ActiveHarmony XALD 2-Button Start/Stop Station
Schneider XALD 2-button station — green start + red stop in one enclosure.
Common Applications
The most common control station in the world. Green start (1NO) and red stop (1NC) in a single IP66 sealed enclosure. Mount on a wall or machine frame. Pre-wired with cable glands. Found on millions of motor starters, pump stations, and conveyor lines globally. One part number = complete start/stop station.
Compatibility
Uses standard XB4/XB5 buttons and contact blocks internally. Buttons can be individually replaced if needed.

Installation Quick Reference
Panel cutout: 22mm. Insert from the front of the panel, secure with mounting nut from behind (tighten to 2-3 Nm).
Contact block: Snap or screw the contact block onto the rear of the button body. Ensure the contact block orientation matches the wiring diagram — NO terminals are usually marked.
Wiring: Use 0.5-2.5mm² stranded wire with ferrules. Tighten screw terminals to 0.8 Nm. Test the button function before energizing the circuit.

Troubleshooting
Button doesn't respond when pressed
Check the contact block first — it's the most common failure point. Test continuity across the NO or NC terminals with a multimeter. If no click is felt, the return spring in the head may be broken.
Works intermittently
Contact block contacts are pitted or burned. Replace the contact block — don't try to file the contacts. Check if the rated cycle count has been exceeded.
Button feels mushy or doesn't click
The spring return mechanism in the button head is worn. Replace the head. The contact block can usually be reused if it tests OK.
