Mounts on .875 inches (22.22 mm) horizontal centers or 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) vertical centers. Talk-listen (intercom) function is also available. Illumination technique provides a different color for each lever position.

Standard T-1 3/4 inch midget flange-base lamps (not supplied) are available in voltages up to 28V.
SPECIAL ORDER FEATURES

2. Welded cross bar gold alloy for dry circuit and silver contacts are available.
ILLUMINATION
A single internal lamp provides brilliant lever lighting in any color required.

One-color (all positions) and non-illuminated switches can be specified on special order. Switchcraft will install filters for non-standard illumination requirements at nominal cost on special order.

MOUNTING
Grasp fingernail slots on opposite sides of escutcheon and snap out. Next, grasp lever and pull lever assembly free. Insert switch into panel hole.

Turn two internal screws clockwise with screwdriver to securely mount switch to panel.

Replace lever assembly and "snap" escutcheon into place. Installation complete!
RELAMPING/REPLACING COLOR FILTERS

Lever-Lite III switches are designed for simplified lamp installation and replacement, and color filter changes or custom installation in the field or on the OEM production line. Lamps and filters may be changed at any time with ease and without dismounting switch from panel or disturbing wiring.
Remove escutcheon and lever assembly. (see "MOUNTING" above) For relamping, pull lamp out of retainer with finger-tip. Replace lamp.

For color filters, use fingernails or small screwdriver to remove. Gently lift (don't pry) up under edge of filter until it "pops" out.

Place new filter in position and press until it "snaps" in. Replace lever assembly and escutcheon. (see "MOUNTING" above)
