5. Operation
The ABB OHYS2PJ Selector Handle features an intuitive 'OFF-NONE-ON' operation mode, providing clear indication of the circuit's status. To operate:
- OFF Position: Rotate the handle to the 'OFF' position to ensure the disconnector switch is open, interrupting the electrical circuit.
- ON Position: Rotate the handle to the 'ON' position to close the disconnector switch, completing the electrical circuit.
- Intermediate Position (NONE): An intermediate position may exist depending on the specific disconnector switch configuration, indicating a neutral or non-engaged state.
The red/yellow color scheme of the handle provides high visibility, allowing for quick and easy identification of the switch's operational state from a distance.

The ABB OHYS2PJ Selector Handle is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, regular inspection can help ensure its longevity and reliable performance:
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the handle for any signs of physical damage, cracks, discoloration, or excessive wear.
- Cleaning: Keep the handle clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the material or finish.
- Fastening Check: Ensure that the handle remains securely fastened to the disconnector switch. Re-tighten any loose screws if necessary, adhering to recommended torque specifications.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The handle contains no internal user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
