REES 03275-500,  Cable/Rope Operated Switch

Back to Store  / REES

Features/Applications

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. One enclosure suggestion is Rees number 02765-000. A sealing gasket and four mounting screws are supplied with each switch.

For complete assembly consisting of (1) 03275-500 and (1) 02765-000 sheet metal enclosure powder coat painted block, order part number 04956-300.

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

• Low operating force
• Gold plated contacts eliminate high resistance tarnishing

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.
