FAQs

What does the IP67/IP69 rating mean?

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

Is this switch momentary or latching?

This is a kill switch, which is typically designed to remain in the pressed (off) state until manually reset, acting as a latching mechanism for safety. However, specific reset functionality may depend on the connected circuitry.

What size panel cutout is required for this switch?

This switch is designed for a standard 22.5mm (M22) panel cutout.

Can this switch be used for general on/off control?

While it performs an on/off function, its primary design and labeling are for emergency stops. Using it for routine on/off control is not recommended as it bypasses critical safety protocols.

What color options are available?

This specific model (216723) is green. Eaton offers other M22 series buttons in various colors like red, yellow, and black for different functions.

Does this switch come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware is typically included with the switch for panel mounting. However, specific electrical connection accessories might be sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not activate machinery stop

Verify that the switch is correctly wired into the machinery's control circuit. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and that the switch itself is functioning by testing its continuity (requires electrical expertise).

Button is stuck or difficult to press

Gently clean around the button to remove any debris. Do not force the button. If the issue persists, the switch may require replacement.

Loss of environmental protection (IP rating)

Check that the switch is securely mounted in the panel cutout and that any seals are intact and properly seated. Tighten mounting hardware if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the desired mounting location on the control panel is prepared with a 22.5mm cutout.
  2. Mount the switch securely into the panel cutout according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a tight fit to maintain its IP rating.
  3. Connect the electrical wiring to the appropriate terminals on the switch. This typically involves wiring it into the control circuit of the machinery it is intended to stop. Consult a qualified electrician for proper wiring to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit standard 22.5mm (M22) panel cutouts.
  • Compatible with a wide range of industrial control systems requiring an emergency stop function.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material or compromise the seal.
  • Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage or wear, particularly around the seal and button.
  • Ensure the panel mounting remains secure to maintain the environmental protection rating.
