Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is this Rees 04964-204 cable-operated switch made of?

A. Rees 04964-204 cable-operated switch's housing & cover have high-quality die-cast aluminium or aluminium construction with yellow powder coating for ruggedness and long-term reliability in various environmental conditions.

Q. How is this Rees 04964-204 cable-operated switch set up & used?

A.

• Secure cables to this Rees switch and adjust the slack cable length in both directions using a turnbuckle.
• Push the reset button to manually reset the contacts.
• Pull one of the trip cables to test the proper functioning of the switch. Reset the contacts and then test the switch using another trip cable. Simultaneous pulling of both cables with equal force does not actuate the switch.
• After applying control circuit power, reset the contacts and then repeat the earlier step.

Q. What is the environmental temperature range of this Rees 04964-204 cable-operated switch?

A. Rees 04964-204 cable-operated switch can operate at temperatures ranging from 32 to 131 degrees F (0 to 55 degrees C). It can be stored at temperatures ranging from -40 to 185 degrees F (-40 to 85 degrees C).
