- Selection and Installation Guide
Selection Steps
- Determine Control Requirements: Self-resetting (temporary control) or latching (long-term control).
- Select Contact Configuration: 1NO (Normalmente aperto), 1NC (Normalmente chiuso), or 1NO+1NC (Combination Contact).
- Consider Additional Functions: Whether indicator light or emergency stop function is required.
- Match Installation Environment: Panel thickness and IP rating requirements.
Installation Points
- The panel opening diameter shall be 22mm, and the edge of the opening must be smooth and burr-free.
- During installation, adjust the nut position first, then insert the button from the back of the panel and tighten the nut to fix it.
- Distinguish between the control circuit (AC/DC) and the indicator light circuit during wiring (pay attention to the LED voltage).
- Ensure that the wiring terminals are tightened to avoid poor contact caused by loosening and heating.
