Illuminated Safety Optic

Pull Cable System

ILLUMINATED FIBER OPTIC SAFETY PULL CABLE SYSTEM

HOW IT WORKS

Illuminated Pull Cable System exceeds the stringent safety directives of AAALAC, OSHA, EU and other safety agencies.

  • Does not compromise chamber or normal function of sterilizers or wash equipment.

  • Doesn't require any code or controls alteration.

  • Functions by simply arresting utilities.

  Activation:

  • Engage Illuminated Safety Pull Cable by pulling illuminated cable or pushing e-stop button switch.

 

  Action:

  • Works using dry contacts and/or solenoids to de-energize the utilities of the machine. Pneumatic/hydraulic door actuator lines are closed and vented to relieve any pressure used to close the doors and allow manual opening of the doors. Vacuum pump, hydraulics and/ pneumatic lines can be accessed without safety system reset to permit door operation.

 

   Reset:

  • Stepped return of utilities, System & Equipment resets

   Door operation restored -

  • Compressed air or hydraulic system. Vacuum pump motor starter if required for door operation.

 

   Pull Cable reset:

  • A physical reset is required by safety directives.

 

  System reset:

  • Resets positive dry contacts to restore utilities to the equipment’s controls.
  • Resets the safety relay of the pull cable interface
  • Illuminates Safety Pull Cable controls. Resets alarm function.
  • Sterilizer or Wash Equipment reset (if required)

Brief Synopsis

 

The Illuminated Safety Pull Switch System is mounted inside the equipment’s chamber, with the Systems controls located outside the chamber. The System works independently of the existing equipment’s controls and programs.

 

The System uses light through glass fibers through which a modulated light circuit is completed. The positively processed signal enables the activation of energizing utility sources used in the equipment. An interrupted photo signal results in disabling the utility sources, thus halting any further process and alerts personnel.

The System is engaged by pulling the illuminated cable or pushing the e-stop button.

 

Resetting the System requires physically resetting the optical pull switches and then resetting the Systems safety circuits. Resetting the safety circuits is performed in steps to prevent inadvertent unintended activation of the utilities on the equipment.
