SL Signal Tower
A clear picture at a glance
Signal towers provide visual and audible signals of machine states. Mounted on the control panel or the machine itself, their signal can also be reliably recognized and identified at a distance.The specially shaped lenses have a Fresnel effect to ensure excellent light levels.
One really major advantage of SL signal towers is that each individual module is freely programmable by simply repositioning a wire link, without needing any additional wiring or tools.
Further advantages:
- Up to five levels can be actuated separately.
- Any combination of continuous light, flashing light, strobe light or acoustic alarm is possible.
- Easy installation method. Plug on the bayonet fitting, turn it slightly - and it's done.
- Several forms of attachment make SL signal towers even more flexible:
direct mounting of the base module, spaced mounting with fixing base and spacer tubes, or wall mounting using fixing brackets - Complete units are available for a wide range of typical applications, making selection easier
Electronic Position Switch
A highlight is the world's first LSE (Limit Switch Electronic) electronic position switch.

P1, P3 and P5 Switch Disconnectors up to 315 A
Like rotary switches, P switch disconnectors are manually operated switching devices without any release or switch mechanism but with a direct link between manual operating element and the contact. The contacts are positively opened on de-energization, and the auxiliary contacts are interlocked opposing contacts.
Switchable "N conductors" and/or "HI21 auxiliary contacts" can be connected to the P1, P3, or P5 switch disconnector with a make and break contact. The auxiliary make contact is always switched as a load shedding contact for control of the contactor. In this manner, the contactor assumes the switching task and the switch-disconnector only needs to disconnect the main current circuit
Typical application for P switch disconnectors, e.g:
Maintenance, repair and safety switch
P switch disconnectors are particularly suitable as safe maintenance and repair switches or as enclosed main switches for individual electrical loads.
Multiple padlocks can be connected in the OFF position. This provides a vital safety function: the no-voltage state is visible and switch on is impossible.
ON/OFF switch
P switch disconnectors provide reliable operation with heating and lighting systems, motors, etc. They are also suited for direct switching of motors. Selection of the switch is performed to suit the rated uninterrupted current or the motor rating in accordance with utilization category AC-23A. In applications where frequent switch on and off operations are necessary, the high switching capacity guarantees reliability.
