Safe operation

New e-stops of the Shortron connect series

The e-stop FRVKDOO_C113 from SCHLEGEL offers more safety due to its additional illuminated indicator. As in every "connect" sub-series, the new pushbuttons and e-stops are equipped with a M12 connector.

The e-stop FRVKDOO_C113 with additional active/inactive indicator is designed for modular units or applications. Once the e-stop is active, the head is illuminated in red - as required by the safety standard EN ISO 13850. This ensures that the e-stop is recognised as such and can be found and operated in an emergency to put the machine or production line module in a safe mode.

When the machine or production line module is not active, the inactive e-stop is not illuminated. Because of the grey colour, the e-stop is not recognised as such and therefore, an inadvertent operation is being significantly reduced.

With the active/inactive e-stop with status indication, there is no requirement to remove or cover inactive mobile plants or machines anymore, which has been the case with regular non-illuminated e-stops.

The e-stop is also available as a version without a series resistor (FRVKDOO_R0_C113). Both versions have 2 NC contacts and an A-coded, 5-pole M12 connector. The rated operating voltage is 24V AC/DC and the rated operating current is 2A AC/DC.

All our "connect" sub-series have an integrated M12 connector which bases on the quick and easy plug&play principle. This saves time and costs, as no professionals are required for installation.
