Use and Operation Instructions
CSxxW Remote Actuator for Pistol Grip Switches
1.0 Introduction
The CS models are designed to remotely operate pistol grip switches similar to the Electroswitch Series 24.
There are several CS models available depending on the switch manufacturer and model number. The
primary difference between the CS models is in the dimensions of the mounting frame. The CS model
actuators utilize the pistol grip escutcheon plate to limit the movement of the CS actuator while it is turning
the pistol grip handle. So, dimensionally, the frame must properly engage the escutcheon plate. The
CS01W is the most common model as it fits an estimated 90% of the pistol grip switches found on
switchgear. But other models are available to fit most of the remaining switches. Models are identified by
the third and fourth digits of the part number. For example, CS01W, CS03W, CS04W are various models
offered. Although each model is slightly different in the frame size, the operation and use of each is the
same. This user manual can be used for all CS models. Any reference to CSxxW means the actual control
switch actuator. References to RSK-CSxxW means the “Remote Switching Kit” which includes the
following items necessary to operate the actuator.

2.1 Arc-blast Hazards
The hazards associated with electrical arc-blasts are well documented. Studies conducted by numerous
industries and professional organizations have sought to quantify the intensity of arc blast, the risks to
personnel, and various methodologies for mitigating the risks.
Without a doubt, increasing the distance between the arc and a human is the single greatest favorable
factor in reducing injuries. Remote operation of electrical equipment is not a cure-all, but rather one more
tool available for protecting workers while they are performing electrical switching.
Using the CSxxW remote operating device for motor control centers may not negate the need for additional
personal protective measures. The user is ultimately responsible for evaluating each situation to determine
if additional protective measures are needed.
2.2 Battery Hazards
The CSxxW is battery powered from a Milwaukee Tool M18 battery provided. The voltage output on the
battery is 18VDC. Although this is below the recognized threshold for a shock hazard, there can be
significant energy stored in the battery pack. See Section 3.0 for more information on the M18 battery.
The M18 Milwaukee battery contains Lithium-Ion cells. Care must be taken when handling the battery and
federal regulations must be followed when shipping the battery.
2.3 Magnet Hazards
The magnets that are used on the CxxW to hold it on the switchgear produce strong magnetic fields, so
care must be taken when handling it. The following steps should be followed to assure safe handling:
• The magnets need to be kept at a safe distance from all magnetic storage devices, electronics,
credit cards, etc.
• Do not use the CSxxW if the magnets have been damaged.
• Always keep the bottom of the magnet free of debris and rust. If needed, dirt can be removed using
the sticky side of a piece of masking tape.
THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS LITHIUM-ION and ALKALINE CONTAINING BATTERIES
• All Federal and State regulations must be followed for disposal, transport, and shipment of
the batteries and equipment.
• Rechargeable batteries should only be charged using chargers approved for the battery type
and manufacturer.

2.4 Pinch Point Hazards
The CSxxW is a motorized device with moving parts that will produce the opportunity for pinch point
hazards. In order to prevent a pinch point injury, the following procedures should be followed:
• Install the CSxxW actuator on the switchgear door prior to turning it on.
• Once the CSxxW is turned ON, do not touch or bring body parts near the actuator.
• Turn OFF the CSxxW actuator prior to removing it from the switchgear door.
• Do NOT attempt to turn the CSxxW actuator ON unless it is installed and ready to use.
Additionally, the magnets used to hold the CSxxW actuator on the switchgear door could present a pinch
hazard. To prevent an injury the follow procedures should be followed:
• Keep all fingers away from the magnet areas when installing.
• Follow the installation procedure in Section 4.0 when installing the CSxxW on the switchgear door.
2.5 Radio Frequency
The wireless version of the CSxxW uses a radio transmitter and receiver to communicate. The transmitter
and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz frequency band and is low power at 6.3mW. These are commercially
available radios that have agency certification through the manufacturer. They are certified with the

