FAQs
What is the IP rating of this push button?
This push button has an IP20 protection rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like fingers) and is not protected against water.
What type of cables can be used with this unit?
You can use rigid and ferruled copper cables ranging in size from 0.5mm² to 2 x 2.5mm².
How many contacts does this pushbutton have?
It features one break (normally closed) contact and one make (normally open) contact.
What is the maximum switching voltage and current?
The maximum switching voltage is 250V AC, and the maximum switching current is 20A.
Can this push button be used outdoors?
No, due to its IP20 rating, it is intended for indoor use in dry environments and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
What is the expected lifespan of this push button?
This push button is designed for up to 30,000 switching cycles, providing a long service life under normal operating conditions.
What is the mounting type for this device?
It is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail.
Troubleshooting
Pushbutton does not activate circuit.
Verify correct wiring to both the break (NC) and make (NO) contacts. Ensure copper cables are securely fastened in the terminals and that the circuit being controlled has power.
Sticking or unreliable button action.
Ensure the button is clean and free from debris. Check that the module is correctly mounted and not under mechanical stress from adjacent components.
Overheating during operation.
Confirm the connected load does not exceed the 20A switching current rating. Check all electrical connections for proper tightness; loose connections can cause resistance and heat.
