• Treadle and housing constructed from cast iron for strength and durability
• Protected by a strong cast aluminum shield
• Painted Alert Orange
• Single 3/4"-14 NPT threaded conduit entry is standard
• Designed for use with variable speed motor drives and available in selected 2 watt linear values
• Depressing the treadle rotates the potentiometer from zero to the selected maximum resistance
• Treadle is spring loaded and returns to normal position when foot pressure is removed
• Auxiliary switch contact (optional) rated at 15A 125-250 VAC
• Switch operates at the beginning of the treadle stroke; up to 3 SPDT switches can be added and adjusted to operate at any point of the stroke
