- The rip cord system is installed as part of an overall system as a triggering system for the cable pull emergency stop switch. The cable emergency stop switch triggers an emergency stop command by pulling the rip cord. This means that up to 100m of a system can be secured. The ripcord is attached to the release lever of the cable pull emergency stop switch with turnbuckles and fixed with swing hooks at attachment points max. 50m away. The tension springs on the rip cord ensure constant pre-tension so that a tear in the rope triggers the switch and an error is displayed immediately. This guarantees that the route will be secured in the event of an emergency.
