FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this rotary handle?

The primary purpose is to allow for the convenient and safe operation (switching ON/OFF and isolation) of a switch disconnector, specifically the INSE80, from the front of a control panel, even when the switch itself is mounted at the back.

Can I lock the handle in the OFF position?

What switch models is this handle compatible with?

What do the IP55 and IK08 ratings mean?

IP55 means the handle is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. IK08 means it is protected against moderate impact (equivalent to a 1.5 kg mass dropped from a height of 5 meters).

Is this product environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is designated as a Green Premium product, indicating compliance with specific environmental standards and regulations regarding hazardous substances and product lifecycle.

Are padlocks included with the rotary handle?

How should I clean the rotary handle?

Troubleshooting

Handle does not operate the switch

Verify that the handle is correctly aligned and securely attached to the switch mechanism. Ensure the correct switch model (INSE80) is being used.

Locking mechanism is stiff or won't engage

Check for any obstructions in the padlock holes. Ensure you are using padlocks of an appropriate size and that they are inserted correctly. Clean the locking mechanism if necessary.

Handle appears loose or wobbly

Re-check the mounting screws or fasteners that attach the handle to the switch. Ensure they are tightened according to the installation specifications.
