Product Information

Full details

This Siemens SIRIUS ACT Selector Switch Head is designed for industrial control panels and machinery interfaces requiring reliable and robust operation. Its key benefit lies in its durable construction and versatile IP ratings, ensuring performance in harsh environments. A potential caveat is its specific 22mm cutout size, requiring compatibility with existing panel designs. This component offers a 2-position, latching function with a 90-degree angle of throw, featuring a glossy black finish and steel front ring.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the SIRIUS ACT series?

The SIRIUS ACT series offers a unique portfolio of control and signaling devices with worldwide product approvals, featuring robust construction, modern design, and simplified assembly through an innovative snap-on concept.

What does 'latching' mean for this selector switch?

A latching switch holds its position (e.g., ON or OFF) after being actuated and will remain in that state until actuated again to change positions. This is different from a momentary switch which returns to its default position when released.

Can this switch be used outdoors or in wet environments?

Yes, with IP66, IP67, and IP69K ratings, this switch head is designed to withstand dust ingress, immersion in water, and high-pressure/high-temperature water jets, making it suitable for outdoor and wash-down environments.

What size panel cutout is required for this switch?

This selector switch head requires a standard 22mm diameter cutout in the control panel.

How is the switch head attached to the panel?

It utilizes an innovative snap-on concept with integrated 100% anti-twist protection for secure and easy mounting into the 22mm cutout.

Can I connect this switch directly to a PLC without complex wiring?

Yes, the SIRIUS ACT devices can be connected to controllers via communication interfaces like PROFINET, AS-Interface, or IO-Link, which can significantly reduce wiring effort and minimize errors.

What is the purpose of the steel front ring?

The steel front ring provides a robust and durable finish to the front of the switch, enhancing its resistance to wear and tear in industrial settings.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not latch in position

Verify that the correct contact block and actuator are used together and properly assembled. Ensure the 90-degree rotation is fully completed.

Difficulty mounting the switch head

Confirm that the panel cutout is precisely 22mm in diameter. Ensure the anti-twist protection is aligned correctly with any corresponding features on the panel or mounting surface.

Illumination not working (if applicable)

Check the power supply to the illumination unit and ensure the bulb or LED is correctly seated and functional. Verify wiring connections to the illumination module.

Unit appears loose after installation

Re-examine the snap-on mechanism and ensure it has fully engaged. Tighten the front ring if it is a separate mounting component.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability for industrial environments
  • High resistance to dust, oil, and aggressive cleaning agents
  • Easy assembly with integrated anti-twist protection
  • Versatile IP ratings for protection against water and dust ingress
  • Part of a comprehensive and approved control and signaling system

Cons

  • Requires a specific 22mm cutout, limiting compatibility with older panels
  • Latching action might not be suitable for all momentary switch applications
  • Detailed specifications may require consulting additional Siemens documentation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The selector switch head is designed for quick installation into a 22mm diameter mounting hole. The innovative snap-on concept allows it to be securely attached to the control panel, with integrated 100% anti-twist protection ensuring it remains firmly in place. Ensure the front ring is properly aligned and tightened according to the assembly instructions.

Compatibility: This switch head is part of the Siemens SIRIUS ACT series and is compatible with other SIRIUS ACT components. It requires a panel cutout of 22mm. For electrical connections, it can be integrated with controllers via PROFINET, AS-Interface, or IO-Link modules, or through traditional wiring methods depending on the chosen actuator and contact blocks.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, clean the switch head with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, especially on the glossy finish or steel front ring. Due to its high IP ratings, it is designed to withstand cleaning with water jets, but it is advisable to follow specific cleaning protocols for industrial machinery to avoid damage to connected components.
