The Busch Jaeger cover 1785-83 is a two-piece switchgear component made of plastic, specifically designed as a cover for UP series switches, toggle and changeover switches, as well as double pushbuttons. It is supplied in a closed version and is part of the design lines Platform 63, future® linear, and Busch-axcent®, supporting the variants Busch-axcent® and Busch-axcent® pur. The cover serves optical integration in electrical installations and provides a uniform surface appearance for switches in various systems.

Applications

The cover is intended for use in indoor environments where a protective and aesthetically pleasing cover for switches is required. It is not suitable for bus system pushbutton connections and serves exclusively as a mechanical and optical cover for conventional switch types. The use is in electrical installations aligned with Platform 63, and it is particularly suitable for applications where uniform design of switch fronts is prioritized.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cover is made of a thermoplastic material with a lacquered, matte surface in the colour aluminium, corresponding to RAL number 9006. It is not tactile and offers no possibility for labelling or exchanging lenses or symbols. The surface is not treated with antibacterial agents, and there is no control window or light outlet. The fastening is achieved via a clamp fastening, ensuring secure mounting on the switches.

Technology Explained Simply

The cover is designed for indoor use and complies with protection class IP20, meaning it is protected against contact with fingers and against solid foreign objects up to 12.5 mm. The impact resistance is IK03, indicating low mechanical durability against shocks and vibrations. The dimensions are 63 mm height, 63 mm width, and 20 mm depth, matching the standard size for switches in Platform 63. The cover is not halogen-free.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cover is specifically designed for UP series switches, toggle and changeover switches, as well as double pushbuttons. It is not suitable for bus system pushbutton connections. Compatibility is limited to the design lines Platform 63, future® linear, and Busch-axcent®, supporting the variants Busch-axcent® and Busch-axcent® pur.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done via a clamp fastening, enabling secure and easy attachment to the switches. The cover is placed onto the switches and fixed using the clamp connection. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. Installation follows the usual procedure for switch covers in Platform 63.

Advantages in Operation

The cover provides a uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance for switches in various systems. The matte surface in aluminium colour ensures a discreet and modern look. The clamp fastening ensures secure mounting, and the dimensions match the standard of Platform 63, enabling easy integration into existing installations. The cover is not suitable for outdoor use or in environments with increased mechanical stress.
