The switch is a IP67 rated Fail Safe Anti Collision Switch or Emergency Stop Switch.
The switch body is made from High Impact UV Stabilised PBT / PC non corrosive material, which is
resistant to splash and spillage of most hydrocarbons, mild acids and strong alkali. All external steel
fittings are 316 Stainless Steel. The is activated by pulling the Wire Rope in any
direction or the Wire being cut or removed. The Wire Rope can be up to 50m long, depending on the
application. The has a removable Socket assembly, so if the Wire is pulled too far,
then the Socket comes off leaving the Switch in a safe and unbroken condition. The
Socket assembly has a Tether Point for easy Wire retrieval and Socket resetting.
The is designed to be Fail Safe.

It will trip when: 1. The wire is pulled 3. The wire is over tensioned
2. The wire is cut or removed 4. A manual trip via the Reset Knob
The Micro switches fitted are S.P.D.T. switches either Positive Break or Snap Action. The
can be used as an over height switch for vehicles, trains or used on a Stacker/Reclaimer

Product Information
The is a
product that is designed to be
PULL WIRE
used on any pull wire system CORNER
that needs the wire/rope to BRACKET
bend around any type of corner
with out becoming stuck, snagged
or pulls out like a standard pulley
may. A standard pulley is designed
mainly for yachts and straight pull
situations where the wire/rope is to be
pulled around the wheel not on an angle
to the wheels groove. When they are pulled
at an angle the wire/rope can become dislodged or
stuck in the housing as they aren’t designed for that type
of application.
The is designed specifically for this type of application, as the roller tube acts as
the pulley and the guides keep the wire/rope contained. When the wire/rope is pulled in a direction
that is not in line with the pulley roller the guides keep the wire/rope encapsulated so the wire/rope
can’t become stuck or dislodged. The long pulley tube stop the wire/rope from becoming stuck or
dislodged even if the wire/rope becomes slack. The mounting system is designed so that it is moveable
and can mounted to any angled corner or bend, so keeping the wire/rope in the direction that it is
intended to go.

Heavy Duty Float Switch
FT-1000 Range
The FT-1000 consists of a heavy duty polypropylene float double ble
e
moulded onto a high quality three core cable. The float contains a
single pole double throw switch, which can be used to give adjust- tt--
able control over the level of liquid in tanks, pits and dams. By carefulul
tethering of the cable the switch can be set to give an on or off action ion
at any desired position. The heavy duty switch can directly control small
mall pump
pu
ump
um
motors, and is also ideal for instrument or PLC signalling

WIRE LANYARD PULL ROPES:
How far can you go?
Calculating the maximum length of Pull Wire for a Lanyard Switch
Assuming a straight and level installation using a 3mm ID wire rope, the maximum length of Pull Wire
that can reliably be connected to each side of a Lanyard Switch, is determined by three criteria:
1. The annual temperature range.

2. The Pull Wire Switch “deadband” zone.
3. The rate of thermal expansion for the Pull Wire
Once these three things are known, a simple formula reveals the maximum length of 3mm wire rope
that can be used, so as to not vary in length by more than the Lanyard Switch can compensate for.
If this maximum length is exceeded, nuisance tripping is likely to occur, especially during extreme tem-
peratures or sudden temperature changes. This can mean that switches need seasonal re-adjustment
in Summer and Winter - a time consuming and costly exercise!
Minimum Winter Temperature (°C) =a

Maximum Summer Temperature (°C) =b
Annual Temperature variation (°C) = c (b - a)
Total Lanyard Deadband (mm) =d
Maximum possible cable length (m) = e (d *80) / C
Example 1:
A site with a 45°C annual temperature variation, using a Lanyard Switch with a 20mm deadband,
could not reliably use a Pull Wire length of more than 35m per side of the Lanyard Switch.
Example 2:
The same site using a Pull Wire Switch (installed as per the Instal-
lation instructions) which has a total deadband of 60mm, could reliably use up to 106m under the
same conditions.
Conclusion:
HFCYG flyer - Rev A
The use of a Lanyard Switch offers not only greater immunity from thermal expan-
sion and contraction trips, when set to the Mean Point of the temperature range of the site; but can
lower the cost and increase reliability of the Emergency Stop system, as less Switches are needed
to cover long distances.
NOTE: The formula at “e” works because it incorporates the thermal coefficient of expansion for steel pull wire
rope: 0.0000125 per degree Celsius. Calculations assume the use of a preferred 3mm plastic
coated pull wire.

