Eaton Selector Switch - 2 Positions

A 'maintained' switch means that once you move the actuator to a position (e.g., 'On'), it will stay in that position until you manually move it to another position (e.g., 'Off'). It does not return to a default position on its own.

IP66 means the switch is protected against dust ingress ('6' - Dust-tight) and protected against strong jets of water ('6' - Water jets). This makes it suitable for many industrial and outdoor applications.

This switch is primarily designed for control circuits. Always verify the voltage and current ratings against your specific application requirements. Refer to the product datasheet for detailed electrical specifications.

This specific model has one normally open (N/O) contact. This means it can complete a circuit when activated. It is not designed for multiple independent circuits or changing between different sets of contacts simultaneously.

The Eaton 216518 requires a standard 22mm diameter mounting hole in the control panel.

Yes, the Eaton 216518 comes complete with a titanium-colored front bezel as shown in the product description.

This specific model features a fixed thumb-grip actuator and titanium bezel. For different actuator types (like key or toggle) or colors, you would need to look at other compatible Eaton RMQ-Titan components or series.

Ensure the actuator is fully engaged in the desired position. Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. Verify power is applied to the circuit controlling the switch if it's part of a larger system.

Verify that the switch is in the correct position to activate the N/O contact (typically 'Position I'). Ensure wiring to the N/O terminal is secure. Check if the switch has reached its end-of-life if used extensively.

Inspect the switch mounting for proper tightening. Ensure no debris has entered the mechanism. If stiffness persists, consider replacing the unit, especially if operating temperatures are at the extremes.

Immediately disconnect power. Inspect the seals around the bezel and the rear housing. Tighten the mounting mechanism. If damage is evident, replace the switch unit.
