Lockable test button and mechanical flag indicator
(0040)
The dual-purpose Finder test button can be used in two ways:
Case 1
) The plastic pip (located directly above the test button) remains intact. In this case, when the
test button is pushed, the contacts operate. When the test button is released the contacts return to their
former state.
Case 2)
The plastic pip is broken-off (using an appropriate cutting tool). In this case, (in addition to
the above function), when the test button is pushed and rotated, the contacts are latched in the
operating state, and remain so until the test button is rotated back to its former position.
In both cases ensure that the test button actuation is swift and decisive.
