Always ensure power is disconnected before installation or maintenance. Only qualified personnel should perform electrical work. Follow all local and national electrical codes.
Product Overview and Components
The Honeywell RP22 series offers a range of robust industrial control switches designed for various applications. Key components include:
- Push Button Switches: Available in illuminated (e.g., green, red, yellow) and non-illuminated versions, with momentary or latching actions.
- Selector Switches: Multi-position switches for selecting different operational modes.
- Key Switches: Operated by a key for restricted access control.
- Contact Blocks: Modular components (e.g., Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC)) that attach to the switch actuator to provide electrical contacts.
Installation Instructions
- Power Disconnection: Ensure all power to the circuit is disconnected before beginning installation.
- Panel Cutout: Prepare the mounting panel with the appropriate cutout size for the switch body. Refer to the specifications section for dimensions.
- Mounting the Actuator: Insert the switch actuator (push button, selector, or key switch head) through the panel cutout from the front. Secure it with the provided locking nut from the rear.
- Attaching Contact Blocks: Align the contact block(s) with the actuator mechanism at the rear of the panel. Push firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the contact type (NO/NC) matches your wiring diagram.
- Wiring: Connect the electrical wires to the terminals of the contact block(s) according to your control circuit diagram. For illuminated switches, connect the lamp terminals to the appropriate power source (e.g., DC24V for ARP22-10-G R Y-DC24V models).
- Verification: Double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity.
- Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the circuit.
Operation
- Push Button Switches: Press the button to activate the circuit. For momentary types, the circuit activates only while pressed. For latching types, press once to activate, press again to deactivate. Illuminated buttons will light up when the circuit is active or as wired for status indication.
- Selector Switches: Rotate the switch knob to the desired position. Each position corresponds to a different contact configuration, as defined by your control system.
- Key Switches: Insert the key and turn it to the desired position to activate or deactivate the circuit. Remove the key to secure the position.
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the switch surface clean from dust and debris using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspect Connections: Periodically check electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Functionality Check: Regularly test the switch for proper operation (e.g., smooth actuation, correct contact response, illumination if applicable).
- Contact Block Replacement: If a contact block fails, disconnect power, remove the faulty block, and replace it with an identical new one.
Troubleshooting
Switch Not Responding
- No Power: Check if power is supplied to the control circuit and, for illuminated switches, to the lamp.
- Loose Connections: Inspect all wiring connections to the switch and contact block for looseness.
- Faulty Contact Block: The internal contacts may be worn or damaged. Replace the contact block.
- Incorrect Wiring: Verify that the switch is wired correctly according to the circuit diagram.
Illumination Not Working (for illuminated switches)
- Lamp Failure: The internal LED or bulb may have failed. Replace the illuminated actuator or lamp module if separable.
- Incorrect Voltage: Ensure the correct voltage (e.g., DC24V) is supplied to the lamp terminals.
- Wiring Issue: Check the wiring to the lamp terminals for breaks or loose connections.

User Tips
- Modular Design: The RP22 series often features a modular design, allowing you to mix and match actuators (push buttons, selectors) with different contact blocks (NO, NC) to suit specific application needs. Ensure compatibility when selecting components.
- Color Coding: Utilize the different color options (green, red, yellow, blue) for push buttons to clearly indicate function (e.g., green for start, red for stop, yellow for warning).
- Panel Thickness: Always verify your panel thickness is within the acceptable range for secure mounting of the switch.
