Overview

The Dual Remote Lockout Station (RLS) is a rotary operated, enclosed switch with two System Isolated verification lights
and an operating handle that can be locked in the OFF position to provide Lockout / Tagout. The Dual Remote Lockout
Station is used to initiate the isolation sequence simultaneously in two separate ElectroGuard® units by sending signals to
each control module.

The Dual Remote Lockout Station is an integral part of the ElectroGuard® Safety Isolation Systems manufactured by
Rockwell Automation and designed for use with only these systems.

Installing the Dual Remote Lockout Station

Install the Dual RLS in the vertical plane using the four mounting holes in the enclosure external mounting flanges (see
Figure 1) and refer to Pre-Installation Precautions on page 2-1 of the ElectroGuard® User Manual.

Dual RLSs should be installed at locations requiring access or exposure to two machines or processes simultaneously.
Proper positioning of Dual RLSs permits operators and/or maintenance personnel to easily initiate isolation in both
machines or processes after normal stopping means for each machine or process have been used.

Remote Lockout Station Cable Specifications

IMPORTANT:

· Cable must have copper conductors only.

· Cable with 600V insulation is required.

· Oil resistant cable is recommended.

· Individual conductors within the cable should be color-coded or otherwise clearly marked (see Table 1).

· Cable must have a shield with a drain wire Similar to: ALPHA wire XTRA-GUARD

IMPORTANT: The maximum total cable length between all of the RLSs and the Control Module in the ElectroGuard® Power Panel shown in
Table 2 must not be exceeded. This may affect the reliable operation of the ElectroGuard®. Consider using an optional Expansion Module if cable
lengths greater than those shown are needed (see Installation and Wiring of the Expansion Module in Chapter 2 of the ElectroGuard® User Manual

Revision 2030-UM003A-EN-P or later).

The cable lengths in Table 2 represent the total wire impedance allowed to help ensure proper operation of the safety monitoring relays
used in the isolation system. See Appendix C of the ElectroGuard® User Manual regarding length calculation, conductor sizing and
installation scenarios. Note that each Dual RLS is connected to two separate ElectroGuard® units, and a cable length calculation must
be done for both systems separately. When doing individual calculations, use only the length of the cable connected directly to that unit.

Wiring the Dual Remote Lockout Station

1. Open the RLS enclosure by loosening the two cover clamp screws (See Figure 2).

With the opearting handle held in the OFF position, squeeze the interlock lever and the operation handle held as in Figure 3. Lift the
cover away from the base.
