Accessory 1NC with Emergency Metal Bar
The PDABE bolts onto an EMAS PDK-series footswitch to add a genuine emergency stop function, raising a metal bar to knee/shin height so an operator can hit it without needing to look down and find a small button underfoot. It's the accessory that turns a standard footswitch into a footswitch with a real safety stop.
Adding an emergency stop function to EMAS footswitches is simple with this accessory.
The metal bar elevates the emergency stop button to operator level.
Contains 1 x N.C. contact. Additional contacts available.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
Which footswitches does this fit?
It's designed for EMAS's PDK-series footswitches, adding an emergency stop function to the standard switch.
Why is the bar raised rather than at foot level?
Raising the bar to operator level means it can be hit quickly without the operator needing to look down and locate a small button — a genuine speed and safety advantage in an emergency.
Can I add more contacts?
Yes — additional contacts are available if your safety circuit needs more than the standard single N.C. contact.
Does this replace the footswitch, or attach to an existing one?
It's an accessory that attaches to an existing PDK-series footswitch, adding the emergency function rather than replacing the switch itself.
