Why Choose the ABB MA6-1193 Hand O Auto Legend Plate?
The ABB MA6-1193 is a compact and durable Hand O Auto legend plate insert designed for clear identification of operating positions on three-position selector switches in industrial electrical control systems. As part of the ABB MA6 pilot device accessory range, it provides a practical labelling solution for machinery control panels, operator stations and industrial automation equipment.
This pre-marked legend plate insert features the operating position markings Hand – O – Auto, allowing operators to identify manual operation, the centre off position and automatic operation. The markings correspond to the three selector switch positions, helping improve control panel clarity and reduce the risk of incorrect operating mode selection.
Measuring 12 × 27 mm, the MA6-1193 is designed to fit a compatible ABB MA6 legend plate holder for three-position selector switches. Its lightweight plastic construction and pre-marked identification make it suitable for industrial machinery, motor control panels, pump control systems and automated equipment requiring clearly labelled Hand-Off-Auto controls.

Clear Hand-Off-Auto Identification for Industrial Control Panels
Legend plate inserts such as the ABB MA6-1193 provide clear identification of selector switch operating positions in industrial electrical installations. The Hand O Auto marking is commonly used where machinery or equipment can operate under manual control, remain switched off or operate automatically through a control system.
In a typical Hand-Off-Auto control arrangement, the Hand position allows equipment to be operated through a manual control circuit, the O position identifies the off selection, and the Auto position allows operation through an automatic control system. The actual electrical switching functions depend on the selector switch, contact blocks and control circuit configuration.
The MA6-1193 provides the required position identification without incorporating any electrical switching components. It is a passive legend plate insert intended for use with a compatible ABB legend plate holder and three-position selector switch arrangement.
Its 12 × 27 mm rectangular format enables integration into the ABB MA6 holder system, helping panel builders maintain consistent labelling across industrial operator stations. The pre-marked text reduces installation preparation and provides a straightforward replacement option for damaged or missing control panel labels.
Typical Applications
- Hand-Off-Auto selector switch identification.
- Industrial machinery operator control panels.
- Manual and automatic motor control stations.
- Pump control panels and pumping systems.
- HVAC and ventilation control equipment.
- Industrial motor control centres.
- Conveyor and material handling control systems.
- PLC-based automation and machinery control panels.
- Electrical distribution and control cabinets.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- Building services and plant equipment control stations.
- OEM machinery and electrical panel building.
- Replacement of worn or missing selector switch labels.
