These devices are typically used for conveyor
systems, transfer machines, presses,
woodworking equipment, painting lines, test
laboratories, etc. The cable is stretched between
the switch and an anchor. The cable pull
emergency stop is usually located close to a
machine or installation containing moving parts
that ma y present a hazard while in operation. The
operator must be ab le to easily pull the cable from
anywhere within the critical zone.
T o qualify as an
emergency stop the cable pull switch must be
of direct (positive) opening contact type and
actuated if the cable is pulled or broken (taut
cable principle). It must also latch in the open
position until the operator will manually reset
it. The operator (cable) color must be red.
Momentary action switches don't have the
latching feature and don't require direct
(positive) opening contacts.
XY2CE and XY2CH cable pull switches meet all
the requirements of the harmonized European
standard EN418, relating to Emergency Stop
devices.
The use of an end spring is strongly advised in the
recommendations of the European draft standard
EN616, when using cable pull devices on
continuous duty mechanical handling equipment
and systems.
Features include:
• 3 cable entries 1/2" NPT
• Positive latching (no teasing)
• Direct opening N.C. contacts meets the IEC
and EN requirements for positive opening
contacts per IEC 947-5-1, EN 60947-5-1; and
NEMA ICS-5, part 6 (direct opening action).
• Slow-make slow-break for emergency stop
• Snap action contacts for momentary switch
• Works properly even if spring is broken
• Lock-out option
• Doesn’t reset if out of adjustment
• Manual tripping force adjustment
• Traction force indicator
• Adjustment indicator
• Corrosion proof models available
• UL Listed and CSA Certified
• XY2CH for applications up to 50 feet (15m)
• XY2CH has two viewing windows to aid in
setting and adjusting the switch
• XY2CE for applications up to 165 feet (50m)

OPERATING PRINCIPLES – XY2CH
Normal position
The cable (1) is tightened by the turnbuckle (2) and held in a normal position by the spring
(3). As the turnbuc kle is turned, the cam (4) moves from left to right, and allows the actuator
(5) to be positioned according to the particulars of the desired setting (see page 15).
The mechanical latch is unlocked when the N.C. contact is in the locked position.
Tripping the device
Operating or breaking the cable results in the cam shifting position.
The active part of the cam presses down the actuator (5), simultaneously causing the N.C. contact (7)
to open and the mechanical latch (6) to maintain it in its open position. Cable supports ensure the
transmission of the cable tension into the axis of the switch cam.
NOTE: For greater safety, an end spring (8) is recommended at the f ar end of the cable (1) allo wing the
cable to be moved right or left, especially for cables 80' or longer. The use of an end spring is strongly
advised in the recommendations of the European standard EN616, when using the cable pull devices
on continuous duty mechanical handling equipment and systems.
DEFINITIONS
The value of the tension (F) along the cable which trips the switch.
Adjustable value according to cam position (see table on page 12).
The value of the traction force (F1) applied by the operation perpendicular to the cable which trips
the switch. Adjustable value according to the table on page 12.
The distance (f) travelled by the operator i.e. operator's hand, between the normal position and the
tripping point. Adjustable value according to the table on page 12.
GENERAL PURPOSE ADJUSTMENT METHOD
XY2CE
Cable traction force
Adjust either directly when mounting the cable or using a turnbuckle positioned near the switch b ut after
the first cable support. For standard adjustment the tension indicator should be in the middle of
the range.
Operating travel
The tripping point is adjusted by the rotating cam marked b y letters A to F. Position A corresponds to the
minimum travel. Position F corresponds to the maximum travel.
NOTE: The switches are delivered from the factory in position A.
XY2CH
XY2CH has two viewing windows to aid in adjusting cable tension and resetting the switch. When the
cable tension indicator is in mid-r ange in its viewing window, the reset button should be pushed to reset
the device. When reset, a green indicator is visible in the contact viewing window. When the switch is
tripped, a yellow indicator is visible in the contact viewing window and the cable tension indicator is at
the edge of its viewing window.

Turnbuckle
The XY2 cable pull s witches are based on the taut
cable principle, which means the cable must be
tight and have a tension applied to allow the switch
to be reset and work properly . This is different from
slack cable switches where the cable is normally
slack and is only tight when pulled. The benefit of
the taut cable principle is that the operator kno ws
that if the cable is taut, the machine can be shut
down. If slack cable switches are used, the
operator is not assured the cable is affixed
properly at the switch and may be unsure that
when the cable is pulled the machine will stop.
The distance an operator must pull the cab le on a
slack cable switch depends on the operator’s
distance from the switch and the amount of slack
in the cable . An operator close to the switch needs
to take up much less slack in the cable before
tripping the switch than an operator at the far end
of the installation. With a taut cable switch, the
operating force and distance the cable needs to be
pulled is the same throughout the installation. The
taut cable style of device is more reliable in an
emergency situation.
Effects of Friction
To operate properly, the cable must be tight with
tension on it, and the cable m ust hav e a minimum
of friction. Care must be taken in the machine
design to insure that the system avoids ANY
friction between the cable on the machine parts or
components, and mo ving parts on the machine or
material handling system.
• The cable must be free of motion on its
supports. It should not lay against the supports
nor rub on them except when the cable is pulled
by an operator.
• The cable must not hav e weights attached nor
applied to it as a standard part of the
application.
• The application must be designed to
reduce friction as low as possible. This is
accomplished by using reduced friction pulleys
and guides.
• The cables should never be run through conduit
or tubing.

