Why a Sliding Actuator

Clipsal classifies the control type on this item as sliding, and publishes it as a two gang unit under the designation Twin Sliding, Auto/Man/On/Off. Local signalling is listed as without, so there is no integrated indicator to specify or wire. The device application is recorded as control, and the product type simply as a switch.

The device presentation is a basic element with a full cover plate, and the unit fixes by screws. Clipsal publishes a tightening torque of 0.8 N.m and records the marking location as on the surface of the unit, with the marking itself given as ON-OFF.

Reading the IP56 Rating

Clipsal publishes the degree of protection on this item as IP56, and the two digits carry different meanings. The first digit, 5, is dust protected: ingress is limited rather than eliminated. The second digit, 6, covers powerful water jets from any direction. Quote IP56 exactly where a job specification calls for a stated ingress class, rather than rounding it to whatever rating the rest of the switchboard carries.

Ambient air temperature for operation runs from -25 °C to 75 °C, which covers Australian outdoor conditions comfortably.

Ratings, Materials and Size

The switch carries a 10 A rating at 250 V AC 50 Hz across one pole, described by Clipsal as a 1P switch function. It also carries an M80 motor rating at 250 V under AS 3133, and compliance is listed to AS/NZS 3133. Note that Clipsal records suitability for isolation as no, so this is a functional switch rather than an isolating device.

The body is polycarbonate in a grey colour tint, measuring 107 mm high, 101 mm wide and 65 mm deep. Clipsal targets the item at Australia and lists it as both mercury free and PVC free, with the environmental disclosure reference published as ENVPEP120809EN.

It ships one piece per pack. The pack measures 10.5 cm high, 10.0 cm wide and 10.5 cm long and weighs 356.0 g.

What IP rating does the Clipsal 56SSW2AM-GY have?
Clipsal publishes IP56 for this item, meaning the enclosure is dust protected and sealed against powerful water jets from any direction.

Can the 56SSW2AM-GY be used as an isolator?
No. Clipsal records suitability for isolation as no against this item, so it works as a control switch and a separate device is needed wherever isolation is required.

It is rated M80 at 250 V under AS 3133, alongside a 10 A rating at 250 V AC 50 Hz across a single pole.
