FineTek SRS2 Bi-Directional Safety Cable Pull Switch
The FineTek SRS2 is a bi-directional pull-cord switch for conveyor emergency stops. It takes a cable from each side, so one compact switch can cover two cable runs, and it trips on a broken cable as well as a pull.
How It Works
Plastic-coated steel cables run from both sides of the switch along the conveyor and end in springs at the anchor points. A pull on either cable, or a cable breaking, trips and latches the switch, opening its two micro-switches to de-energise the conveyor starter. The latch can only be released with the reset lever on the switch itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does bi-directional mean on a pull-cord switch?
The switch accepts a cable from each side and trips whichever one is pulled, so a single switch covers two lengths of conveyor.
Does the SRS2 trip if the cable breaks?
Yes. The anchor springs operate the switch when a cable breaks.
What is the enclosure rating?
IP67, in die-cast aluminium.
