2.4. Emergency stops and interlock switches
For operator safety, the Sure Sort™ incorporates Emergency-Stop buttons and
door interlocks to stop the machine in the event of an emergency.
2.4.1. Emergency stop buttons (E-Stops)
The big, red, mushroom-shaped Emergency stop (E-stop) buttons (shown in
Figure 2-3) can be used to stop the machine in an emergency. One E-Stop is
located at the operator station of the Sure Sort, and another behind the return
conveyor. If necessary, push one of the E-Stops and the machine will stop
immediately.
Note: E-Stops should not be used for normal stopping. For more on proper
operations of the machine, refer to “Operation” on page 111
