22 November 2023: <\/em><\/strong>The Allen-Bradley Guardmaster Lifeline 5\u2122 range of cable-pull switches available from Referro Systems, not only improves safety of both personnel and equipment, these rugged switches assist in extending the lifespan of conveyor systems under unwanted site conditions.<\/p>\n

Adrian van Wyk, Referro Systems, Managing Director explains, \u201cTraditional cable-pull switches are prone to nuisance trips and unreliable operation due to temperature-based changes in cable tension as well as slack or non-existing pull cables as not all cable pull systems are even tensioned. The solid-state operation of the Lifeline 5\u2122 offers an electronic monitoring system to compensate for thermal expansion and cable sag as well as are a tensioned system which \u201cunderstands\u201d the difference of the pull cable being present or not. These safety switches are focused on improving safety without sacrificing productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Available in die-cast aluminium or rugged, stainless-steel housings with IP66 and IP67 (IP69K) environmental ratings, respectively, the Lifeline 5\u2122 safety switch helps optimise productivity by combining maximum reliability with diagnostics that can help prevent unplanned downtime without compromising safety. The die-cast aluminium model also offers an optional, integrated E-stop button for even greater application flexibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Lifeline 5\u2122 is a solid-state switch the mechanical wear often associated with traditional switches is mitigated resulting in increased uptime with improved safety over a longer lifecycle saving on both maintenance and improving the lifespan of your conveyor belt system,\u201d states van Wyk.<\/p>\n

The Lifeline 5\u2122 safety switch provides constant access to the E-stop function, enabling a machine hazard to be stopped with a simple pull of the attached cable or a push of the onboard E-stop. The patented, microprocessor-based solution simplifies setup and allows for more efficient maintenance and troubleshooting. The easy-to-see 270\u00b0 LED integrated indicators assist in cable tensioning for quick, precise setup while providing clearly visible switch status and diagnostics during operation.<\/p>\n

Offering the same bolt pattern as previous Lifeline 4\u2122 versions ensures that retrofitting the Lifeline 5\u2122 cable-pull switches into an existing Lifeline 4\u2122 system is easily achieved.\u00a0 With 270\u00b0 LEDs for set up and diagnostics and up to 100m cable span this completely sealed, solid-state and micro-processor based switch with an extended temperature range is internationally certified and with its rugged construction is designed for local operating conditions providing overall personell safety and machine safety in a single device<\/p>\n
