Rope Pull Emergency Stop Devices
ER5018
Compact Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switch
• Compact size allows this switch to be used on smaller machines with a mounting width of 40 mm
(1.57 in.) and covering rope spans up to 40 m (131 ft.)
• Tension indicator makes system setup and rope tension maintenance easy
• Contact arrangements of 2 N/C + 1 N/O or 3 N/C
• IP67 (NEMA 6) enclosure enables the ER5018 switch to withstand water
washdown cleaning
• Heavy-duty housing—the die-cast housing and stainless steel eye nut
makes the ER5018 suitable for demanding industrial applications
• Integral E-Stop—the optional E‑stop provides emergency stopping at the
extreme end of the installation
• Reset button—the blue reset button must be pushed in order to return to
“machine run” condition following switch actuation by a pulled or slacked
rope
• Vibration tolerant—the snap-acting switch contacts protect against
nuisance tripping due to vibration
• Rubber bellows contain UV inhibitor making the switches suitable for outdoor applications
• Long life—the ER5018 switch is designed for a minimum of one million actuations

Safety Precuations
Operating instructions
Installation must be in accordance with the following steps and stated
specifications and should be carried out by suitably competent personnel.
Adherence to the recommended maintenance instructions forms part of
the warranty.
! WARNING
Do not defeat, tamper, remove or bypass this unit.
Severe injury to personnel could result.
W
Tension Indicator
Indicator shown with steel rope properly adjusted.
! WARNING
1. Installation of all Safety Rope Switch systems must be in accordance
with a risk assessment for the individual application. Installation must
only be carried out by competent personnel and in accordance with
these instructions.
2. Rope support eyebolts must be fitted at 2.5 m. min. to 3 m. max. intervals along all rope lengths between switches. The rope must be
supported no more than 500 mm from the switch eyebolt or Safety
Spring (if used). It is important that this first 500 mm is not used as part
of the active protection coverage.
3. M5 mounting bolts must be used to fix the switches. Tightening torque
for mounting bolts to ensure reliable fixing is 4 Nm. Tightening torque for
the lid screws, conduit entry plugs and cable glands must be 1.5 Nm to
ensure IP seal. Only use correct sizing glands for conduit entry and
cable outside diameter.
4. Tensioning of rope is achieved by use of tensioner / gripper assemblies.
Upon installation, tension to mid-position as indicated by the red arrows
in the viewing window of each switch. Check operation for all switches
and the control circuits by puling the rope at various locations along the
active protection area and resetting each switch by depressing the Blue
Reset button. Ensure each time that the switches latch off and require
manual resetting by depressing the Blue Reset button. Increase the system tension further, if required, depending upon the checks along the
active length of coverage. If fitted with a Mushroom type E-Stop button
(Red) then test and reset each switch to ensure function of control circuits. Typical operational conditions for successful operation of system
is less than 75 N. pulling force and less than 150 mm deflection of rope
between eyebolt supports. If the optional LED is fitted but is not used,
ensure that the conductors remain coiled and tied to the tie hole in the
LED flange.
5. Every week: Check correct operation of system at locations along all
coverage length. Check for nominal tension setting, re-tension rope if
necessary. Every 6 months: Isolate power and remove cover. Check
screw terminal tightness and check for signs of moisture ingress. Never
attempt to repair any switch.

with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Product in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or property. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Product.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO

Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
