Suitable for
Industrial control panels and automation systems
Manual switching of electrical circuits in machinery
Integration into SmartWire-DT communication networks
Environments requiring high ingress protection against moisture and dust
When it may not be suitable

How to use
The switch is designed for panel mounting within industrial enclosures. Ensure the mounting surface is prepared according to the specified front dimensions. Connect the device to your control circuit or SmartWire-DT network using the integrated connection points.
