  If your socomec Switch cannot be switched over using the handle, consider the following checks: * Verify the direction of rotation of the handle: manual switchover from position 1 to position 2 is executed clockwise, and the return operation is executed anticlockwise. * Ensure that the product is not padlocked. * Use the handle extension on the ALLEN key to check that the appropriate adjustment torque is applied. * When using a single auxiliary contact, check that the length of the screws used is not greater than 20 mm.

  If AUTOMATIC mode is not activated on your socomec Switch even when the cover is closed, check that the plastic pin is in place and hitting the sensor on the bottom of the cover. This pin activates the sensor, which indicates the position of the cover (open or closed).
