Use and Operation Instructions
PB16 Pushbutton Actuator
1.0
Introduction
The PB-16 is designed to remotely operate a single pushbutton that is flush or surface mounted. It is
adjustable so that it can work in a variety of applications, but is only "universal" within certain dimensional
and mechanical limits. See Sections 4.0 and 4.1 for more information on these limitations.

2.1
Arc-blast Hazards
The hazards associated with electrical arc-blasts are well documented. Studies conducted by numerous
industries and professional organizations have sought to quantify the intensity of arc blast, the risks to
personnel, and various methodologies for mitigating the risks.
Without a doubt, increasing the distance between the arc and a human is the single greatest favorable
factor in reducing injuries. Remote operation of electrical equipment is not a cure-all, but rather one more
tool available for protecting workers while they are performing electrical switching.
Using the PB16 remote operating device may not negate the need for additional personal protective
measures. The user is ultimately responsible for evaluating each situation to determine if additional
protective measures are needed.
