Chicken Switch Hitter
Expanding the Chicken Switch Family of Electrical Safety Devices: Chicken Switch Hitter
Welcome to a new era in operator safety. CBS ArcSafe is raising the bar once again with the latest addition to the Chicken Switch® family of products with the RSK-CSH-W Chicken Switch Hitter. The RSK-CSH-W is a wireless remote switching kit (RSK) designed to safely operate most single and dual pushbutton applications requiring less than 10 lbs. of push force and spaced 3.0″ or less center-to-center, as well as breaker control switches with pistol grip handles such as the Electroswitch Series 24/24P and GE SB-1. Powered by a Milwaukee M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, it is easy to install, operate, and move from one piece of equipment to another.
Powered by Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery technology, the Chicken Switch Hitter system attaches magnetically to switchgear without requiring modifications or equipment downtime. An integrated laser alignment system ensures precise positioning while the motorized actuator and dual-adjustable linear actuators ensure reliable operation across various equipment setups from manufacturers including ABB, Eaton, General Electric, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Square D.
