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.

Information to show or reference

  • Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
  • Document the release/reset action and the NO or NC contacts actually fitted.
  • Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

A distinction that matters

Latching behaviour differs from the pull-cord actuation method alone.
