Common Concerns Answered
Is the 'NAVIGATION' symbol a temporary print?
No, this actuator features a permanent laser-etched 'NAVIGATION' symbol. This process ensures the marking will not chip, peel, or fade over the lifespan of the switch, providing a lasting and clear indication of function, unlike pad-printed or molded alternatives.
Why is this actuator more expensive than others?
The advanced laser-etching process provides superior durability and permanent clarity compared to less expensive molded or printed options. This upfront investment in quality translates to a longer service life and avoids potential issues with worn or illegible markings on critical systems, proving more cost-effective over time.
Is it difficult to find specific laser-etched symbols?
While less common symbols may have limited availability, this actuator is specifically designed for the 'NAVIGATION' function, a critical and frequently used designation on any vessel. Pacer offers a range of laser-etched options for common marine electrical functions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of switches does the Pacer Actuator fit?
