Limit and Enclosed Switches
Momentary Cable Pull Limit Switches: For Signaling Applications
When using direct acting contacts, Momentary Cable Pull Limit Switches provide a means to
manually force disconnection of a normally closed control circuit by pulling on an attached
cable. Momentary switches cause contact transfer if the cable is manually pulled and held.
When the cable is released, switch contacts return to their original state. Momentary
switches have either direct-acting contacts or snap-action contacts.
Cable length may be up to 200 ft. in a straight line for Single Head switches, and up to 400 ft.
(200 ft. in each direction) for Duplex Head switches.

CABLE PULL SWITCH
CHARACTERISTICS
Momentary Cable Pull Limit Switches are
offered with a black operating head and a
blue body. There is a choice of four different
conduit openings: 1/2-14 NPT, 20mm, PF
1/2, and PG13.5. Duplex switches have 3
standard conduit openings with two conduit
plugs provided.
All switches come with a 1NO auxiliary contact as standard.
NEMA 1, 3, 4 and 13
105 operations maximum
–1° to 70°C (30° to 158°F)
Numbering to EN50013
Zinc die cast
An additional auxiliary switch is also available in the Duplex. This auxiliary switch may
be configured as 1NO - 1NC direct acting,
2NO - 2NC snap action (monitoring only) or
1NO - 1NC with Smart Distributed System
output (monitoring only).
Neon and LED indicators are available. A
6 watt incandescent pilot light is available
on the Duplex for high visibility at long
distances.
SMART DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM OUTPUT
VERSION
The Smart Distributed System Output Version provides Smart Distributed System
compatible switch status messaging. The
primary contact block (NC) must be wired to
the control current. The auxiliary contact
block has been replaced with the Smart
Distributed System circuitry.
Snap action contact blocks and the Smart
Distributed Output Version should be used
for monitoring only. These types of switches
should not be used in control circuits.
