E Stop connections MX4660

Hi there I should be getting my Acorn shortly as it is in the country but I was wondering about how to connect the E Stop to a Driver only MX4660 similar to 540 example. This shows Pin 12 -VDC to one side of the E stop and Pin 10 output 3? to the other side. At present I have the E Stop on the Leadshine across the E Stop plus and minus and these can be linked together if no E Stop in use.
My question is how can I adapt this to my setup and is that E Stop a special as the one you list is a two circuit one which I don't have as it would have banged up my import fees and wasn't aware of the need I'm afraid. Perhaps if I really need it I can get one locally?

Sorry I've just checked my Switch it has got the two contacts so I just need help how to interpret the connections.
Thanks Bob.

please wire as seen in schematic S14851 to get things working...

MX4660 doesn't have an estop input like the G540.
If you want a more robust estop circuit with the MX4660 (or any other drive)
you can kill the high voltage power going to the MX4660 with a Estop contactor as seen in S14826
