(07/03/16)
Notes:
• The XN series emergency stop switch is an additional protective measure.
• Padlockable safety switches for door guards are also available from IDEC.
• Perform a risk assessment before using the XN series emergency stop switches.
• Operators must observe the rules in the work place in order to ensure safety by using emergency stop switches.
Residual risk such as failure to install padlocks on the emergency stop switches must be taken into consideration.
New Resetting Concept — Padlockable Emergency Stop Switches
Using hasps makes it possible to install a
maximum of 20 padlocks
(1,500g maximum in total).
Padlocks and hasps are not supplied by
IDEC with the XN series emergency stop
switches and must be ordered separately.
Safety Concept
OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor) requires that where the unexpected
energization or start-up of the machine or equipment or release of
stored energy could cause injury to operators, the machine or
equipment is stopped, isolated from all potentially hazardous
energy sources and locked out before employees perform any
servicing or maintenance.
ISO 12100-2: 2003 also requires that risks be reduced to the
lowest allowable level by taking protective measures in order of
inherently safe design, safeguarding, and complementary
protective measures. Locking out the energy isolation devices is
one of complementary protective measures.
Inspired by the lockout concept, IDEC’s XN series emergency stop
switches have been developed to prevent unauthorized reset of
the latched emergency stop switches.
Note:
OSHA 29CFR 1910.147 – The control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout)
ANSI Z244.1-2003 Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout/Tagout and Alternative
Methods
The padlocks used on XN series emergency stop switches are
NOT lockout devices.
New Resetting Concept
The padlockable emergency stop switches are also
push-to-lock, turn/pull-to-reset emergency stop switches.
Installing the padlock(s) on latched emergency stop switches
prevents unauthorized resetting.
