10250T contact block assembly
Push–pull operators
Application guide
To assist in the selection of contact blocks, the diagram on page 1
shows pictorially by symbols “A” and “B” locations of contact
circuits after assembly of contact blocks to the operator. Table 1 and
Table 2 show the effect of the push and pull operations on either
NO or NC contacts.
A maximum of two contact blocks may be used with each operator.
Maximum torque of stacking screws is 9 in-lbs. Adding more
than two blocks may cause this switch to malfunction. Single
circuit contact must be mounted under circuit “A”. Special function
contact blocks are not available for use with the three-position
push–pull operator.
ote: N Buttons and lenses in various colors are ordered and packaged sepa-
rately. This pushbutton unit is oiltight when the adapter gasket and button or
lens gasket are securely tightened.
