G-Series Heavy-Duty Foot Switches — Model Chart
*Notes on Foot Switch Action:
- Momentary Action: Press and hold to turn on, release to turn off (like a car horn).
- Maintained Action: Press down on pedal to turn it on; the unit will stay on until the user presses forward a latch inside the hood to release it back to the “off” position (like a light switch).
- Anti-Trip Action: The user must press forward a safety latch inside the hood before pressing down on the pedal to turn it on. These units then have a momentary action; the user must keep the pedal pressed down in order to keep it on.
Also, two-stage models (models that end in “-2S”) have an additional force added in between the activation of each switch, allowing the user to distinguish between the first and second switches as the pedal is pressed down.
Information regarding G503 Three Switch Models: Includes three switches (each SPDT) inside each unit. G503 models are UL marked but not CSA certified.
Information regarding G504 Four Circuit Models: Ideal for controlling up to four independent circuits, or for switching the circuits operating on different voltages. Each foot switch contains two DPDT switches (with two circuits per switch). Note: There is no Double-Break (Form Z) substitute available for the G504. G504 models are UL marked but not CSA certified.
