GENERAL INFORMATION
ALL SWITCHES
Heat and Fire resistance Category D.
ALL PRODUCTS
Solder terminals should not be fitted with “Push on”, “QD” or “Fast on” type
cable connectors.
Panel holes must be punched in the direction of insertion.
µ = micro gap switch contacts <3mm.
For performance in accord with the stated ratings, switch actuators should
be fully depressed and fully released during operation.
All products should be applied, installed and maintained by the
customer using competent persons in accordance with good electrical
practice. Products should be tested by the customer in the application to
ensure suitability. Special care should be taken not to expose switches to
water, dust, corrosive chemicals, silicone, excessive solder flux,
cyanoacrylate adhesives, severe impact, extremes of temperature, electrical
supply voltage or load current in excess of the specified limits.
Transparent lenses on indicator lights and lit switches are moulded in
polycarbonate, a material which is attacked by organic chemicals and
animal or vegetable fats. Please contact sales for advice on these products.

Technical Information - Indicators
The majority of Arcolectric indicator lights can be supplied with alternative light sources:
Neon, Incandescent or LED.
NEON LAMPS
Colors
Available with Red, Amber, Green, Blue or Clear lenses.
INCANDESCENT LAMPS
Colors
Available with Red, Amber, Green, Clear or Blue lenses.
Maximum firing voltages
technical
data
Standard brightness types 65Vac 90Vdc.
High brightness types 85Vac 135Vdc.
High brightness types are usually fitted.
LEDs - DC
Colors
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and White.
Voltage
Basic voltage 2.0/2.2V. Some items are available with integral resistors for 12V use.
For details of resistors required for higher voltages, please call sales.
Life
Typically 25,000 hours (Green fluorescent lamps 20,000 hours). (Measured to a point
when the light output of the lamp is half its original level.)
The end of life for a neon lamp is not usually a sudden failure.
Current
Maximum continuous forward current 20mA.
Life
>100,000hrs
False signals due to long wiring
It is possible for neon or fluorescent tubes to glow when they should be off. The false
signal is caused by the capacitance effect of fairly long wiring to the indicator being
adjacent to other live cables. This effect can be prevented in most cases by fitting a 100k
resistor across the supply wires close to the indicator assembly.
LEDs - AC
Colors
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and White.
Voltage
Rated up to 230V ac, suitable for use at 110V and 230V ac.
