The
Inexpensive solution to OSHA
Anti-automatic
restart protection,
without the high cost of magnetic motor starters
THIS
IS A MANDATORY OSHA SAFETY REQUIREMENT
Made
in U.S.A.
Operating characteristics:
With
the Saf-Start-Plug® correctly installed on existing equipment,
it will provide protection against unexpected start-up, motion,
and motor burn-out in the following manner:
Voltage
Drop or Power Interruption Protection-
In
the event equipment, while being operated (switch in the "ON"
position), should stop due to loss or drop of electrical power
due to POWER FAILURE from any cause, the Saf-Start-Plug®
will automatically disconnect and shut

off power to the equipment,
so that upon restoration of power, the equipment will not start
up even though the power switch to the equipment is in the "ON"
position. In order to restore power to the equipment, the equipment
switch must be turned "OFF" first, and then the reset
button on the Saf-Start-Plug® depressed. In the event the
equipment is inadvertently unplugged and then plugged back into
the power source while the equipment switch is in the "on"
position, the equipment will not restart until the reset button
on the Saf-Start-Plug® is depressed. |
Scope
of Application:
The
Saf-Start-Plug® is intended for installation on equipment
which operates on 120-volts A.C. at 15 amperes maximum, and which
is connected to the source of electric power by means of a 3-wire
flexible power cord.
Installation:
The
Saf-Start-Plug® is installed on existing equipment by connecting
it in-line with the flexible power cord and plug from the equipment's
electric "ON-OFF" switch. The Saf-Start-Plug is then
plugged into the power source (at the 120-volt outlet).

The
following standards apply to machines driven by 120 volt motors:
