– Safety foot operated switch
General description
The foot-operated safety switch Fox have been developed for industrial application with high mechanical and electrical
endurance. The foot-operated switches are used on wood processing machines, CNC machines, building machines and
bending machines. Normally a safety foot operated switch is used when the operator has to have both hands free.
Fox is available with a three or two positioning function in single and double pedal variants. Fox is always supplied with
duplicated contacts and robust safety cover.
Fox 31/32, three position function, provide stop signals in the top and bottom position. Start/ready signals for separate
starting are provided in a distinct middle position. After a stop in the bottom position a start or clear signal cannot be given
before the reset knob has been operated and the pedal has been pushed into its middle position.
Fox 21/22, two-position function, provide stop signal in the top or pedal released position. A start/ready signal for
separate starting is given in the bottom or fully depressed position.

System description – three position pedal Fox 31/32
1) Normal: In resting position, the machine is OFF and the operator is preparing the work piece.
2) Operation: By pressing the pedal to the middle position the contacts 23-24 and 43-44 are closed and the safety
relay is activated. The machine is running.
3) E-Stop: If danger occurs the operator press the pedal to the third (bottom) position. A stop signal is immediately
sent to the machine. The safety relay falls and the machine stops. NB! Only available on Fox 31 and Fox 32.
4) Reset: After reaching the third position the pedal is locked and must be reset by turning the knob 90° counter
clockwise by hand, thereby releasing the latch.
5) Normal: The pedal is now in its stand-by position again, ready for next operation.
