Whatever your application, our Contura
switches deliver the performance you demand — and the flexibility you
need. There’s no challenge these sealed switches can’t help you address.
Especially since they’re IP66/IP68 certified, UL1500 recognized, and
able to withstand temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Never have such
rugged switches been available in such attractive packages. Adazzling
array of light, lens and legend options on several actuator styles,
plus countless circuit combinations, and valuable accessories, make
our Contura switches the ideal choice. |

V-Series switches offer countless
unique options including choices for ratings, colors, illuminations
and symbols. These switches feature removable actuators in a choice
of actuator styles and colors, and are available in single or double
pole configurations. The V-Series switches can be illuminated with either
square, oval and/or bar shaped lenses. |
 |
The Contura II actuators are constructed of thermoplastic polycarbonate,
and are offeredwith either a hard nylon overlay, or a “soft-touch” elastomer
overlay. The Contura II incor-porates an aesthetic design of two rows
of raised “bumps” on the top and bottom of the rocker. |
 |
The Contura III actuators are constructed of thermoplastic polycarbonate,
and are offered with either a hard nylon over lay, or a “soft-touch”
elastomer overlay. The Contura III incorporates three rows of bars on
the top and bottom of the rocker. |
 |
The Contura IV’s “Shape to create a Shape” actuator suports the designer,
by working with the curves, contours and advanced styling of the latest
panel designs, flowing with these advanced curves and radii. This actuator
style fits on the Contura II & III flush bracket/bezel. |
 |
The symmetrically curved Contura V actuator provides the perfect complement
to the Contura IV’s “Shape to create a Shape”design concept. It can
be mounted in between two Contura IV’s, by itself, or in groups. This
actuator style is available with all flush style mounting brackets. |
 |
The raised bracket/bezel on the Contura X helps prevent inadvertent
actuation of the rocker, as well as preventing debris from being trapped
under the actuator. The conventionally designed actuators are available
with one-piece bar lenses, or square lenses in either one or two part
construction with backlit legends, for increased durability of lens
symbols. |
 |
The raised bracket/bezel on the Contura XI helps prevent inadvertent
actuation of the rocker, as well as preventing debris from being trapped
under the actuator. The actuators are available with onepiece bar lenses,
or square lenses in either one or two part construction with backlit
legends, for increased durability of lens symbols. |
 |
The Contura XII version incorporates a paddle style handle on the raised
bracket/bezel, also used in the Contura X and XI switch. The contoured
handle design provides intuitive recognition and ease of operation for
a variety of transportation related applications, and is available with
all Contura X and XI lens and legend offerings. |
 |
The Illuminated Plug is offered with removable/ replaceable lamps, Contura
II, V and X styling, and LED illumination. As a critical safety feature,
it’s illumination alerts the operator of essential system functions
or malfunctions like: oil pressure, high temperature, transmission or
other fluid levels, parking brake, or general system malfunction. |

Carling Technologies also offers
many V-Series accessories including connectors, mounting panels, hole
plugs, panel seals, and actuator removal tools. |

Sealed version: IP68, in accordance
with IEC 529, BS 5490, DIN 400 50 & NFC 20 010. This rating applies
to front panel components and signifies protection against dust and
the prolonged effects of immersion under pressure. The standard test
for mmersion under pressure requires submersion under one meter of
water for 30 minutes. The V-Series switch has exceeded these parameters,
having been actuated and illuminated during submersion.
NOTE: Sealed switch with optionalpanel gasket will meet IP67 rating.