XY2 Cable Pull
Application Information
Cornering
The operating cable should be installed so that
the cable run is straight, b ut this cable can also be
routed around corners using pulleys. If the cable
deviates from a straight line, pulleys
must
be
used. The effects of friction could be more
noticeable if the cable is not installed correctly and
with a minimum of friction.
• DO NOT allow the cable to turn corners or
change direction using only cable supports.
• A pulley
must
be used when routing cable
around corners, regardless of the angle. Use a
pulley whenever direction is changed even
slightly. The pulley must have freedom of
movement on its mounting to maintain the self-
alignment of the cable.
•If a fix ed pulley is used, a cable support should
be positioned within 4 inches (10 cm) of both
sides of the pulley.
•The total sum of the angles for the cable bends
or turns should be no more than 180°.
i.e.: qty of two 90-degree angle turns is
acceptable.
i.e.: qty of three 60-degree angle turns is
acceptable.
i.e.: qty of three 90-degree angle turns is not
acceptable.
Temperature
Temperature variations in the area where the
cable pull switch is installed can affect the
adjustment of the switch. The cable expands
(becomes longer) when temperature increases,
and contracts (shrinks) when temperature
decreases. Wide temperature variations should
be avoided where possible. If temperature
variations are significant, the adjustment of the
cable and switch must be checked at regular
intervals. If the switch is not adjusted properly
during installation, temperature variations could
affect cable length and trip the switch without
operator intervention. If this occurs, the switch
needs to be readjusted.
Temperature v ariances can come from any of the
following:
•Seasonal temperature changes in non-climate
controlled areas.
• Freezers and refrigeration equipment which
are cold during production but are brought to
room temperature for cleaning.
• Equipment that is used to heat treat or cook
material during production but is brought to
room temperature for cleaning.
• Equipment which is at room temperature (or
lower temperatures) for production but is
cleaned with hot water or steam.
• Equipment placed near windows and large
glass areas: sunlight could cause an
expansion of the cable where an overcast da y
may cause a contraction of the cable.
Note: Routing the cable through both hot and cold
production areas with the same cable could
require more frequent adjustment and
may
not
allow proper adjustment throughout the
production cycle. Example: A cable pull switch on
a production line where the product is cooked and
then flash frozen in a short distance. Some
sections of the cable could be v ery hot, and other
sections very cold, and other sections at room
temperature. Temperature variations in any of
these areas could aff ect the ov er all adjustment of
the cable. Where such variations occur, we
recommend the use of multiple cable pulls.
General Guidelines
• Be sure the cable remains accessible and
visible to the operators for its entire length.
• The switch, cable supports, and other
hardware must be rigidly mounted on the
machine or application. If these mountings are
not secure and rigid, the tension on the cable
could be changed and the switch will trip.
Mounting points must not move when the cable
is pulled.
• Supports are not to be placed on moveable
parts of the application.
• Cable lengths used must not be in excess of
maximum lengths listed f or the particular cable
pull switch.
• The turnbuckle allows for the proper
adjustment of the switch, and must be mounted
close to the switch to ease and simplify
adjustment of the system.
• The turnbuckle locknuts should be tightened
securely.
• The first cable support should be within 4
inches (10 cm) of the switch.
• The sheath around the end of the cable must
be removed when inserted into the cable
clamps to assure metal to metal contact.
Failure to remove sheathing could cause
slipping of the cable, reducing the tension on
the cable, and switches may not perform to
published specifications.

Wiring, Operating and Approximate Dimensions
Wiring diagrams
For the versions with two contact blocks the left one is identified as A and the right one is identified as B. The markings are
permanently inscribed on the mounting fixture above the contact blocks. Ex. B 21-22 is the normally closed contact of the right
contact block.
NOTE: When the emergency stop switch operates in conjunction with solid state controls, i.e. PLCs, the supply for the safety
functions must be disconnected independent of the PLC.
Overall dimensions
Emergency stop push button option with key inserted is shown
Operating instructions
Indicator displays
The indicators define the maximum cable tension adjustment zone. The cable tension is adjusted via the
turnbuckle.
The device will not function outside this zone.
For general purpose adjustment the indicator should be in the middle of the window.
Adjustment limits for effective operating
In a normal position, adjustments should be made so that there must be a play (J) between the
actuator and the conical parts of the cam.
Cable supports
It is recommended to space supports along the entire length of the cable at 6 to 16 f oot (2 to 5 meter)
interv als.
Cable supports ensure the transmission of the cable tension in the axis of the switch
cam. The first one after the switch is mandatory for correct operation
(3.9", 100 mm). Also, if pulleys
are used to change the direction of the cable ,
cable supports at 4" before and after the pulley are
mandatory
.
NO TE: Use supports with 0.8" (20 mm) maximum height H with respect to the product mounting plate.
Cable characteristics
Recommended cable diameter is 1/8" (3.2 mm). Ho wev er, any galvaniz ed steel cable (aircraft type) less
than 9/32" (7 mm) diameter can be used, provided it meets the f ollo wing criteria: Maximum elongation
of cable to be no more than 0.00834" per ft. (.7 mm/m), which is equivalent to a maxim um
co-efficient of e xpansion of 0.07%, based on a 140 °F (60 °C) temperature v ariance.
