Explosion Proof Switch with Flag Status Indicators

Due to their rugged construction these heavy duty slack cable style switches withstand even harsh environments and conditions.  They provide personnel with immediate positive shutdown of equipment. 

The switches may be ordered with right hand, left hand or dual cable pull.  Once the cable is properly connected to the switch a pull of approximately ½” will actuate the switch and trip the flag arm down locking the switch and flag arm in the actuated position.  Unit is reset by returning the flag arm to the normal up position. 

• The standard actuation (pull) force of these switches is 16 lbs
• Recommended cable length is 100 feet maximum per end
• Can be mounted in any position

The cable must be supported every 10 feet to ensure that the weight of the cable alone will not actuate the switch. 

The standard construction of these switches consists of the corrosion resistant aluminum housing complete with stainless steel hardware and red epoxy painted heavy duty flag(s). 

Switches are available with a warning light that may be wired to indicate actuation.  This permits easy identification of actuated switches in areas where visual identification is difficult.

F_T is the value of force, along the cable, which trips the switch.

F_O is the value of force, applied by the operator perpendicular to the cable, which trips the switch.

S_D is the distance between the cable supports.

S_T is the distance the cable is deflected at the time of tripping.

**S_T is in addition to any slack "droop" req'd for set-up.
