Reliability
Cost-Saving Maintenance
Advanced maintenance features extend switch
life and reduce downtime, saving both labor and
material costs. The VisiPacT safety switch modular
design allows the replacement of all interior worn
or damaged components.
Field-replaceable components such as interior
line bases, load bases, and mechanisms are
available. Moreover, handles and lock plates
are also replaceable if they are damaged or
vandalized.
In addition, VisiPacT Type 4X and 12 safety
switches come standard with fuse pullers,
increasing the convenience and safety of
maintenance. Fuse pullers are also field-
installable on certain models.
Operation and Safety
Nothing is as important in the design of a switch
as understanding how it will be used. To ensure
safety switches continue to meet the needs of
commercial and industrial applications, products
are engineered with the operational procedures
and safe work practices of customers in mind.
Superior Handle Design
The VisiPacT insulated switch handle is an industry
exclusive. It is made from a high-strength polymer
chosen for weather resistance, durability, and
impact strength, and features a hook stick loop for
additional distance and insulation when needed.
The two-color, position-indicating handle on heavy
duty safety switches enhances operator safety by
aiding in visual recognition of switch position from
an angle or at a distance. The simple concept of
having contrasting colors on the handle enhances
the ability of the operator to determine quickly the
position of the switch, even in low-light conditions.
In an emergency, it is vital that switch position be
accurately recognizable. Plus, an embossed on/o marking is a permanent
indication of the switch position and cannot be removed or vandalized.
Tamper-Resistant Enclosure
Resolving lockout issues is a priority with major industrials. VisiPacT safety
switches have an extruded lock plate feature that helps prevent tampering
with lockout devices. The lock plate opening is extruded to reduce the
possibility of lockout devices being removed by nonauthorized personnel.
With the use of the handle lock plate, the switch can be locked in the OFF
position with up to three padlocks to comply with OSHA lockout requirements.
The safety switch can also be modified so that the switch can be locked in the
ON position, if required by the application.
Heavy-duty dual cover interlocks are key safety features on single-throw and
double-throw heavyduty switches. These prevent the opening of the cover
when the switch is ON or turning the switch ON when the cover is open.
Qualified personnel can also defeat this feature allowing them to perform any
necessary testing.
