Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 24 April 2015, 01:36:54

Has anyone had their hands on this RAFI switch before?

I've never seen one like it before and it intrigues me.

I found it here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charmilles-E-200-EG50-Operators-Panel-811016C-853376-board-INV-13207-/231111061896?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35cf4af188).

Based on the pinout from the other photos in the ebay post, I'd be willing to bet they are old versions of the RAFI LUMOSTAT 20, or at the very least, the predecessor to it.  A German product sheet can be found here[PDF] (http://shop.rafi.de/img/pdf/de/1-17_1-18.pdf).  It looks like a simple linear switch.

Edit: English spec sheet (http://shop.rafi.de/img/pdf/en/1-17_1-18.pdf)
