Toggle Switches

The WT223S1D1CQ is a type of toggle switch typically used in applications such as lighting, HVAC, or appliance control. Toggle switches are manually operated, mechanical switches that open and close circuits by means of a simple lever movement, and use an easily understood “on” and “off” visual indicator.

Features

The WT223S1D1CQ has a number of features that make it ideal for a variety of applications. The switch is rated for 30A at 120/277VAC, which makes it suitable for controlling both high and low voltage appliances. It’s also IP44 rated for dust and water resistance, and is UL approved for damp locations. Additionally, the switch has an audible click and a positive-action lever reset that makes it easy to identify when the switch is in the “on” or “off” position.

Installation

The WT223S1D1CQ is a surface-mount switch that requires a ½ inch knockout in the wall or enclosure for installation. The switch can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and wiring is quick and easy with standard wire nuts. Care should be taken when installing the switch to ensure that the voltage rating of the switch is appropriate for the application, and that all wiring is correctly connected and protected from heat and mechanical damage.

Operation

When the toggle switch is installed, it will be in the off position. To activate the switch and turn the light or appliance on, the user must toggle the switch to the opposite position. The switch has a positive action lever reset, so when the switch is in the on position it will remain in that position until it is manually reset. To turn the light or appliance off, the user must again toggle the switch to the opposite position.

Conclusion
