Wireless Self-Powered 22 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches
Mount these switches in panel cutouts where changing a battery or routing wires might be difficult—they power themselves when you push the button. These switches wirelessly send a signal to a receiver (sold separately) up to 330 feet away. Since they operate equipment without requiring wires back to your control panel, they’re often used for retrofit or temporary installations. The switches come in distinct colors to help operators quickly identify them.
Switches include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed. Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits or replace the included contact block. Connect up to 32 contact blocks to one receiver.

High-Visibility Plastic 22 mm Emergency
Stop Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches
A base that lights up draws attention to emergency stops. When pushed, these switches immediately cut power. All meet IEC and ISO standards for emergency stop applications. Mount them in a standard panel cutout. Installation requires an additional 9 mm cutout for the illuminated ring.
Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits or replace the included contact blocks.

Contact Blocks for Manual Switches
Make or break an electrical circuit. These contact blocks mount to manual switches and transmit an electrical signal when the switch actuator is engaged. You can stack multiple blocks, so a single switch can control several circuits. This is helpful in setups that require multiple systems to turn on or off at the same time. For example, the switch on a conveyor line could turn off the conveyor and turn on a diverter and alarm.
