FROM PANEL FRONT
Without tool. Remove display screen/
lampholder assembly from 2C200 oper-
ator-indicator (or 2F200 indicator). Unit is
keyed to maintain proper orientation
when replacing. Use only flange base
T-13⁄4lamps with 2C200 and 2F200 de-

(page 114)
Mounting barriers attach to either the long
or short sides of the housing. They have
spring clips which grip the panel. Mount-
ing barriers also separate display screens
to protect against inadvertent operation.
Multiple units can be attached together in
a strip and snapped into a panel slot; or
they can be mounted individually.

enable use of an overlay panel, if desired.
Groupings can be separated by optional
spacing barriers.

BARRIER MOUNT MODULES
Barrier mount assemblies are identical in

housings have spring clips for attaching
switch modules. This feature is not pro-
vided with indicator housings.
Barriers are necessary for mounting.
They can be specified for attachment to
the long or short side of the housing, as
stated in the order guides.

FLANGE MOUNT MODULES
Flange mount assemblies are identical in
panel appearance. Operator-indicator
housings have spring clips for switch
modules attachment (not provided with
indicator housings).
Barriers are not required, since the panel
mounting clips are ready-attached to
flange sides of the housings. However,
spacing barriers can be used for color-
coding. They also aid in preventing inad-
vertent operation of two screens with one
push.

LEGEND INFORMATION
Honeywell MICRO SWITCH Division pro-
vides legend service on the inserts sup-
plied with three-piece screens only. To
specify your needs, add -Lto the catalog
listings (example: 2A81-L) and use Leg-
end Order Sheet (Form FO-62308),
shown on facing page. Reproduce it on
your office copier.
On any one insert, only one size of type is
provided in either black or white. After
legending, the insert is assembled to the
display screen. The type face used is
‘‘Modified Gothic’’.
LAMPS
T-13⁄4incandescent lamps are available
from MICRO SWITCH in 28 volt versions.
Use of neon lamps is not recommended.
Light output is approximately 30% of an
incandescent lamp. Also, a neon lamp
will not illuminate blue or green filters or
display screens due to the absence of
these colors from the neon light spec-
trum.
LAMP POLICY
The 28 volt lamps are offered as a conve-
nience to customers. Honeywell MICRO
SWITCH Division does not extend any
warranty as to such lamps, and cannot
guarantee to provide lamps from specific
manufacturers. Any technical or quality
questions regarding such lamps should
be directed to the lamp manufacturer.
COLOR FILTERS FOR PROJECTED
COLOR
Projected color is achieved by using
white buttons and color filters over clear
lamps. When lamps are lighted, white
button takes on color projected by the
filters.
Filters used with type 2C200 and 2F200
housings (no-tool relamping) slip over
lamp sockets in lampholder.

SWITCH GUARD ACCESSORY
A hinged cover on the switch guard helps
avoid inadvertent operation of the display
screen. It is installed in place of the trans-
parent slide-on cap furnished with three-
piece screen. Note: When used with pull-
in coil devices, specify the 2C200 oper-
ator-indicator housings which have the
no-tool relamping feature.
Barrier mount assembly with guard in-
stalled. (Can also be used with all flange
mount units.)
Guard requires a ‘‘lift-to-push’’ response
to operate switch normally.
