# AutomationDirect CFS-AUX switch auxiliary contact Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/objects/ga-cfs-aux-05d56d754a93 Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-10-29 Lookup label: CFS-AUX Drawing use: GA Reference families: Manufacturer CFS-AUX switch auxiliary contact arrangement: mounting, interface and service-space coordination. ## In plain English ### What it does CFS-AUX is the drawing identifier for switch auxiliary contact in AutomationDirect's Gladiator CFS Series Disconnects collection. A switch auxiliary contact provides a selected control-circuit interface associated with the switch position or operation. It is different from the main power contacts and from the switch handle or operating shaft. ### A simple example For example, in a microgrid installation with a machine control panel reporting the selected disconnect-switch state, use the CFS-AUX reference to coordinate switch attachment, auxiliary terminals and control-wiring access. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement. ### What the drawings help you do Use the reviewed native drawing identified as Power Products/Gladiator CFS Series Disconnects/CFS-AUX.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details. ### Before using this reference - Match CFS-AUX, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule. - Identify the compatible switch and the documented auxiliary-contact circuit. - Coordinate switch attachment, auxiliary terminals and control-wiring access with neighbouring equipment. - Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details. ### Terms - Drawing identity: The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration. - Interface: The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part. - Service space: The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed. Concept diagram: Identify CFS-AUX → Coordinate switch auxiliary contact → Confirm the selected installation A practical coordination sequence for this named equipment reference. It is not an electrical connection diagram. - [AutomationDirect Gladiator CFS Series Disconnects official CAD source](https://support.automationdirect.com/docs/drawings.html) ## What it represents CFS-AUX is the drawing identifier for switch auxiliary contact in AutomationDirect's Gladiator CFS Series Disconnects collection.

A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance. ## Information to show or reference - Match CFS-AUX, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule. - Identify the compatible switch and the documented auxiliary-contact circuit. - Coordinate switch attachment, auxiliary terminals and control-wiring access with neighbouring equipment. - Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details. ## Important distinction This reference concerns the named CFS-AUX drawing and its switch auxiliary contact role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance. ## Facts - Manufacturer source: AutomationDirect - Native drawing identity: CFS-AUX - Reviewed equipment role: switch auxiliary contact - CAD scope: Gladiator CFS Series Disconnects - Preview scope: Source-matched manufacturer drawings where available; illustrative 3D is separate and not to scale ## Public references - [AutomationDirect Gladiator CFS Series Disconnects official CAD source](https://support.automationdirect.com/docs/drawings.html) — AutomationDirect.
