CBS ArcSafe® Introduces the RSK-CSH-W Chicken Switch Hitter
The world of electrical safety just took a significant leap forward with the introduction of the RSK-CSH-W Chicken Switch Hitter by CBS ArcSafe®, a renowned manufacturer specializing in remote racking and switching solutions tailored for low and medium-voltage switchgear. This innovative product is set to enhance operational safety, especially in environments where electrical equipment is managed.
Versatility in Design and Application
The RSK-CSH-W is engineered to work seamlessly with both single and dual pushbutton applications, as well as breaker control switches, a capability that expands on the existing Chicken Switch family of devices. With the ability to operate pushbutton applications spaced up to 3 inches apart and requiring minimal force (under 10 pounds), coupled with a design that accommodates various breaker control switches, this tool caters to a myriad of operational needs.
One of the standout features of the RSK-CSH-W is its wireless capability, allowing operators to execute switching tasks from an impressive distance of up to 100 feet—significantly beyond the arc flash boundary, thereby prioritizing safety.
Technology at its Best
The Chicken Switch Hitter is powered by Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery technology, offering high-efficiency and reliability. The device attaches magnetically to switchgear, which means it can be deployed without causing any modifications to existing equipment or causing unwarranted downtime. Such seamless integration into current systems can aid in reducing operational interruptions, a crucial factor for many industrial facilities.
The incorporation of an integrated laser alignment system ensures precise positioning for enhanced effectiveness, while the motorized actuator, alongside dual-adjustable linear actuators, guarantees consistent performance across various equipment setups from different OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
Broad Compatibility for Diverse Equipment
Understanding that one size does not fit all, the RSK-CSH-W is designed to be compatible with numerous equipment types, including insulated case circuit breakers, air circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers, and motor control centers. It supports devices manufactured by industry leaders such as ABB, Eaton, General Electric, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Square D. This wide compatibility provides users not only flexibility but also a reliable means of safely managing different electrical systems within a single facility.
Complete Kit for Enhanced Functionality
Included in the RSK-CSH-W kit is the actuator assembly, power, and communications base, along with a wireless handheld controller that operates within a 100-foot line-of-sight range. The kit also comes with a rechargeable battery, charger, and a waterproof case, ensuring that it remains operational even in challenging environments.
Commitment to Quality and Safety
All CBS ArcSafe products are manufactured in the United States, at the company's facility located in Denton, Texas. With a commitment to quality, CBS ArcSafe not only provides top-of-the-line remote racking and switching solutions but also offers 24/7 emergency support to ensure clients have access to help whenever needed.
