Manufacturer of remote racking and switching systems for low- and medium-voltage switchgear CBS ArcSafe recently introduced its RSK-CSH-W Chicken Switch Hitter.
The RSK-CSH-W is a wireless remote switching kit (RSK) designed to offer broad compatibility with single and dual pushbutton applications and breaker control switches.
The RSK-CSH-W expands CBS ArcSafe’s Chicken Switch family of electrical safety devices.
CBS ArcSafe said production is underway and orders will open Dec. 1.
The device operates pushbutton applications that are spaced 3 inches or less center-to-center and require less than 10 pounds of push force, and breaker control switches with pistol grip handles such as the Electroswitch Series 24/24P and GE SB-1.
CBS Arcsafe said this versatility allows operators to safely complete multiple switching tasks with a single tool from up to 100 feet away, well outside the arc flash boundary.
Powered by Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery technology, the system attaches magnetically to switchgear without requiring modifications or equipment downtime.
An integrated laser alignment system ensures precise positioning, while the motorized actuator and dual-adjustable linear actuators ensure reliable operation across various equipment setups from multiple OEMs.
CBS Arcsafe said the Chicken Switch Hitter's design ensures compatibility with various equipment types, such as insulated case circuit breakers, air circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers, and motor control centers, from manufacturers including ABB, Eaton, General Electric, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Square D. It offers standardized remote switching for facilities with diverse electrical equipment.
The RSK-CSH-W kit includes the actuator assembly, power/communications base, wireless handheld controller with 100-foot line-of-sight range, rechargeable battery, charger, and waterproof case.
All CBS ArcSafe products are manufactured in the United States at the company’s facility in Denton, Texas.
