EAO now offers a selection of trigger-action emergency stop switches as part of its successful 04 Series and 61 Series of panel mounting switches.
Options include: LED illumination; twist to unlock or key to unlock; protective shrouds; emergency-stop switch box enclosures; labels; and protection of up to IP65 against dirt and water ingress.
In an emergency, a simple push of an EAO emergency stop actuator instantly releases normally closed contacts, thus immediately terminating power.
EAO emergency stop switches are re-activated either by hand twisting the actuator, or when additional security is required, by unlocking the actuator with a key.
EAO emergency stop switches satisfy international standards including the EN418 directive that demands a "foolproof" switch operation.
