Application
Siemens pilot devices and accessories are designed
to provide long, trouble free service in the most
demanding of industrial applications. These controls
are water, oil, and dust tight and meet NEMA Type 1,
3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 specifications.
Rugged
Industrial control operators are of durable one piece
castings. Heavy duty plastic buttons resist oils and
corrosion. Silver contacts carry heavy duty ratings
while standard gold flashing on contacts allows for
use in low current applications.
Flexible
Accessories modify standard push buttons, selector
switches, and pilot lights. Building block construction
of contact blocks makes it possible for many circuitry
combinations.
Industrial Appearance
Pilot controls add luster to panels. Chrome plating
covers exposed metal parts. The black matte finish
of Black-Max pilot device operators allows for an
alternative look to finished panels while still offering
corrosion resistance and superior ingress protection.
Push Button Operators
The push button operator base consists of a
durable, one piece casting. The base is equipped
with a heavy duty actuator with a stainless steel
spring, a neoprene actuator sealing ring to prevent
water, oil, and dust from penetrating to the contact
blocks, a neoprene gasket to seal operator mounting
hole, and a chrome plated locknut.
Transformer Type Pilot Lights
Transformer type pilot lights are available with a
120, 240, 277, 480, or 600 Volt primary (50/60
Hertz) and a separate secondary winding which
supplies reduced voltage to a miniature bayonet
base 6 Volt lamp. These units are suitable for
applications where vibration is present and long
bulb life is desirable.
Mushroom Head Push Button Operators
Operator base construction is identical to the
push button operator base. The actuator is molded
of high impact material for either a 1 ⁵⁄₈ inch or
2 ¹⁄₂ inch diameter molded head.
Full Voltage Type Pilot Lights
Full voltage pilot lights are available for 6, 12, 24,
120, 277V, and 240 Volt AC and DC applications.
The 240 volt pilot light is supplied with a 120 volt
lamp and a voltage dropping resistor.
Contact Blocks
Contact blocks have double-break bifurcated silver
contacts, with gold flashing as standard, which
improves contact fidelity. Contact blocks are heavy
duty rated NEMA A600/P600 and suitable for
applications down to 5V/1MA solid state outputs.
Molded bodies and pushers resist arcing and
tracking. All units have stainless steel springs that
resist corrosion and provide strong contact pressure.
Captive mounting screws speed panel assembly.
LED Type Pilot Lights
LEDs (light emitting diodes) can be used in pilot
lights instead of incandescent bulbs because of
their extremely long life, resistance to vibration,
and ambient sensitivity.
Push-pull Operators
Push-pull operators combine two or three functions
in one unit. The maintained operator has two
positions, typically pull to start, push to stop. The
momentary operator with three positions provides
spring return from both pull and push positions.
These units are also available illuminated.
Selector Operators
Selector operators have positive action indexing.
Operators are available with either a short or
long lever. The molded black lever is designed
to accept a color insert. A white insert is provided
as standard; however, eight alternative lever insert
colors are available. Each operator is equipped
with a cam to actuate plungers of contact blocks
assembled behind the operator. Two, three, and
four position operators are available with seven
different cams.
Two-button Maintained Operator
Two-button maintained operator push buttons
consist of two push buttons and a latching assembly.
When actuated the button remains depressed and
is freed only by the release operator to which it is
linked. The button assembly adjusts for mounting from
a 1¹³⁄₁₆ inch to a 2 ⁵⁄₈ inch center.

Installation Instructions
1. Be sure the set screw is loosened. Shaft must be in the pull position.
2. Remove push-pull head. (Pull)
3. Remove locknut, locking ring and trim ring.
4. Mount unit in panel as shown.
5. Reassemble head, and secure with set screw.
Contact Operation
Maintained Push-Pull
1. For normally open contacts, use 52BAK contact block
2. For normally closed contacts, use 52BAJ contact block
Momentary Push-Pull (Factory assembled)
1. For normally open contacts, the B52BAJ (normally closed)
contact block is used. When mounted on this operator, the contact
block becomes normally open.
2. For normally closed contacts, the special 52BAU contact block is used.
This contact block must be mounted last.
