IP65 indicates that the enclosure is protected against dust ingress (6) and against low-pressure water jets from any direction (5), making it suitable for many outdoor and harsh environments.
This isolator switch is specifically designed and rated for AC (Alternating Current) applications. It is not recommended for use with DC circuits.
The switch has a maximum current rating of 16A.
This is a 4-pole rotary isolator switch, meaning it breaks all four conductors of a multi-phase circuit simultaneously.
The padlockable handle is designed to lock the switch securely in the OFF position only, ensuring safety during maintenance.
The switch features versatile M20, M25, and M32 knockouts, allowing for the use of corresponding conduit sizes.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the handle mechanism. Check for proper enclosure sealing which might be too tight. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Verify that the switch is fully in the OFF position. Inspect the padlock hole for any obstructions. Ensure the padlock is compatible with the handle's locking mechanism.
Immediately de-energize the circuit and inspect the enclosure seals and knockout entries. Ensure all cable glands are properly tightened and seals are intact. Replace any damaged components.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Utilize the M20/25/32 knockouts for cable entry, ensuring a secure and weatherproof seal. Connect the appropriate conductors to the terminals as per the wiring diagram. Ensure the enclosure is properly sealed after wiring.
Compatibility: This switch is rated for AC applications and is suitable for circuits up to 16A. It is designed for use with lower-capacity circuits and is not intended for high-power industrial machinery unless specified by electrical design.
Care: To maintain performance and safety, regularly inspect the enclosure for damage and ensure seals are intact. Keep the mechanism clean and free from debris. Periodically check that the padlock mechanism functions correctly. Cleaning should be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
