Enabling Switch, 440J Series

Hand-operated grip style enabling device. Underneath the rubber boot, called the trigger switch, the 440J enabling device has two three-position switches. The contacts are closed when the actuator is in the mid-position (partly depressed). The contacts are open when the actuator is in the rest (released) position and in the fully pressed position. When transitioning from fully pressed to released, the contacts remain open. The 440J meets the requirements of IEC 60947-5-8:2006, which was written to describe the performance and design requirements of three-position enabling devices. The model with the normally open contact is typically used as a jog or reset function. The safety system design must only allow the use of the jog or reset function when the trigger switch is in the mid-position.
