Features & Benefits:
- L4079A has two ganged spst switches; breaks two circuits (may be both sides of the power supply) simultaneously
- L4079B has one spst switch
- L4079W is the same as L4079B but has seals for oil applications
- MICRO SWITCH® snap-acting switches are visible through transparent cover
- Switches open automatically but must be reset manually
- Trip-free reset mechanisms do not permit the limiting role of the PressureTrol® Control to be defeated by jamming the reset lever
- Control does not need leveling
- The L4079 is unaffected by moderate vibration
