Abstract
An operator mechanism comprises a mechanical user interface and a contact assembly. The mechanical user interface is configured to be physically moved by a user. The contact assembly is coupled to the mechanical user interface such that movement of the mechanical user interface imparts movement to the contact assembly. The contact assembly includes a shaft having a longitudinal axis extending distally outward relative to the mechanical user interface to a distal end of the shaft. The contact assembly also includes a contact member coupled to and extending radially outward from the shaft. The contact member engages an actuator of a control device in the control enclosure when the contact assembly is moved. The contact member is selectively positionable longitudinally along the shaft and defines a shaft opening the shaft extends through such that the distal end of the shaft is distal of the shaft opening.
