7.11 Enabling switch
A three-position actuator, called Enabling switch, can be provided on the left side of the
transmitting unit.
The Enabling switch protrudes from the transmitting unit housing; therefore it is not protected
from accidental activation, due for example to dropping the unit. For this reason, it is only
provided in the transmitting unit upon request of the manufacturer of the remote controlled
machine and/or of the installer of the radio remote control on the machine.

A Enabling switch
The Enabling switch cannot be used to send to the machine commands that
may generate dangerous situations if unintentionally activated. For example,
it is possible to use it as a consent actuator.
The Enabling switch can never be considered or used as a safety function.
This must be taken into account in the risk assessment of the "machine +
radio remote control" system.
The machine's manufacturer and/or the installer of the radio remote control
on the machine have the responsibility to decide which command is matched
with this actuator.
These are the three possible positions for the Enabling switch:
1. not pressed (OFF)
2. half pressed (ON)
3. completely pressed (OFF)
The Enabling switch is only activated when it is in position "2".
