| Approvals | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| CE Conformity Marks | The CE-marking is a regulatory community sign that has to be obligatorily affixed on industrial products conforming to European Union standards. However, the CE-mark is not yet a quality mark. | ||
| CSA Mark (US, C and US, NRTL/C) | The CSA Mark may appear alone or with indicators. If it appears alone, it means that the product is certified for the Canadian market, to the applicable Canadian standards. If this Mark appears with the indicator "C and US" or "NRTL/C" it means that the product is certified for both the U.S. and Canadian markets, to the applicable U.S. and Canadian standards. | ||
| UL Listing Mark | The UL Listing Mark denotes that samples of a product meet the safety requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL). These requirements are mostly based on UL's published Standards for Safety. | ||

| Momentary On | Feature in which the switch maintains its position for only as long as it is positively loaded or actuated; returns to unloaded position when it is let go. | ||
| Optional Coded Outputs | Switch can be configured to provide coded output, such as BCD or Octal. | ||
| Weather Resistant / Waterproof | Hermetically sealed against moisture. | ||
| Wiping Contacts | Self-cleaning and usually low resistance. Wiping action creates mechanical wear. | ||

| Guarded Positions | A switch position that requires a special action, such as pushing or pulling the shaft, in order to change position. | ||
| Integral Potentiometer | Switch includes a potentiometer as part of the assembly. | ||
| Keylocking Toggle | This mechanism uses an open slot instead of a traditional toggle, allowing for the straight insertion of a key that can be toggled up (ON) or down (OFF). Keylocking toggles are used to prevent unauthorized personnel from accidentally shutting off the power or tampering with the switching of the branch circuit load. | ||
| Tease Proof | Prevents switch mechanism from remaining between positions after removal of force. | ||
