Product Information

Full details

This Eaton Moeller RMQ-Titan series selector switch is designed for industrial control panels requiring reliable operator input. Its key benefit is the robust IP66 rating for protection against dust and water, coupled with a momentary, spring-back action for clear operational feedback. A potential caveat for users is that it's an illuminated switch head only, requiring a separate light module for signaling.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the illumination module included with this switch?

No, the Eaton M22-WLK-G is the switch head only. A separate illumination module and actuator base are required for the signal lamp function.

What does 'momentary action' mean for this switch?

Momentary action means the switch changes state only while the actuator (the rotary handle) is being held in the actuated position. When released, it returns to its default position due to the spring-back function.

Can this switch be used outdoors?

Yes, with its IP66 protection rating, it is designed to withstand dust and water jets, making it suitable for many outdoor applications when properly installed.

What is the standard panel cutout size for this switch?

The standard panel cutout diameter required for this switch is 22.5mm.

What are the physical dimensions of the switch head?

The switch head has a width and height of 29.7 mm and a depth of 45.9 mm.

What material is the front ring made of?

The front ring is made of chrome, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish.

What is the operating temperature range?

The switch can operate within a temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C.

Troubleshooting

Switch not actuating correctly

Verify that the switch is properly mounted and secured. Check for any obstructions around the rotary handle. Ensure the spring mechanism is not damaged.

Illumination not working

Confirm that a compatible light module is correctly installed and powered. Check the wiring connections to the light module and the power source. Verify the voltage rating of the light module matches the power supply.

Poor contact or intermittent operation

Inspect the internal contacts for dirt or corrosion. Clean contacts if necessary. Ensure the switch is securely fastened to the panel to maintain proper alignment.

IP66 rating compromised

Ensure all seals are intact and properly seated. Verify that the mounting hole is correctly sealed around the switch. Do not use in conditions exceeding the IP66 rating.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the control panel has a standard 22.5mm diameter mounting hole.
  2. Insert the M22-WLK-G switch head through the hole from the front.
  3. Secure the switch head from the rear using the provided locking mechanism or mounting hardware.
  4. If using the illumination feature, connect the appropriate light module and power source to the designated terminals on the rear of the switch assembly.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit standard 22.5mm mounting cutouts.
  • Compatible with Eaton RMQ-Titan series components.
