Features & Benefits

S5C-Cut-Away9-min

  • A. Enclosure

    The compact low profile weatherproof VSM is UL certified NEMA Type 4, 4x and IP66/67/68. Aluminum base and cover for exceptional corrosion, wear and impact resistance.

  • B. High Visibility Position Indicator

    Visual open and closed indication is provided with an impact resistant dome style indicator. Inverting the open and closed visual output is easily done by rotating the indicator dome 90 degrees. There is no need to remove the switchbox aluminum cover and expose internal wiring of the VSM to change position indication.

  • C. Stub Shaft Secondary Seal

    Ensures indicator area is separate from the VSM’s internals. Provides a secondary seal to prevent water ingress should the dome or dome seal become compromised due to adverse site conditions.

  • D. Captive Cover Bolts

    The cover is attached to the base by captive stainless steel bolts placed outside the sealing area.

  • E. Washers

    Stainless steel corrosion resistant washers provide larger contact surface for the captive bolts to secure the cover to the base.

  • F. O-Ring Seal for Watertight Enclosure

    The O-ring seal between the cover and base provides a weatherproof seal to prevent water ingress and internal corrosion.

  • G. Sensor Cams

    Splined cam design allows for easy and accurate setting of switch activation without the use of tools.

  • H. Limit Switches

    Up to six switch options and configurations to meet connectivity requirements.

  • I. Terminals

    Clearly marked terminal blocks are angled towards the user to ensure easy access.

  • J. Conduit Entries

    Three conduit entries available in either imperial or metric threads.

  • K. Grounding

    Green color-coded, easy-access grounding bolt.
