2.2 CONTROL UNITS
2.2.a Microswitches
- Microswitches should have a contact resistance lower than 0.1W , and a leakage
current lower than 100 µA.
- When full load current is being drawn, the voltage drop across the Key Switch con
tact must be lower than 0.1V.
- If an Electromagnetic Brake is used, the Handle Microswitch must be able to operate
the Brake Coil.
- The Microswitches send a voltage signal to the microprocessor when an operating
request (running) is made.
