B-LINE E34VHBL3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the E34VHBL3 selector switch rated for washdown or outdoor enclosures?
It carries NEMA 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 13 ratings, so it suits rain, hosedown and corrosive washdown environments as well as dust and oil in plant interiors. One caution: where the operator will sit in direct ultraviolet light, use a NEMA 4X 10250T operator instead.
2) What does Cam 3 mean on the E34VHBL3, and does the contact block come with it?
Cam 3 is the contact operating cam built into the operator, and it sets which contacts make and break in each of the three positions. The E34VHBL3 is the operator itself, so the contact blocks are selected and ordered separately to suit your circuit.
3) Is the E34VHBL3 selector switch illuminated?
No. It is a non-illuminated lever operator, so there is no lamp or lamp module to specify. If an operator station needs position indication, that has to come from a separate indicating light.
4) Should I use a lever selector switch or a pushbutton for a Hand-Off-Auto function?
A three-position lever operator like the E34VHBL3 is what you want when the state has to stay put without someone holding it, such as Hand-Off-Auto or Forward-Off-Reverse. Momentary pushbuttons only act while pressed, so they cannot hold a mode selection. The 60 degree throw gives clear tactile position feedback from across the room.
5) What is the exact part number to order for this corrosion resistant selector switch?
Order it as B-Line E34VHBL3, in the E34 series of 30.5 mm corrosion resistant operators. That single number covers the green three-position lever operator with Cam 3.
6) What color is the lever on the B-Line E34VHBL3?
The lever is green, which crews usually read as run or start on a control panel. If you are standardizing an operator station by color code, keep that in mind before mixing it with other levers in the same enclosure.
