Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your APIELE push button switch. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Mounting the Switch
- Ensure the mounting surface has a clean, circular hole with a diameter of 22mm (7/8 inch).
- The panel thickness should be between 1mm and 10mm.
- Insert the switch body into the mounting hole from the front of the panel.
- Secure the switch from the rear using the provided nut. Tighten the nut to a torque of 5 - 14Nm. Do not overtighten.
- Place the rubber O-ring between the switch body and the panel on the front side to enhance splash resistance.
2. Wiring Instructions
The switch comes with a pigtail socket for easier wiring. The switch features 1 Normally Open (NO) and 1 Normally Closed (NC) contact, along with dedicated terminals for the LED indicator. Refer to the wiring diagram below:
Image: Detailed wiring diagram illustrating the connections for the switch contacts (Normally Open, Normally Closed) and the LED indicator (Positive, Negative).
- Yellow Wire: Connects to the Normally Closed (NC) pin. This circuit is closed when the button is not pressed and opens when pressed.
- Blue Wire: Connects to the Normally Open (NO) pin. This circuit is open when the button is not pressed and closes when pressed.
- Red Wire: Connects to the Positive (+) terminal for the 12V LED indicator.
- Black Wire: Connects to the Negative (-) terminal for the 12V LED indicator.
Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits. The LED requires a 12V AC/DC power supply.
Operating Instructions
The APIELE 22mm Momentary Push Button Switch operates with a self-resetting momentary action. This means:
- Press and Hold: When the button is pressed and held, the switch contacts change state (NO closes, NC opens), and the LED indicator illuminates (if wired to do so).
- Release: Upon releasing the button, it automatically returns to its original position, and the switch contacts revert to their initial state (NO opens, NC closes). The LED will turn off unless wired to remain on independently.
This type of switch is ideal for applications requiring temporary contact, such as horn buttons, power activation, or signal triggers.

Maintenance
The APIELE 22mm Momentary Push Button Switch is designed for low maintenance due to its durable construction and IP65 protection rating.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the button surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Water Resistance: The switch is IP65 rated, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. The included rubber O-ring provides splash resistance. Important: This switch is not designed to be submerged underwater.
- Inspection: Regularly check the wiring connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure the nut securing the switch remains tight.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your APIELE push button switch, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Switch Not Activating:
- Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly matched to the NO/NC terminals.
- Verify that the power supply to the circuit is active and within the specified voltage range (e.g., 12V for the LED).
- Inspect the switch for any physical damage or obstructions preventing full depression.
- LED Not Illuminating:
- Confirm that the Red (+) and Black (-) wires for the LED are correctly connected to a 12V power source.
- Check for continuity in the LED circuit.
- Ensure the power supply to the LED is active.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Loose wiring connections are a common cause of intermittent operation. Re-secure all terminals.
- Check for any corrosion on the terminals or within the pigtail socket.
If the problem persists after performing these checks, contact customer support for further assistance.
