ABB OHBS2RJ Selector Handle Black Industrial Process Controller

Description

Product Overview

The ABB OHBS2RJ selector handle is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliable control and ease of installation are paramount. Finished in a sleek black coating, this handle combines a robust mechanical design with a compact footprint of 6.97 x 5.91 x 1.89 inches, weighing only 2.08 ounces. Its ergonomic shape allows operators to quickly select positions with confidence, reducing the chance of mis‑selection during critical process adjustments. The handle is constructed from high‑grade polymer reinforced with metal inserts, delivering resistance to wear, impact, and chemical exposure common in manufacturing, chemical processing, and utility applications. Compatibility with standard ABB process controllers ensures seamless integration, while the model number OHBS2RJ provides a clear reference for inventory and maintenance documentation. The product’s package dimensions and lightweight nature also simplify shipping and handling, making it an ideal choice for both new installations and retrofits.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial settings, the selector handle excels in process control panels, motor control centers, and automation cabinets. It is particularly well‑suited for applications that require frequent position changes, such as mode selection, safety interlocks, and manual overrides in chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and power generation stations. The handle’s intuitive grip and clear tactile feedback enable operators to make rapid adjustments even while wearing gloves, a common requirement in harsh environments. Installation is straightforward: the handle mounts directly onto a standard ABB controller panel using the provided screw holes, eliminating the need for additional brackets or adapters. Its black finish not only matches other ABB components for a uniform appearance but also reduces glare, improving visibility in low‑light conditions. Whether used in a new build or as a replacement for an aging component, the OHBS2RJ delivers consistent performance, helping maintain process stability and safety.

FAQ

What panel sizes are compatible with the OHBS2RJ selector handle?

The handle is designed to mount on standard ABB process controller panels that use the common mounting hole pattern. It fits panels ranging from 2 × 4 inches up to 6 × 8 inches, making it versatile for most industrial applications.

Can the selector handle be used in hazardous environments?

Yes. The handle’s polymer housing is rated for use in environments with exposure to oils, solvents, and moderate temperature fluctuations. For explosive atmospheres, additional certification may be required based on local regulations.

Is there a warranty or service plan available?

ABB offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering material and workmanship defects. Customers can also purchase extended warranty options and service contracts for longer-term protection and priority support.

How do I install the handle on my existing controller?

Installation requires aligning the handle’s mounting holes with the pre‑drilled holes on the controller panel, inserting the supplied screws, and tightening them to the recommended torque. No additional tools or adapters are needed.

What maintenance is required to keep the handle functioning optimally?

Periodic visual inspection for wear or damage is recommended. The handle can be cleaned with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface finish. Lubrication is not required due to the self‑lubricating polymer material.
