SQUARE D 1481-N13A Hand-Off-Auto Selector Switch

SQUARE 1481-N13A Hand-Off-Auto Selector Switch is a three-position control device designed to switch a machine’s control path among HAND (manual), OFF, and AUTO (automatic) modes within industrial control circuits. As part of the 1481 Hand-Off-Auto family, this selector switch kit provides a dedicated operator interface that integrates with standard control panels and wiring to feed manual or automatic signals into relays, contactors, or PLC inputs. The HOA function supported by the N13A model helps ensure clear, unambiguous mode transitions, allowing operators to intervene manually when needed or let automated PLC logic take over, depending on operating requirements. This type of switch is typically used in applications where a physical, easily selectable mode control is preferred for safety and operational reliability, complementing other control elements within a machine or process panel. Supplied as a complete kit consistent with SQUARE’s 1481 family, the 1481-N13A is intended for panel installation and straightforward wiring alongside standard automation components.
