially important when using a tensioner spring because a cable snag between the location of the pull and the switch could prevent the actuation of the safety function. 7. It is essential that when the installation is complete, a thorough functional test is made. This should include checking all types and directions of pull over the length of the cable as well as checking for slack-cable tripping.
