S14 Convenient Switches

Installation and User Guide (09/04)

„Rugged metal case, Industrial grade

S14-Series are packaged in a rugged sheet metal enclosures to ensure durability and noise immunity, even when placed in extended temperature environments or high EMI noise sites; e.g industrial or outdoor applications.

„AC and DC Power Supplies with extended temperature ratings

S14-Series power input may be a variety of types, external AC and internal DC at 12V, 24V, or -48VDC. AC may be at extreme temperatures.

„DC-input models can operate as dual-source

The 12V DC jack is present on DC-input models, so that the unit can operate from an external AC PS, or from DC applied to the terminal block, either or both present. Dual-source power may increase availability, or be convenience to move the unit from a test lab out to the factory floor.

„Efficient Compact design, for all-purpose convenient mounting

Featuring a compact metal case, Magnum S14-Series can be installed in minimal space in rack-mount MC14-TRAY, on DIN-Rail (optional), or panel-mounted.
