Descriptive bulletin | FT Flexitest family 19
6.3 FT-19 and FT-22 test switch assemblies.
The FT-19R and FT-19RX assemblies accommodate up to two
FT-1 switches. The FT-19RS and FT-22RS assemblies accom-
modate up to two FT-1 switches, two FT-14 switches, or the
combination of one FT-1 and one FT-14 switch.
Each different style number is based on a smart part number
system. See page 20-22 for more ordering details.
6.3.1 Terminal connections
The Flexitest Switches for FT-19R, FT-19RX, FT-19RS, and
FT-22RS assemblies can be ordered with standard (# 8) screw
terminals or optional stud & nut terminals. The type of terminal
connection is represented by the second character of the style
number.
6.3.2 Panel height
The 19” as well as 22” wide mounting panel can be ordered
in different rack unit (RU) heights: 2RU, 3RU or 4RU. The 3RU
assembly is available with switch positions centered, mounted
high or mounted low. The 4RU is available with switches
mounted low or high.
6.3.3 Panel color & material
Panels are available in the following colors and materials: ANSI
61 gray - steel; ANSI 70 gray - steel; RAL7035 gray - steel;
beige - steel; black - steel; Light Sandlewood (RAL1019) - steel;
Thunder Blue (textured) - steel ; and brushed finish aluminum.
For visual representation of the panel colors, please visit

6.3.4 Flexitest switch code numbers (positions A, B, and C)
Each FT-1 switch is identified by a unique three-digit code num-
ber. FT-14 switches are identified by a unique four digit code
number. These “code numbers” are required for each of the
positions in the assembly (positions A, B and C).
To obtain the FT-1 or FT-14 switch style number and the three
or four digit code number refer to the ABB FT-1 configurator
at www.ft1switch.com or FT switch selection guide (document
1VAC397062-SG). A cover plate will be provided for unused
FT-1 or FT-14 switch positions (A, B, or C) by using code num-
ber “000” or “0000” respectively.
If a particular arrangement is not listed, contact the ABB Coral
Springs factory.
6.3.5 Switch replacement
To add an FT-1 switch in an unused position or to replace a
switch in an FT-19R assembly, the required FT-1 switch style(s)
will need to be provided. These numbers differ from the indi-
vidual FT-1 style numbers by including the prefix “R” to repre-
sent screw terminals (e.g., R129A501G01) or the prefix “RS”
to represent stud type terminals (e.g., RS129A501G01). For
FT-19RX assemblies provide the required FT-1 switch style with
an “R” or “RS” prefix plus the X08 or X10 length suffix (e.g.,
R129A501G01X10).
It is not necessary to add “R” prefix to the standard style num-
ber of FT-1 or FT-14 switches to be used as replacement on
FT-19RS assemblies.
6.3.6 Cover
For FT-19R assemblies, the cover field should be left BLANK to
order the unit with the standard full length clear cover. Optional
full length black, individual clear, individual black, lockable full
length clear or lockable full length black cover can be requested
by indicating the assigned letter on the cover field on the smart
part number.
The cover field is always required on FT-19RX, FT-19RS and FT-
22RS part numbers.
6.3.7 Additional features
When ordering the “Flat panel” version, please note this is
meant for applications where flush panel or cabinet mounting is
required.
