ROTO-<strong>TEST</strong> Switches<br />
Roto-Test Switch – Design and Construction<br />
Heavy brass terminals with<br />
wire holders.<br />
Drawn copper<br />
contact blades and<br />
blade assembly.<br />
Die cast rotor flange<br />
and bearing.<br />
One piece Textolite<br />
(Bakelite) case with<br />
removable top and<br />
bottom covers.<br />
Specially designed<br />
phosphor bronze<br />
contact clips. Potential<br />
jaws are shorter than<br />
current jaws so<br />
potential contact is<br />
broken before current<br />
contact is made.<br />
Textolite rotor mounted<br />
on square steel shaft.<br />
Extra strong mounting<br />
inserts molded in case.<br />
Design & Construction Features<br />
SIMPLE AND<br />
EFFICIENT<br />
Meter Devices Roto-Test Switch is<br />
extremely simple and efficient in<br />
design and compact in<br />
construction. Mechanically and<br />
electrically, its construction is as<br />
close to perfect as humanly<br />
possible.<br />
SAVES SPACE<br />
With numerous instruments now<br />
used on a single panel, space is at<br />
a premium. The Roto-Test Switch<br />
saves space, requiring only a 4"x4"<br />
area on the board. The Roto-Test<br />
Switch can be applied to any type<br />
of switchboard for use with any<br />
standard make of instruments,<br />
meters, relays, etc.<br />
SAVES TIME IN<br />
<strong>TEST</strong>ING<br />
The Roto-Test Switch reduces<br />
testing time to a minimum. A turn<br />
of the key throws the switch into<br />
the testing position without<br />
disconnecting the instruments or<br />
meters from service. Testing is<br />
completed in as little as 60<br />
seconds. Compared to other<br />
methods, Meter Devices Roto-Test<br />
Switch operates in a fraction of the<br />
time.<br />
Operators can test many more<br />
applications per day. The number<br />
of testers required is materially<br />
reduced. Substantial savings in<br />
maintenance costs are realized.<br />
CASE<br />
One piece Textolite (Bakelite) case<br />
with removable top and bottom<br />
covers. Extra strong brass inserts<br />
and reinforcing ribs are molded<br />
into the case. Die cast rotor flange<br />
and bearing provide years of<br />
trouble free operation. Heavy brass<br />
terminals and wire holders are<br />
standard.<br />
CONTACT JAWS &<br />
BLADES<br />
The contact jaws are a Meter<br />
Devices exclusive! The doublespring,<br />
phosphor-bronze jaws are<br />
fortified with high conductivity<br />
phosphor bronze reinforcing clips.<br />
The jaw is a spring in itself and will<br />
not spread, assuring perfect<br />
contact, low resistance and no<br />
overheating.<br />
