FAQs

What does the IP67/IP69K rating mean?

IP67 means the device is protected against dust ingress and immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. IP69K means it can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, making it suitable for washdown applications.

Is this switch suitable for general ON/OFF control?

No, this is specifically an emergency stop (kill) switch. It is designed for immediate power disconnection in critical situations and should not be used for routine operational control.

What is the button type?

The actuator is a flat-top, mushroom-shaped push button with a 22mm diameter.

What size hole is needed for mounting?

The switch requires a 36.5mm diameter cutout in the mounting panel.

Can I wire this switch for normally open (NO) circuits?

Yes, depending on the specific contact block configuration and wiring, it can be used for both normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) circuits. Consult the product's wiring diagram for details.

What is the material of the actuator?

The actuator is made of durable plastic.

What is the operating temperature range?

The switch can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 70°C.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not activate or deactivate

Verify electrical connections are secure and correctly wired. Check if the button mechanism is obstructed or damaged. Ensure the retaining nut is tightened appropriately, but not excessively.

Inconsistent operation

Inspect for dirt or debris around the button and mechanism. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Check operating temperature is within the -25°C to 70°C range.

Water ingress despite IP rating

Ensure all seals and gaskets are properly seated during installation. Check the housing for cracks or damage that could compromise water resistance.
