[gashead]

I dont know if these prices are good but somebody will surely chime in.,(Plz)

EMO Red kill buttons

Good find!

However, no use to me in the UK as you need have a "key reset" (as opposed to twist) - not sure about the states.

Cheers,

you need have a "key reset"

Could you explain this in more detail? I always understood the 'twist to unlock' type of mechanism on an emergency stop was perfectly adequate, although maybe not on a big power tool!

It depends on how you are using the E-stop....

One common practise in the UK is to use a key to release e-stop button to double as the projectors key switch rather then having a separate key, but this is not required.

Still a good find though.

Thanks for saying that >>>>>


YEA.. but your find is less than half that price--better FIND-


is this type compliant to USA rules. Or is the key type needed?

PS a EEKbay search will show lowest price of $4.99 USD free shipping from HongKong.

You may "get what you pay for"....

I've had one of these emergency switches break in shipping, as the potted metal components aren't very robust.

The key release type are nice, but I don't believe that they are legal in the US for an "all in one", as the key is removeable to allow for the switch to operate.

I'm using "idec" brand (IDEC IZUMI), not cheap, but nice quality and I wouldn't want a broken switch to shut down a show....

Thanks Greg- its often wiser to go with quality stuff and be done with it.

To save a few$$ and have a show stop midway would be a nightmare.

Here is a seller of IDEC on fleaBay-- this is a real nice one- but for 6$ less you can get on that is not illuminated.. IDEC IZUMI

forgive me my bare knowledge, but such a stop button is connected to the AC or something?
how and where is such a device connected. i tried google but no luck.

i want one pure so that my device is savety approved.

I have my emergency stop button set up so that it cuts the mains power to the projector. Not a problem with solid-state lasers, but you would probably need a different arrangement if you're using a gas laser, as you wouldn't want to suddenly stop any cooling.