Lanyard Rope (Calculating lengths)
WIRE LANYARD PULL ROPES:
How do they
Compare and
Work?
Wire Sizes:
3mm ID x 5mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope @ 0.049Kg per M
Electric Control Products (Part No STL-10-SS) 3mm ID x 5mm OD
6 x 19 Construction Red UV Stable Polyurethane coated 304 Stainless Steel Wire Rope
@0.052Kg per M
3.5mm ID x 5.5mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope @ 0.060 Kg per M
4mm ID x 6mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope @ 0.083Kg per M
QUESTION: Our Lanyard run is 80m, how does the wire size affect the workings and
parameters of the Lanyard Switch?
Over an 80m Lanyard run 3mm ID x 5mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope @ 0.049Kg per M
over 80m is 3.92Kg in weight.
Over an 80m Lanyard run Electric Control Products (Part No STL-10-SS) 3mm ID x 5mm
OD 6 x 19 Construction Red UV Stable Polyurethane coated 304 Stainless Steel Wire Rope @ 0.052Kg per M is
4.16Kg in weight.
Over an 80m Lanyard run 3.5mm ID x 5.5mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope @ 0.060 Kg
per M is 4.8Kg in weight.
Over an 80m Lanyard run 4mm ID x 6mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope @ 0.083Kg per M
is 6.64Kg in weight.
When a lanyard is pulled in either the slack wire operation or the 90 degree to the run operation, you need to pull
the weight of the wire and the tension of the springs at the remote end of the run and inside the switch to activate
a trip. If you use a 4mm ID x 6mm OD 6 x 7 Construction Blue PVC coated Wire Rope you are adding an extra
2.48Kg in wire weight to the recommended Electric Control Products wire size. So when you try to test the Switch
and Installation to the AS 1755 Standard in any direction you are needing to pull an extra 2.48Kg of weight plus
the extra friction caused by the extra weight if you are at either end of the switch or 1.24Kg of weight plus the extra
friction caused by the extra weight if you pull in the centre of the run. The extra weight and friction may cause
the Switch and Installation NOT to perform to the AS1755 Standards. Electric Control Products has tested their
Switch the using the recommended Electric Control Products 3mm ID x
5mm OD 6 x 19 Construction Red UV Stable Polyurethane coated 304 Stainless Steel Wire Rope and found it to
comply with the AS1755 Standards over a 100m lanyard run, when set up to Electric Control Products Installation
Instructions.
Now we have the right wire size the next thing is friction reduction.
Using Galvanised or Zinc plated Pig Tails or Eye Bolts cause extra friction plus premature wire wear, using a purpose
made rope guide like the R&D Technology Lanyard Wire Support(LWS) which is designed to reduce friction and wire wear
will increase the effectiveness of the workings of the switch thus improving the Kg pull to activate the switch.
At the end is the ongoing maintenance of the lanyard installation with a testing procedure being done every 3 – 4
months depending on the environment it is installed in.

Technical advice will be given at any time by Electric Control Products or Distributor on any of the Electric Control Product range.
Contact Electric Control Products or your local Distributor for this service.
Obsolete Products
Notification will be given to Distributors only for the products becoming obsolete and a time frame of when this will occur. Please
contact Distributors for this information.
The Obsolete product range will have spare parts for 12 months after becoming obsolete or until they run out, complete products
will be available for a short time after it has become obsolete.
Maintenance Procedure
All switches require minimal maintenance but as in AS 4024.1:1996 & AS 1755:2000 maintenance procedure
should be carried out.
Maintenance at 3 Month recommended intervals, or as per Applied Risk Assessment
1. Check that the switches are installed as per installation instructions.
2. Visual inspection of enclosure to ensure IP67 rating and correctly operating device. i.e. Damaged enclosure, bent pull rod,
damaged dust boot etc.
3. Inspect compensation springs (Overall relaxed size is 213mm +/- 10mm) 213mm
+/-10mm
4. Inspect all attachments are tight, free from obstructions and not worn and replace if necessary.
5. Inspect pull wire supports for wear, deteration and build up of material, replace if necessary.
6. Inspect pull wire for wear or deteration and replace if necessary.
7. Check that the pull rods are tensioned to the set position as per installation instructions.
8. Test that the Lanyard works as per Australian Standards AS1755-2000
Attach the or other weight measurement device to the pull wire via the rope or other
means (See Figure1). The test needs to be conducted along the axis of the pull wire in both directions. Pull the wire along the
axis until the switch trips then check the amount of force used to activate a trip. The reading must be less than 230N (23Kg).
This must be done at intervals at the centre of pull wire’s length, 3m-4m from the switch and 3m-4m from the compensation
spring in both directions (See Figure 1). After each trip the switch will need to be reset before the next axis trip test is to be
conducted. If the reading is higher than 230N then recheck steps 1-7, then retest the axis pull test. If the problem is still present
contact the supplier of the product for advice.

