Electrical and Mechanical Details

The switches support SPDT and DPDT contact arrangements with detailed schematics provided for each function type. The document includes wiring diagrams for standard LED functions and non-illuminated versions, as well as for solder and screw terminal options.

Illumination and Graphics

Illumination options include dot and ring styles with multiple LED color choices, including RGB LEDs for specific SPDT functions. Power symbol graphics are available either laser etched or illuminated, with illuminated graphics only available with ring illumination.

Applications and Markets

The PV4 Series is suitable for use in medical equipment, security devices, industrial controls, electrical housewares, kiosks, and audio/visual equipment, emphasizing durability and vandal resistance.

Critical Parameters and Limitations

• Maximum electrical rating is 2A at 24VDC.
• Operating temperature range is limited to -20°C to 55°C.
• Screw terminal option is only available with the 'Y' function (double break switch).
• RGB LED illumination is restricted to SPDT functions 3 and B.
• Mounting nut torque must be maintained between 5-14Nm to ensure proper installation.

Best Practices and Recommendations

• Ensure panel cutout is precisely 19mm to fit the switch correctly.
• Select illumination and graphic options based on application visibility and user interface requirements.
• Use appropriate terminal options based on installation and wiring preferences.
• Adhere to specified torque values during mounting to avoid damage or improper sealing.
• Consider environmental conditions to ensure IP65 rating is maintained for moisture protection.
