Banner RP-QM90 Rope Pull Switch - Manual (Page 5)

Maintenance/Checkout
At switch installation or replacement and at machine set up, a Designated Person 1 must test each switch for proper
machine shutdown response and check the switch(es) and installation for proper operation, physical damage, mounting
(looseness), and excessive environmental contamination. This must also take place on a periodic schedule determined by
the user, based on the severity of the operating environment and the frequency of switch actuations. Adjust, repair, or
replace components as needed. If inspection reveals contamination on the switch, thoroughly clean the switch and
eliminate the cause of the contamination. Replace the switch and/or appropriate components when any parts or
assemblies are damaged, broken, deformed, or badly worn; or if the electrical/mechanical specifications (for the
environment and operating conditions) have been exceeded. Always test the control system for proper functioning under
machine control conditions after performing maintenance, replacing the switch, or replacing any component of the switch.
Additional items that should be included in the checkout and/or regularly scheduled maintenance of a rope pull system:
• Check for proper rope tension and adjust as needed
• Verify free operation (no binding) of the rope and proper tripping when the rope is pulled
• Periodically lubricate the pulleys and other moving parts associated with the rope
• Repair any loose or damaged hardware, worn/frayed rope (cable), missing red rope sheathing or flags/markers (if
used)
• Remove or clean off any contamination and eliminate its cause
