Transfer Switch LW1216/4 Silver dot 4 Sections 3 Gear Forward and Reverse Combination Switch Overview This LW1216/4 transfer switch provides combined forward, neutral, and reverse control in a compact, multisection format. Designed for panel mounting, the switch integrates four separate switching sections and a threeposition actuator to control direction and circuit routing without additional components. Key benefits Simple directional control: Single operator action selects forward, neutral, or reverse, reducing wiring complexity and operator error. Multicircuit capability: Four independent sections let you control multiple circuits or phases from one switch body for coordinated operation. Reliable contact material: Silver dot contact points improve electrical conductivity and provide consistent switching performance over repeated cycles. Spaceefficient: Compact panelmount form factor saves panel space and is suitable for retrofit or control panels. Clear function separation: Separate sections keep circuits isolated when required, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting. Features and specifications Model: LW1216/4 Configuration: 4 switching sections with a 3position actuator for forward, neutral, and reverse Contact type: Silver dot contacts for stable conductivity Function: Transfer switch for directional control and circuit switching Mounting: Panel mount, suitable for integration into control panels and operator stations Construction: Durable mechanical assembly intended for repeated manual operation Compatibility and typical applications Suitable for use with motor starters and control circuits where forward and reverse operation is needed Works with small motors, conveyors, machine tools, and other equipment requiring manual direction selection Can be used in control panels, test benches, and industrial machinery interfaces Practical use scenarios 1. Workshop machine control Install the switch in a lathe or milling machine control panel to provide a single control for forward, stop, and reverse motor directions while keeping control circuits segregated. 2. Conveyor direction control Use the switch to change conveyor belt direction in a production cell. The four sections allow auxiliary circuits such as indicator lamps or interlocks to be switched in sync with motor direction. 3. Equipment test and bench setups Integrate the switch into a test bench to manually reverse motor rotation and switch measurement circuits without rewiring, streamlining setup and diagnostics. Installation notes Designed for panel mounting; confirm cutout compatibility with LW12 series panel openings. Follow standard wiring practices for the load and control voltages in use. Ensure appropriate upstream protection and motor starters are in place as required by the installation. Why choose this switch This LW1216/4 transfer switch combines directional control and multisection switching in a compact package, offering reliable contact performance and straightforward integration into control panels. It is a practical choice when space efficiency, clear circuit separation, and manual forward and reverse control are required.
