It’s a fast, convenient way to get many CR104Ps right now! There’s a CR104P operators for every operation. All CR104P operators are heavy-duty and oiltight. Complete push button units are factory assembled, ready for mounting, or you can order only the specific parts and accessories you need. Push buttons Selector switches Snap on. Snap off. When you turn a CR104P selector switch, its positive snap lets you know, for sure, what position you’re in. And the molded-in white pointer never wears off. Choose 2-, 3- or 4-position switches with maintained or spring return combinations. The standard push button comes with one of eight bright cap colors or clear. It’s a simple thing to change the cap color, and available kits let you maintain large flexibility with small inventory. That’s true, too, with the interchangeable mounting rings, which make it easy to configure the same push button as recessed, flush or extended. Easy-grip knob selector switches come in black, red, green, yellow or blue. Knobs can be easily changed out, and special order color knobs are available. Mushroom head push buttons come in either 1 3/8" or 2 3/8" diameters and in red, yellow, green or black. Big wing lever selector switches – in black or chrome- Their high visibility makes them ideal for priority plated – are easy to see and easy to handle, even with functions. A push-to-latch/turn-to-reset form features gloved hands. an embossed arrow to clarify the reset action. Keyed cylinder-lock types protect against unauthorized operations.

You can even change it into a lever- Choose illuminated and non-illuminated; 2-position operated switch. maintained, 3-position momentary and momentary/ maintained; and caps and lenses in 7 different colors. Cylinder-lock forms add security and are lockable in your choice of positions: free, depressed or both and in press lock/key release forms. So you control what you want to control. Illuminated forms Indicating lights Light up your control board with shining red, green, The purpose of indicating lights is to be able to see yellow, amber, blue, white and clear push button, what’s going on. CR104P indicating lights fulfill that mushroom head and selector switch operators, in full purpose clearly, with bright optics and visibility from voltage, transformer and resistor forms. both front and sides. Several rugged, long-life types are available. Choose green, yellow, amber, blue, white or clear lenses and full voltage, transformer or resistor types. Illuminated push buttons are available in momentary, maintained push-pull, and push-push (push once to activate, push again to release). They can also be Standard indicating lights provide the bright equipped with a dual input function for remote-test annunciation required in industrial applications. operation. A dual input illuminated push button and indicating Illuminated selector switches feature a knob-shaped light allows a number of lights to be tested from a plastic lens that fits over the lamp to give bright, single test button without operating the control circuit. luminous color.

Cluster lights deliver two or four indicating light functions in the space of a single unit. A divider separates the white lens into sectors, and red, green, yellow or blue silicone rubber caps add vibrant color. Push-to-test indicating lights allow the lamp to be checked simply by pushing the lens, which cuts the time needed to check lamp function. Alone, side by side or in tandem, the five versions of CR104P contacts blocks combine to address any circuit. A single captive screw and locator pin make stacking and installation quick and easy. A clear viewing window allows for instant contact inspection. Color-coded plungers simplify contact identification: Plunger color Contact Green 1NO Red 1NC White 1NO/1NC, 1NO (late), 1NC (early) For special applications, choose an early make- normally open or late break-normally closed block. For low-level circuits, standard contact blocks are available with gold flashed contact surfaces; these are recommended to non-arcing loads below 48 volts. Logic reed contacts are hermetically sealed in a glass reed switch to protect against contaminants in the surrounding atmosphere. These are ideal for low- voltage levels typically available from programmed controls and computer systems (24 volts and below), and for use in hostile environments at voltages up to 120 Vac. They are UL Listed for use in Division 2 hazardous locations.