3.0 Battery and Charger Information
CSxxW Actuator Battery
The CSxxW is powered from a Milwaukee Tool M18 battery. M18 batteries are available in a variety of
sizes and capacities. The kit ships with the M18-CP2.0 battery along with a charger, but the user may use
any M18 Milwaukee battery. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE BATTERIES OTHER THAN THE M18
MANUFACTURED BY MILWAUKEE TOOL. DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
For more detailed user information for the M18 battery, see the Milwaukee Tool Safety Instructions for
Lithium-Ion Battery Packs, which is included with this manual. Additionally, SDS sheets are available for
the battery through the Milwaukee Tool website.
See Section 3.3 for information on charging the M18 battery.
Shipping of Lithium-Ion Batteries
The M18 battery cannot be shipped via air. In cases where shipping of the CSxxW by air is required, the kit
can be shipped without the battery. The M18 battery included in the kit will then be shipped separately via
ground. In the meantime, any Milwaukee M18 battery may be used. The M18 battery is very common and
you may already have one on hand. Or, you may purchase an M18 battery at a local Milwaukee Tool
supplier.
RTL-2 Remote Transmitter
The RTL-2 is a remote transmitter used with the wireless version of the CSxxW. It is powered by a 9VDC
battery. Replace this battery as needed with a commercially available 9VDC battery. An alkaline or non-
rechargeable lithium type is recommended.
3.1 Installing and Removing the Battery on the CSxxW Actuator
Installing and removing the battery on the CSxxW is easily performed by sliding the Milwaukee M18 battery
into or out of the adapter on the side of the CSxxW. The battery locks into place when properly installed
THIS EQUIPMENT USES A LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACK.
DO NOT attempt to modify the battery pack or to install a battery pack not approved for use in the CSxxW.
Doing so could cause equipment damage, fire, or personal injury.

and can be removed by simultaneously squeezing the red colored release buttons on both sides of the
battery.
3.2 Replacing the Battery in Wireless Remote Transmitter
The RTL-2 remote transmitter uses a standard 9V battery.
To replace the battery, complete the following steps:
• Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter.
• Replace the battery.
• Re-install the battery cover.
3.3 Charging the M18 Battery
The M18 battery must only be charged using a charger approved by Milwaukee Tool. Included with the
CSxxW is an approved Milwaukee Tool charger. The standard part number provided is 48-59-1812,
however, some kits may ship with a different charger depending on the input voltage required. For more
detailed user information for the M18 chargers, see the Milwaukee Tool Operator’s Manual for Multi-Voltage
Chargers, which is included with this manual.
4.0 Use and Operation of the CSxxW
The CSxxW is installed over a pistol grip switch typically found on electrical switchgear. Care must be
taken when installing the CSxxW that the pistol grip switch is not inadvertently operated.
The CSxxW should be installed by tilting it downward over the switch. Attempting to install it from a
“straight on” angle will allow the magnets to pull it onto the door and likely not be aligned as it should be.
The switchgear door must be clean and free of obstacles such as labels that may prevent the magnets from
fully engaging the switchgear door. IF BOTH MAGNETS DO NOT FULLY CONTACT THE METAL OF THE
DOOR, THE ACTUATOR MAY FALL OFF DURING OPERATION.

STEP #2 – Install the battery.
STEP #3 – Press the WAKE button to power up the unit. The WAKE button should light indicate that power
is on. Also, the pairing LED should be lit YELLOW indicating that the radio is powered but is not yet paired
to the hand-held controller. (Pairing will not be established until the ENABLE button is pressed on the
hand-held controller).

STEP #4 –For models that have selectable rotation for the actuator (identified by a ROTATION selection
switch on the hand-held controller), select the amount of rotation that is necessary for your pistol grip
switch. In most cases, MIN rotation will be enough. If you find that it is not enough, select MAX rotation.
When ready to operate your pistol grip switch, press the ENABLE button on the hand-held controller. The
pairing LED should immediately turn YELLOW for a moment and then turn GREEN when it pairs to the
actuator. A GREEN LED indicates that the two radios are talking to each other and ready to operate.
While holding the ENABLE button, press either TRIP or CLOSE to operate your switch. You must hold both
the ENABLE and CLOSE or TRIP buttons until the pistol grip switch is fully moved. Letting go of either of
these buttons will cause the CSxxW actuator to immediately return to center.

STEP #5 – Once switching is completed, remove the actuator in the reverse order of installation. Be sure to
tilt the actuator UP to disengage magnets from door. ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE ACTUATOR
STRAIGHT OFF THE DOOR IS DIFFICULT AND COULD CAUSE INJURY OR ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION OF THE PISTOL GRIP SWITCH.
5.0 Storage
The CSxxW is provided with a heavy-duty carrying case that can be used to conveniently store the actuator
and its necessary components. The carrying case and complete unit should be stored in a clean and cool
environment.

6.0 Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
The LED on the Wake button flashes and
then the unit shuts down.
If the CSxxW actuator is not operated
within 2-3 minutes after powering on, it will
automatically shutdown. Press the WAKE
button to turn it back on
The RTL-2 wireless transmitter won’t
activate the CSxxW or the actuator
operates sporadically.
The pairing lights on the actuator and
hand-held controller confirm they are
continuously communicating by turning
GREEN. If the paring LEDs are flickering
between YELLOW and GREEN, one of the
following could be the problem:
1) the transmitter is outside the 100-foot
range or if there are obstructions limiting
the ability to reach 100-feet.
2) the battery voltage could be low in the
RTL-2. Try replacing the battery.
