How are cables routed into the enclosure?

A rubber stepped cable entry accommodates 7 to 15mm cables and provides a sealed Interface to maintain the IP65 rating.

What contact arrangements are provided for the directional buttons?

Each direction push-button includes one normally closed and one normally open contact to support raise and lower functions with slow-break operation.

What electrical ratings govern switching performance?

Contacts comply with AC-15 and DC-13 utilisation categories with specified currents up to 3A at 240V AC and lower currents for higher voltages as per IEC 60947-5-1 appendices.

How robust is the unit against mechanical stress?

The device withstands vibration up to 15gn (10 to 500Hz) and shock up to 100gn, with mechanical endurance rated at 1,000,000 cycles.
