Rope-pull safety switch
250m Idem Safety switches

Idem has introduced the Guardian Line range of Safety 'Grab Wire' Rope switches -the world's most comprehensive range of Grab Wire Safety switches covering all applications and industry sectors.

One of the areas which makes the Guardian Line new and innovative is in the area of rope connectivity. Traditional 'turnbuckle' style rope fasteners and adjusters are prone to rope slippage and require frequent re-tensioning leading to production loss caused by machine down time.

Idem has overcome this common problem by providing a rope connection system with a 'Quick Link' clasp at one end of the rope and a patented Tensioner/Gripper at the other.
The Tensioner / Gripper is located at the switch (rather than elsewhere along the rope length) so that the switch tension window can be viewed. Final setting and locking can be achieved in a matter of seconds without any need for frequent retensioning.

This system not only provides reliability but also reduces installation time and costs.

The switch range offers 5 models covering up to 250m. protection and includes a fully Stainless Steel 316 version to withstand the rigorous demands of the Food, Pharmaceutical and Marine Industries.

Switch features include a bi-colour Green / Flashing Red LED beacon which is designed to be seen from a distance and show which switch has been operated.
Other features include a double seal lid and heavy duty bellows to provide a reliable IP67 ingress protection, interchangeable mushroom type E Stop buttons, and all Stainless Steel parts inside and out. The switch mounting holes are covered by the lid to provide a hygienic enclosure.

ATEX Explosion Proof versions are provided.
