Product catalog summary
Specifications
The document details the specifications for rotary ampermeter and voltmeter switches, specifically the SWITCHES F1Pxx series. These switches are designed for use in various environments including direct current systems, high-frequency installations, maritime and offshore applications, and dusty environments. They are suitable for control switches, meter selecting switches, and main circuit switches for equipment like motors and lighting.

Design and Construction
Santon switches are maintenance-free under normal use and are delivered for panel mounting. Proper installation requires using two spanners for bolt and nut connections to avoid pressure on plastic discs. Recommended torque values are provided for different bolt sizes. The switches must be protected from dust, dirt, aggressive fumes, and liquids during storage and use.

Standards and Ratings
The switches comply with standards IEC947, IEC204, CEE24, VDE0630, VDE0660, VDE113, and BS5419. They have a rated voltage of up to 690V and a nominal current of 20A. Overcurrent ratings are specified for different time intervals.

Dimensions and Weight
Dimensions and weights are provided for different models: D41 & D54 (48 x 48 x 52mm, 93g) and D43 & T90 (48 x 48 x 65mm, 114g). Cable cross-section ranges from 0.5mm² to 2.5mm².

Ordering Information
Examples of ordering include F1P-D41 for voltmeter switches with 3 positions plus OFF, F1P-D43 for voltmeter switches with 3+0+3 positions, F1P-D54 for ampermeter switches (2W3 or 2R3) with 3+0 positions, and F1P-T90 for ampermeter switches (3W4 or 3R4) with 3 positions.

Usage Recommendations
It is recommended to check switches that are rarely operated once a year and to switch them several times during the check. Proper fitting tools should be used for installation and maintenance.

Switches F1Pxx Series-1

ROTARY AMPERMETER AND VOLTMETER SWITCHES SWITCHES F1Pxx • For panel mounting • For use in Industry, Maritime and offshore, Machine Building • The switches are built in accordance with the standards laid down in IEC947, IEC204, CEE24, VDE0630, VDE0660, VDE113, BS5419 • Switches could be delivered with requested text on plate Dimension & drilling plan Specifications Rated Voltage: Rated Current: Rated Overcurrent: Dimensions: Weight: Cable crosssection: Escutcheon plate Knob Description Santon switches are suitable for use in direct current systems, installations for higher frequencies, installations on board of ships, mobile installations, in dusty environments or where switching is very infrequent. They are suitable not only for use as control switches of multiple circuits, or as meter selecting switches, but also for use in main circuits as on load switches, such as motor switches, for operating machines, heating equipment, welding equipment, ovens, lighting equipment etc. When used normally, Santon switches are maintenance-free. Switches delivered for panel mounting plates. When securing the handle, do not tighten the screw more than is necessary. Always use 2 spanners for bolt and nut connections so that no pressure is exerted on the plastic discs. Use properly fitting tools and use the following torques as maximum values: for M4 - 1,4 Nm, for M6 - 5 Nm, for M8 - 20 Nm and for M10 - 40 Nm. The switches must, both during storage and during use, be protected against dust, dirt, agressive fumes and liquids. This needs to be checked from time to time and when doing so, switch fixings and terminal connections should also be verified. The frequency will very much depend upon the intensity of use. It is, however, recommended to have switches that are rarely operated, checked once a year, and when doing so, switched several times.
