Inscription of actuators and indicators

Actuators and indicators of plastic as well as metal can be optionally inscribed with a laser.

The actuators of the pushbuttons, illuminated pushbuttons, mushroom pushbuttons, illuminated mushroom pushbuttons and twin pushbuttons can be inscribed as well as the lenses of the indicator lights.

Selector switches can be inscribed only if they are made of plastic (only one text line on the front ring).

Version

A letter height of 4 mm is used as standard for text inscriptions.

The typeface used is Arial. Other letter heights and typefaces are possible, but must be specified when ordering.

The maximum possible number of characters per line is:

• 10 characters for one line of text
• 8 characters for 2 lines of text
• 6 characters for 3 lines of text, but 10 characters in the middle line.

Ordering notes

When ordering, add "–Z" and an order code to the Article No. of the actuator or the indicator light:

• Text line in upper/lower case, always upper case for beginning of line (e.g. "Lift/Off"): Y10
• Text in upper case (e.g."LIFT"): Y11
• Text in lower case (e.g."lift/off/lower"): Y12
• Text in upper/lower case, all words begin with upper case letters (e.g."On Off"): Y15
• Symbol with number according to ISO 7000 or IEC 60417: Y13
• Any inscription or symbol according to order form supplement: Y19

When ordering, specify the required inscription in plain text in addition to the Article No. and order code. In the case of special inscriptions with words in languages other than German, give the exact spelling and specify the language. In the case of symbols with number, quote the corresponding standard (see ordering example 1).

In the case of multi-line inscriptions, the text must be assigned to the respective line, e.g."Z1 = Lift, Z2 =Lower". For long words you can also specify the end-of-line division.

Symbols can also be ordered with numbers according to ISO 7000 or IEC 60417 (see ordering example 2 and 3).

For special symbols (order code Y19), a CAD drawing in BMP, GIF, JEPG, PDF, PNG or TIFF format must be submitted. For special inscriptions (order code Y19): document in DOC or XLS format.
