SWISSTAC - Three crucial advantages!
Easy storage in minimum space
Every SWISSTAC switch can be altered very simply any number of
times, and afterwards added to, modified or adapted. This highly modu-
lar concept means that only a few subassemblies reducing storage
costs.
All connections on one plane
All the terminals are arranged at the same level, are clearly laid out and
fully accessible even when in close-packed arrays. Three colours pro-
vide optical help to make connections easier.
Ideal for switch interlock systems
SWISSTAC switches can be mechanically combined in many ways to
form switch interlock systems and in fact in rows of up 20 switches. This
means that complicated protection and relay interlocks are unnecessa-
ry. Individual and irregular spacings between the switches of an array
are no problem either.
CE
Our products are marked with the internationally approved CE low-
voltage safety standard.
General information
Swisstac, a modularly constructed control switch system, offers the
user a wide range of products: buzzers, illuminated pushbuttons and
pushbuttons, indicators, emergency stop switches, push-pull illumina-
ted switches, keylock switches and selector switches, as well as switch
interlock systems in the front-facing protection classes IP 40 and IP 65.
The front dimensions of the switch units are: 18 mm dia., 18 x 18 mm,
24 mm dia., 24 x 24 mm. For flush mounting, dimensions 25 mm dia.,
24 x 24 mm, 24 x 30 mm are also available.
Construction
SWISSTAC switches are of modular construction and are divided into
the following three groups:
- Front section: Man/switch interface and status indicator
two-part lens for engraving, film insert or printing
- Intermediate section: Latching/ pulse facility, lamp holder, latch
function
- Intermediate section with switching mechanism and lamp holder,
which is available in two versions: T: 5.5 max., 1.2 W and midget
grooved T 1 3/4 max.
1.2 W.
- Terminal block: up to a max. of five switching elements can be joined
together in one switch terminal block. Are supplied mounted serially on
intermediate sections.
Can be disassembled easily for wiring.

Illumination
Perfect illumination of the lenses supplied in various colours is guaran-
teed by the incandescent lamps midget grooved T 1 3/4 and T 5.5 (6-
60V9).
Where supply voltages are over 60 V, a voltage-reduction element (ext.
protective series resistor or capacitor) must be used. Because of high
surface temperature, the protective series resistor may not be soldered
direct onto the connections of the pushbuttons.
Multi-LED midget grooved T 1 3/4 and T 5.5 (6, 12, 24, 48 V) are availa-
ble in the colours red, yellow and green.
Switch position indicator
When the pushbutton with latch function is operated, the lens latches in
mechanically. The position of the lens makes the switch position evi-
dent at all the times.
Keylock switches
Standard lock
1 Standard number is B2 300. We supply B2 300 without specifications
of the lock numbers. Four further standard locks are B2 301 - B2 304.
This additional designation should be quoted when ordering. A further
95 locks are available in or without passepartout version on request.
2 keys are supplied per keylock switch.
Spare keys for a standard lock can be ordered under Type no. 240-
2001-00 ( plaese quote lock number). Example: 240-200-00 B2 300.
Emergency stop switch with key to unlock
Standard lock is B2 390. Four further standard locks are B2 391 -
B2-394. When ordering this additional designation should be quoted.
Spare keys for standard lock can be ordered under Type no. 240-3001-
00 (please quote lock). Example: 240-3001-00 B2 390.
Two keys are supplied per emergency stop switch.
Emergency Stop Switch, foolproof with key to unlock
Kaba safety switch. Standard lock number is 1001. Spare keys can be
ordered under Type no. 240.4001-00 1001.
2 keys are supplied per emergency stop switches.
