Pushbutton Assembly
Lamp Installation
Lamps can be replaced in two ways:
1. If contacts are accessible (or pushbutton not installed in a panel) then it is
2. If contacts are not accessible, then the lamp can be replaced by fi rst removing
Engraving Lenses
All buttons and lenses can be engraved directly on the outside surface. Illumi-
nated lenses also allow for engraving on a plate that is underneath the colored
section of the lens. Remove the colored section of the lens by pulling on the
edge while simultaneously unhooking it from the latches on the lens holder. The
marking plate will then be accessible. It can then be engraved or a thin marked
insert (such as mylar or paper) can be sandwiched between the marking plate
and colored section of the lens.
Panel Mounting
Before any unit can be mounted into a panel, the contact block must be removed. Slide metal locking lever and pull contact off. Loosen and remove the locking ring
and square anti-rotation ring from the operator and insert operator through panel cutout from the front of the panel. Slide on anti-rotation ring and tighten locking
ring, using locking ring wrench (MT-001). Slide contact block onto operator, observing TOP marking on both parts. Slide metal locking lever in direction indicated by
LOCK. The yellow plastic safety lever lock can then be snapped onto the locking lever; this will prevent vibration or maintenance actions from releasing the contact
from the operator.
PCB Mounting
Being able to separate the contacts from the operator allows for assembly of the
front panel components (operator and lens) to be performed in tandem with the
PC board assembly and soldering. For applications where multiple rows of push-
buttons are mounted closely together, or where other components may obstruct
access to the contact locking lever, be sure to include access holes in the PC
board (refer to PC board layout dimensions for location). Also be sure to allow for
space above and to the side of contact to ensure that no components block the
contact block locking lever. PC board pins are designed to rest on the PCB, take
this into consideration to ensure that pins do not short closely spaced traces.
easiest to fi rst remove the contacts from the operator. This will allow easy
access to the lamp/lamp-holder assembly. Grab lamp, depress slightly, and
turn counter clockwise. Lamp can then be removed by pushing it back through
the lamp holder.
the lens from the operator. Just pull lens straight out either with a fi ngernail
or optional lens removal tool (MT-101). Lamp/lamp-holder assembly can then
be removed with lamp removal tool (OR-44). Insert lamp removal tool through
operator, depress slightly, turn counter clockwise, then pull lamp/lamp-holder
assembly out. Lamp can then be removed by pushing it back through the lamp
holder.
