Description
The Type 304 and 304L switches are normally
mounted on a control valve actuator to operate
alarms, signal lights, relays, solenoid valves, or other
equipment when valve travel reaches predetermined
points.
The Type 304 position switch (see figure 1) is for ap-
plications that require only one or two switches. The
Type 304L position switch is for applications that re-
quire three or more switches with a maximum of six
switches (see figure 3). The individual switches can be
adjusted to operate at any point of travel within the 90
degrees of cam rod rotation.
Specifications
Specifications for the Type 304 and 304L electrical
