ANSI/IEEE Latched foot-operated switch form
IEEE-library form of latched foot-operated switch: this representation distinguishes a foot actuator with a retained operated state.
In plain English
What does ANSI/IEEE Latched foot-operated switch form mean?
This reference locates latched foot-operated switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous switches family. This representation distinguishes a foot operating mechanism with a retained operated state. The public library uses HFT11L for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.
A simple example
Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.
What the drawings help you do
Show reset/release behaviour and the associated contact conditions. A latched pedal should not be read as a momentary foot switch. Show reset/release behaviour and the associated contact conditions. A latched pedal should not be read as a momentary foot switch. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.
