aux contact for elevator disconnect

[101010]

Any info on connecting a aux contact on elevator disconnect switch? Is this something you add to the disconnect? or do you have to purchase it installed on the switch?

 

[siver295]

If the elevators are hydraulic, the auxiliary contacts can be added to disconnect switch.

Electrical interlocks for heavy duty 30?1200 A safety switches are
available factory-installed or in kit form for field installation. Each kit
contains instructions for proper field mounting. A pivot arm operates
from switch mechanism, breaking the control circuit before the main
switch blades break. Switches with electrical interlocks installed are UL
Listed. For factory-installed electrical interlocks add E​

​

I (for one contact)
or EI2 (for two contacts) suffix to catalog number. See Supplemental
Digest page 2-4 for electrical interlock contact ratings.​
