Press and hold the A-Stop button for one second for an A-Stop to broadcast a stop signal. Refer to site-specific safe work practices to communicate A-Stop usage or verify A-Stop functionality.

Illustration 1 shows command machines with onboard A-Stop receivers. The stop LED Indicator light on the A-Stop remote indicates that an A-Stop has been activated. The large circle in Illustration 1 indicates the range of the A-Stop remote. In Illustration 1, the Autonomous machines (1) that are in range of the A-Stop remote (2) are stopped due to the A-Stop button that was pressed. Once an A-Stop event has occurred, any Command machines with the A-Stop system installed and within range of the remote transmitter will be stopped for as long as the remote is transmitting. A "Clear" signal is required for the affected Command machines to resume normal operation.

When more than one remote is activated at once, all remotes that sent an A-Stop command will need to send a "Clear" signal. Refer to Illustration 2 for an example of multiple transmitters in operation at once. In Illustration 2, Command machines (5) and (7) are being stopped by A-Stop transmitters (4) and (8), so the Command machines will need to receive a clear signal from both A-Stop devices before it can continue operating.
