ith bright, highly-visible illu- mination, the new E-stop is suitable for diverse emer- gency stop safety applica- tions, helping to provide users with enhanced safety and productivity on the manufacturing floor. Featuring Banner’s EZ-LIGHT logic, the 30mm mount E-stop pushbuttons provide an illuminated yellow base when the button is armed and the machine is enabled to RUN or is run- ning. When the button is pushed, the yellow illumination turns to a flashing red indication to alert operators of an emergency stop condition. Users can easily reset only the pushed button or buttons, readying the device efficiently with minimal downtime. The yellow illumination can also turn to a steady red indication when a STOP condition exists by applying an external signal via the M12 QD connector. To meet diverse application requirements, the
E-stops are available with two-colour yellow and red lighting, red lighting or a non-illuminated black base. “The unique and attractive element of the 30mm E-stop for customers is in its illumination,” says Chuck Dolezalek, director of product development for lighting and indicators. “Working with the safety development team, we were able to bring an intriguing new product to the market that no one has seen before. With an illuminated base that flashes red, the visual feedback is clear cut, which is extremely useful for opera- tors trying to figure out where the emer- gency stop occurred.”
Offering a robust, IP65-rated design and 30mm mounting base, the E-Stop pushbuttons allow convenient installa- tion with no assembly, individual wiring or additional enclosure required, resulting in lower installation costs. For applications requiring a series of E-stops, multiple buttons can

The E-stop button has ‘Safe Break Action’ to ensure the safety contacts will open if the contact block is sepa- rated from the actuator. The push-to- stop, twist-to-release or pull-to-release actuator and direct (positive) opening operation is compliant with ANSI B11.19, ANSI NFPA79, ISO 13850 and IEC/EN 60204-1 Emergency Stop requirements and meets worldwide safety standards.
