CBS ArcSafe®, a manufacturer of remote racking and switching solutions for low- and medium-voltage switchgear, introduces the RSK-CSH-W Chicken Switch Hitter, a wireless remote switching kit designed to offer broad compatibility with single and dual pushbutton applications and breaker control switches.

The RSK-CSH-W expands on CBS ArcSafe’s Chicken Switch family of electrical safety devices. The solution operates pushbutton applications that are spaced 3 inches or less center-to-center and require less than 10 pounds of push force, and breaker control switches with pistol grip handles such as the Electroswitch Series 24/24P and GE SB-1.

This versatility allows operators to safely complete multiple switching tasks with a single tool from up to 100 feet away, well outside the arc flash boundary.

Powered by Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery technology, the 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 multiple OEMs.
