Schneider Electric Harmony XB4R Wireless and Batteryless Pushbutton Head with Transmitter, White Metal

The Schneider Electric Harmony XB4R wireless and batteryless pushbutton head is an innovative control solution designed for modern industrial environments. Constructed from high-quality white metal, this unit integrates a self-powered transmitter that harvests energy from the mechanical action of the button press. By eliminating the need for external power sources or complex wiring, this device simplifies installation and reduces maintenance requirements in automation systems.

Advantages

This pushbutton head offers significant flexibility by allowing for wireless communication, which removes the constraints of traditional cable routing. Its robust metal construction ensures durability in harsh industrial settings, while the batteryless technology eliminates the need for battery replacements, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective operation. The device is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing control panels, providing reliable signal transmission without the risk of wire breakage or connection failures.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control panels
• Retrofitting existing machinery where wiring is difficult
• Mobile control stations or operator interfaces
• Applications requiring frequent reconfiguration of control layouts

This product may not be suitable for environments with extreme electromagnetic interference that could disrupt wireless signal transmission. Additionally, it is not intended for safety-critical emergency stop functions where a hardwired connection is mandated by regulatory standards.

Key specifications

• Material: White metal
• Technology: Wireless and batteryless (energy harvesting)
• Compatibility: Harmony XB4R series receivers
• Design: Pushbutton head with integrated transmitter
• Environmental protection: Suitable for demanding industrial conditions

To use this device, simply mount the pushbutton head onto a standard 22 mm diameter hole in your control panel or enclosure. Once installed, the unit must be paired with a compatible Harmony XB4R wireless receiver. The mechanical energy generated by pressing the button is converted into a radio signal, which is then transmitted to the receiver to trigger the desired control action.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with your existing Harmony XB4R wireless receiver system
• Verify the signal range requirements for your specific installation environment
• Check that the mounting surface is compatible with standard 22 mm industrial cutouts

For optimal performance, ensure that the wireless receiver is positioned within the recommended range and that there are no significant metallic obstructions between the transmitter and the receiver that could attenuate the signal.
