    Automatic Transfer Switches for Facility Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Transfer Switches. Automatic Transfer Switches for Facility Lights.
    Restore lighting immediately during power outages. These switches detect when your main power source goes out and shift your lights to a backup, such as a secondary utility source or generator. To comply with UL 924 and help you meet NFPA standards, they turn your lights on at full brightness even if the lights were turned off or dimmed. You can also wire these switches to your fire alarm. Pull the alarm to activate lights to full brightness during emergencies, even without an outage. All have passed testing to meet UL 1008, a safety standard for transfer switches.
    An LED indicator tells you whether lights are running on a primary or backup power source. The indicator also tells you when these switches require maintenance.
    Remote Testing Buttons—Add a remote testing button to check if switches behind the wall or ceiling are working properly.

    Panel-Mount Compact Disconnect Switches

    Install these switches in a panel cutout. Small enough to fit in tight spaces, they handle comparable electrical loads to standard sized switches. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance.

    Enclosed Compact Disconnect Switches

    Small yet mighty, these switches are about as tall and wide as an index card yet durable enough to mount directly to a wall. Don’t be fooled by their size—these switches can handle electrical loads comparable to a standard sized switch.
    These switches cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance.
