Dual redundant contacts in the mushroom type Emergency Stop button are monitored by an approved Pilz safety relay.
Can be installed on new or existing machinery (single or three phase).
Suitable for stationary machinery (lathes, drills, mills).
Inclusion of lockable electrical isolator fitted to the Emergency Stop Control Box assists with machine tag out or maintenance work.

Questions to consider when assessing the risk for an Emergency-stop:
- Is the safety of the machine for the operator enhanced by the inclusion of an Emergency Stop device?
- Does the machine have more than one operating position (especially where one position is remote to the other)?
- If any, do the existing safety controls on the machine offer adequate protection for the operator?
- Does the machine need up-grading to protect the operator?
- Has past experience indicated that there is a need for an Emergency Stop button?
- Has independent expert advice indicated that there is a need for an Emergency Stop button on the machine?
