Overview
The Accord APL11000 position switch is a mechanical SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switchbox engineered for industrial automation and valve control applications. Rated at 15 amps and 125 volts AC, this UltraSwitch provides cost-efficient and accurate position signaling. The unit features a visual position indicator with red/green color coding for intuitive local status determination alongside its electrical switching capability, making it ideal for operators and technicians requiring both local and remote position feedback.
