Rees 03275-500 Rope Operated Switch

This switch is a slack cable style with 2 NO and 2 NC 'Snap Action' contacts.  This switch does NOT provide 'Positive Break' or 'Positive Transfer' features and should only be used for non-emergency, normal start - stop applications.

This low activating force switch is basically a pushbutton device operated through a nickel plated operating lever attached to the cover.  Care must be taken when choosing and installing the operating rope because the low operating force can be easily overcome and the switch will not trip or reset properly.

This switch requires a suitable enclosure which must be purchased separately.  A sealing gasket and four mounting screws are supplied with each switch.

Each captive terminal will accept (2) #14 AWG stranded wires.

• Low operating force
• Nema 12/13, IP 65
• Gold plated contacts eliminate high resistance tarnishing
• Positive Break contacts    

The maximum recommended rope length is 33 feet with a maximum interval support of 10 feet when horizontal.

The mechanical life of the switch is in excess of 1,000,000 operations.
