Inscription of actuators and indicators

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

Example of laser inscription

The actuators of the pushbuttons, illuminated pushbuttons, twin pushbuttons, mushroom pushbuttons, illuminated mushroom pushbuttons, EMERGENCY STOP mushroom pushbuttons (without lock), the lenses of the indicator lights, and the acoustic signaling devices can all be inscribed.

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.

Note

Selected pushbuttons and twin pushbuttons can be supplied as standard with inscribed letters or symbols.

Selector switches, key-operated switches and toggle switches can be inscribed only if they are made of plastic (only one text line on the front ring and the supplement Y19).

Ordering notes

To order, the inscribed actuators and indicators can be selected via the SIRIUS ACT Configurator. An electronic order form is then generated.

Configurator see

• http://www.siemens.com/sirius-act/configurator
• Electronic Catalog CA 01 on DVD or
• Industry Mall: http://www.siemens.com/industrymall

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

• Y10: Text line in upper/lower case, always upper case for beginning of line (e.g. Lift / Off):
• Y11: Text in upper case (e.g. LIFT)
• Y12: Text in lower case (e.g. lift / off / lower):
• Y15: Text in upper/lower case, all words begin with upper case letters (e.g. On / Off)
• Y13: Symbol with number according to ISO 7000 or IEC 60417
• Y19: Inscription of choice, text or symbol, can only be ordered via SIRIUS ACT Configurator with a Configuration Identification Number (CIN)

When ordering, specify the required inscription in plain text without spaces, 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).

The SIRIUS ACT Configurator must be used to select special inscriptions and symbols (order code Y19).
In this case a CIN (Configuration Identification Number) is generated for placement of future orders.
It is then possible to place an order directly using the CIN and the SIRIUS ACT Configurator (Mall shopping cart) or via the standard ordering channels.
