Incandescent, LED, and neon lamps. Front panel relamping.
Choice of bright or super bright LEDs in red, amber, green,
white, and blue.
Latchdown feature gives indication of circuit status. Audible
and tactile feedback with smooth and responsive operation.

A partitioned plastic guard is supplied with each switch to provide insulation between terminals.
Installation steps:
(1) Identify wire-to-terminal connections.
(2) Thread wires through the guard.
(3) Solder the connections.
(4) Push the guard fully onto the switch body.

LAMP CODES & SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical specifications are determined at a basic temperature of 25°C. Lamp circuit is independent of switch operation.
For dimension drawings of lamps see the Accessories & Hardware Index (page Y1).
If the source voltage is greater than rated voltage, a ballast resistor is required. The ballast resistor calculation and more lamp
detail are shown in the Supplement; see Supplement Index (page Z1).
Ambient Temperature Range for lamps below: -25°C ~ +50°C.
