Enable Switches
The T2 pendant is equipped with two 3-position enable switches, one at the left and one at
the right side of the device. This allows both left- and right-hand operation of the enable
switch. Both enable switches are equivalent and parallel switched. So for enabling power,
only one of the two switches must be activated.
The actuating element consists of two symmetrically arranged slides. The position of
these slides is detected by electrical switches and transmitted to the evaluation electronics.
