FineTek SRS Safety Cable Pull Switch
A pull-cord running the length of a conveyor lets anyone stop it from wherever they stand. The FineTek SRS safety cable pull switch is the emergency-stop device at the end of that cord.
How It Works
A steel cable runs alongside the conveyor and connects to the SRS. Pulling the cable at any point trips the switch, which opens its contacts and de-energises the conveyor starter. The switch latches in the tripped state and has to be reset at the switch itself before the conveyor can restart.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pull-cord switch for?
It gives personnel an emergency stop at any point along a conveyor by pulling a cable that runs beside the belt.
How is the SRS different from the SRS2?
The SRS2 is the bi-directional version, which takes a cable from each side, so one switch can cover two cable runs.
What else protects a conveyor?
The FineTek SRT belt misalignment switch and the EDX speed monitor complete the set.
