Complete X Series E-Stops Catalog

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides a detailed overview of IDEC's X Series Emergency Stop (E-Stop) switches, emphasizing their 'Safe Break Action' design. This innovative feature ensures that the Normally Closed (NC) contacts open in case of damage, enhancing safety by preventing machine operation during emergencies.

Innovative Design
Traditional E-Stop switches rely on spring pressure to keep NC contacts closed, which can fail under improper installation or excessive force. The 'Safe Break Action' reverses this, using spring pressure to open contacts if the switch is damaged, ensuring reliable machine stoppage.

Safety Features
The X Series E-Stops are designed for Level 4 safety applications, featuring up to four contacts in a compact form. They are secured from the rear of the control panel, preventing unauthorized removal. The switches offer both push-turn and push-pull reset methods, reducing operator confusion.

Padlock E-Stops
The XN4E series allows technicians to use personal padlocks to prevent unauthorized resetting, enhancing safety by ensuring all personnel are clear before machine restart.

Specifications
The document details specifications such as rated insulation voltage (250V), thermal current (2.5A), and compliance with standards like IEC60947-5. The switches are RoHS compliant and offer IP65 protection.

Selection Guide
The guide compares the XA, XW, and XN series, detailing features like contact configuration, electrical and mechanical life, and degree of protection. The XA series, for instance, offers a depth behind the panel of only 27.9mm for up to four contacts.

Part Numbers and Accessories
Part numbers for various configurations of non-illuminated and illuminated XA E-Stops are provided, along with accessories like replacement LED units and terminal covers.

Operating Instructions
Instructions for removing the contact block and panel mounting are included, emphasizing the importance of not exerting excessive force to avoid damage.

Installation and Removal Procedures

Contact Block Installation: Align the small marking on the operator base with the TOP marking on the contact block. Press and turn clockwise until the bayonet ring clicks.
Contact Block Removal: Unlock the operator button, pull back the bayonet ring, turn the contact block counterclockwise, and pull out.

Key Features
The XN Series E-Stops come with plastic, metallic, and flush bezels, and can accommodate up to 20 padlocks. They feature mushroom heads in different sizes (ø40, ø44, ø60mm) and a "safe break action" mechanism to keep contacts open when detached. They comply with IEC60947-5-5 and OSHA standards, are RoHS compliant, and have a protection degree of IP65.

Specifications
The switches operate within a temperature range of -25 to +60°C and have a mechanical life of 250,000 operations. They are designed to withstand shocks and vibrations and have a contact resistance of 50mΩ. The switches are available in various configurations with different contact arrangements and illumination options.

Installation and Operation
The document provides detailed instructions for installing and removing contact blocks and terminal covers. It emphasizes the importance of not using excessive force and ensuring proper alignment during installation. The switches are designed for easy panel mounting and come with accessories like locking ring wrenches and terminal covers.

Wiring and Handling
The document specifies the wire sizes and tightening torques for terminal screws. It also provides guidelines for handling the switches to prevent damage from excessive shocks or vibrations.

Safety and Compliance
The XN Series E-Stops are designed to meet various international safety standards and are suitable for use in safety-related parts of control systems. The document advises performing a risk assessment before operation.

Specifications and Safety Considerations
IP20 protection cannot be guaranteed if the installation is not secure, which may lead to electric shocks. It is crucial to ensure proper installation to maintain safety standards.

Contact Bounce
When resetting the button by pulling or turning, the normally closed (NC) main contacts may experience bounce. Similarly, pressing the button can cause the normally open (NO) monitor contacts to bounce. It is important to consider the contact bounce time, which is approximately 20 milliseconds, when designing a control circuit.

LED Illuminated Switches
The LED lamp integrated into the contact block is non-replaceable, indicating that the entire unit may need replacement if the LED fails.

Installing the Anti-rotation Ring (HW9Z-RL)
To install the anti-rotation ring, align the side without a thread on the operator with the TOP marking, the small 's' marking on the anti-rotation ring, and the recess on the mounting panel. This ensures proper alignment and functionality.
