| General Information |
All switches
Panel holes must be punched in the direction of insertion. µ = micro gap switch contacts <3mm |
All products should be applied, installed and maintained by the customer using competent persons in accordance with good electrical practice. Products should be tested by the customer in the application to ensure suitability. Special care should be taken not to expose switches to water, dust, corrosive chemicals, silicone, excessive solder flux, cyanoacrylate adhesives, severe impact, extremes of temperature, electrical supply voltage or load current in excess of the specified limits. Transparent lenses on indicator lights and lit switches are moulded in polycarbonate, a material which is attacked by organic chemicals and animal or vegetable fats. Please contact the factory for advice on these products. For performance in accord with the stated ratings, switch actuators should be fully depressed and fully released during operation. |
