## What it represents

This representation distinguishes a pull-cord actuator whose operated state is latched.
Document the release/reset action and the NO or NC contacts actually fitted.
Latching behaviour differs from the pull-cord actuation method alone.

## How to read it

- Document the release/reset action and the NO or NC contacts actually fitted.
- Latching behaviour differs from the pull-cord actuation method alone.