Reset the and attach the or other weight measurement device to the pull wire (See
Figure 2), 90 degrees to the pull wire axis. A length measurement needs to be taken as well. The test needs to be conducted 90
degrees to the pull wire’s axis at the same positions as test 1 and at the centre, between supports (See Figure 2). Pull the wire to
the 90 degree axis and using the or some other weight measurement device, measure the amount of force
it takes to trip the switch. Once the switch trips check to see how far the pull wire needs to be pulled to activate a trip using
a tape measure or ruler. The force used to activate a trip must not exceed 70N (7Kg) and the amount of pull must not exceed
300mm. If the readings are higher than 70N-300mm then recheck steps 1-7, retest the 90 degree axis pull test. If the problem
is still present contact the supplier of the product for advice.

BASIC GUIDE FOR CAT, PL’S and SIL SYSTEMS
CAT, PL and SIL’s are just measuring sticks for Functional Safety. They all measure in different measurements but all end up at the same level. Functional Safety is broken
down into two parts. Safety, this is freedom from unacceptable risk of physical injury or of damage to the health of people, either directly or indirectly as a result of damage
to property or to the environment. Functional Safety, is part of the overall safety that depends on a system or equipment operating correctly in response to its inputs. For Risk
example, a SAFE-T-PULL mounted on the side of a conveyor system that has guarding. The SAFE-T-PULL system is used to stop the conveyor in an emergency situation via
the mechanical components and electrical/electronic components. This is an instance of Functional Safety. Attaching mesh guarding to a conveyor is not Functional Safety but
is classed as Safety or “External Risk Reduction”.
The measuring stick is broken into four main sections, Concept & Scope, Analysis, Realisation and Operation. These sections are then broken down into smaller sections.

When looking at the Functional Safety of a Lanyard system, you need to apply it to the whole system (looking at the overall performance level) e.g. compensation springs, F2

Re: Safe-T-Pull Conveyor Lanyard Switch
Dear Sir,
You have requested that I provide an independent opinion regarding the approach Electric
Control Products has taken to assuring functional safety and machinery safety compliance of
their “Safe-T-Pull” conveyor lanyard switch.
You have informed me that Electric Control Products has engaged TÜV Rheinland to
independently certify the device against a number of international standards for machinery
safety and functional safety, which may include ISO13849, IEC61508 and IEC62061. These
standards have also been adopted in Australia within AS4024.1, AS62061 and AS61508
respectively. In my view this is an appropriate and effective approach for a device designer,
manufacturer or supplier.
TÜV product functional safety certification provides proof, via independent audit, testing and
analysis that the requirements of the subject standards have been complied with in the design,
manufacture, testing and documentation of the subject device, including its hardware and
software elements.
This process usually results in the issue of a functional safety certificate and test report for the
device by the certifying agency. Furthermore, this certification usually provides a statement of
the ‘capability’ of the device when used in safety-related systems, which is usually expressed
as a SIL, CAT or PL.
This certification and ‘capability’ statement only applies to the device, and does not imply the
level of safety integrity that would be achieved by any safety-related system in which the
Marcus
device Punch
is used. It isPty. Ltd.
usually the responsibility of the safety-related system designer to
determine the overall
Risk and Reliability level of safety integrity achieved by each safety function in their safety-
related system, and this includes a consideration of all other devices or sub-systems used, their
configuration, usage or duty, installation environment and proposed testing frequencies. The
designer’s CAT, PL or SIL claims are then verified by the end user of the safety-related
system, or their representative.
It is not appropriate for me to speculate on the results of the TÜV product functional safety
certification process and any CAT/PL or SIL capability that may be achieved by your device.
However, I have reviewed the Electric Control Products product data sheet entitled “Safe-T-
Pull Lanyard System Risk Assessment CAT/PL Rating” (Pub No. DEL INS 001D 07-11) and
find it commendable that a designer has taken the initiative to explain in detail the design
features of their product and how the potential failure modes of each component have been
prevented or mitigated by the design.
