Operator Mounting & Sequence

Operator Mounting - Vertical vs. Horizontal Definition

Due to the design of the enclosures, operators are mounted in both a vertical and horizontal orientation. The easiest way to visualize the operator orientation is by observing the contact block direction attached to the operators . If the contact blocks are mounted vertically the operator is mounted vertically in the enclosure. Vertical mounted operators are only found in position 2 & 3 of the 3-hole enclosure. If the contact blocks are mounted horizontally the operator is mounted horizontally in the enclosure. Horizontal mounted operators are found in position 1 of the 3-hole enclosure and all positions of the 5-...9-hole enclosures. It is necessary to know this when ordering individual operators for populating at the customer location.

Operator Sequence when using a Mechanical Interlock

The 1-, 2-, and 3-speed operators can be mounted with either our standard Cat. No. 800F‑ALP latch or a mechanical interlocking latch (Cat. No. 800FC‑ALP).
For the 3-hole enclosure, the mechanical interlock can only be located in positions 2 & 3, with the black operator being located in position 2 and the white operator being located in position 3.
For the 5-…9-hole enclosures, the mechanical interlock can be located in any two adjacent positions. For the 5-…9-hole enclosures, the white operator will be located in position X of the mechanical interlock and the black operator will be located in position X+1 of the mechanical interlock.

3-Hole Enclosure⋆		5-Hole Enclosure‡		7-Hole Enclosure‡		9-Hole Enclosure‡
⋆ Operator in Position 1 is mounted horizontal, contact blocks are horizontal. Operators in Positions 2 & 3 are mounted vertical, contact blocks are vertical.
‡ Operators in all positions are mounted horizontal, contact blocks are horizontal.
