Control and signalling switches

15 May 2013 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Legrand’s range of Osmoz control and signalling units, which is RoHS compliant, has been redesigned for quick installation, easy operation, reliable performance and enhanced safety. They have been given new style heads with an anti-rotation tab and improved impact resistance.

Head options include spring return illuminated and non-illuminated pushbuttons, selector switches, key operated heads, emergency stop/start push mushroom heads and indicator light heads. Included in this range are various types of rotary switches with a key and lever handle.

All heads on a device are mounted independently of an electrical body which are then fixed onto the body with a swift, single click twist-on action. A locking ring on the head ensures perfect alignment for all assembly functions. These new ergonomically designed devices have an anti rotation notch on the body and a reduced head height.

The new dustproof design and shape of these devices ensures improved cleaning ability. The parts, which are manufactured from a self-extinguishing synthetic resin to provide a sophisticated finish, offer high-performance electrical characteristics, guaranteed insulation and fire resistant qualities.

Engraved labels can be attached to the label holder at any time, even after assembly, which means that identification is easily modified without the need to dismantle equipment. The type of contact is easily identified for enhanced safety. A comprehensive range of connection options of the control and indication blocks is available. The new Osmoz range conforms with stringent international quality and safety specifications.
