WARNING… Not a Safeguarding Device.

An Emergency Stop Device is not considered a safeguarding device because it requires an overt action by an
individual to stop machine motion.
(A safeguarding device limits or eliminates an individual’s exposure to a hazard, without action by the individual or
others.)
Because an individual must actuate the E-Stop button for it to function, these devices do not fit the definition of a
safeguarding device.
An Emergency Stop Device cannot be substituted for required safeguarding. Refer to the relevant standards to
determine those requirements.

Overview
Models SSA-EB series are metal or plastic “mushroom-style” mechanical emergency stop buttons, available with or without a compact
enclosure housing, to provide emergency stop actuation. When the button is armed, the switch’s normally closed contacts are closed and its
normally open contacts, if present, are open. When the button is pushed, the switch’s normally closed contacts open and its normally open
contacts close. The contacts remain in this condition until the push button is manually rearmed. To manually rearm, twist the push button.
These emergency stop buttons are not safeguarding devices. They do not automatically protect personnel from injury.

Mechanical Installation
1. Metal models: Latch the push button onto the mounting adapter by rotating it.
2. All Models: Attach the mounting adapter to the mounting surface using the incorporated
screws. (Tmax = 7.14 in-lb/0.8 Nm). Snap the auxiliary contacts onto the mounting adapter.
Use the disc label with legend at every switch per appropriate standards
3. Mount the E-Stop button on a rigid surface that is easily accessible and visible to operators
and other personnel. Refer to appropriate standards for recommendations on number and
placement.

Electrical Installation
Access to the Wiring Chamber
To access the wiring chamber, remove four screws and the cover. Conduit mounting via removable rubber plug or knockout.

Maintenance
At machine set up, a Designated Person* should test each emergency stop push button for proper machine shutdown response.
A Designated Person* should check the emergency stop buttons for proper operation, physical damage, button looseness, and excessive
environmental contamination. This should take place on a periodic schedule determined by the user, based on the severity of the operating
environment and the frequency of switch actuations
Adjust, repair, or replace components as needed. If inspection reveals contamination on the switch, thoroughly clean the switch and eliminate
the cause of the contamination. Replace the switch and/or appropriate components when any parts or assemblies are damaged, broken,
deformed, or badly worn; or if the electrical/mechanical specifications (for the environment and operating conditions) have been exceeded.
Always test the control system for proper functioning under machine control conditions after performing maintenance, replacing the
emergency stop device, or replacing any component of the device.
* A Designated Person is identified in writing by the employer as being appropriately trained to perform a specified checkout procedure. A Qualified Person possesses a
recognized degree or certificate or has extensive knowledge, training, and experience to solve problems relating to the emergency stop installation (reference ANSI B30.2).
