Features Benefits

30A contact rating Negates the use of ancillary


contactors for many heavy current
switching applications

Up to 60 contacts on one switch Critical switching operations can be


achieved using one switch
preventing possible errors when
using more switches

Up to eight switch positions Can be used for duties having many


functions

Choice of contact duties Switches suitable for ac, dc and


small signal applications

Choice of stayput or spring return Switches available for both selector


and control applications from the
same range

Flame retardant material with arc Meets all required safety standards
quenching properties

Silver cadmium oxide contacts for High reliability and durability


positive electrical connection

Choice of 13 handles including Suitable for use on all styles of

Locking Facilities
The following locking facilities can
be provided on control switches.

Padlocking
Padlocking arrangements can be
provided with either a ‘pull to lock’
or a self locking ‘push to release’
facility. See Figure 3. Locking can
be achieved in any switch position
or combinations thereof, by
selection.
The maximum diameter padlock
hasp suitable for use with the switch
is 4.7mm.

Figure 3: Padlockable ODS switch

Barrel locking
A barrel lock can be incorporated in
the centre of the operating handle,
lockable, by selection, in any of the
switch positions. It can be supplied
with either the ‘key free when switch
locked or unlocked’ or ‘key free only
when switch locked’. See Figure 4.
