This content is intended for general information. The application must be carried out by means of equipment manufacturer instructions, the risk assessment specific to the business and the energy control procedure prepared by authorized persons.

Why do we need a special choice?

Start-stop and selective key protectors reduce the accidental control; but in most cases, energy is not replaced by the isolation element. The secure solution is to evaluate control protection along with the main energy isolation and verification steps.

Data for the product selection

The button diameter, elevated, mushroom head emergency stop structure, the arm size of the selective key and surface assembly are recorded. Transparent cover, lockable cover or dissolved storage choice is made according to access and visibility needs.
