Siemens 3SU1150-1HB20-1FH0 — SIRIUS ACT Emergency Stop 40mm Twist Release (2NC)

Red 40mm mushroom head emergency stop, Siemens SIRIUS ACT series. Twist-to-release reset, 22mm cutout, IP66/IP69K, metal housing, with 2NC contacts.

Common Applications

Siemens emergency stop with 40mm mushroom head and twist-to-release mechanism. The 2NC contact configuration provides redundant safety — both contacts must open to signal the emergency stop, meeting EN/ISO 13850 and IEC 60947-5-5 requirements for safety-critical circuits. Found on Siemens robot cells, CNC machine tools with SINUMERIK controls, and automated assembly lines in automotive plants. The dual NC contacts wire directly into Siemens F-series safety PLCs for SIL 3 rated emergency stop circuits. The IP66/IP69K metal construction withstands coolant, metal chips, and high-pressure washdown.

Installation Quick Reference

Panel cutout: 22mm. Mount with the yellow backing plate visible (required by EN/ISO 13850).

Wiring: Wire NC contacts in series with the safety relay input channels. Use dual-channel wiring for SIL 3 / PLe applications. Never wire directly to a motor contactor.

Testing: Press the e-stop and verify the machine stops within the required time. Test the reset mechanism. Repeat monthly per EN/ISO 13850.

Troubleshooting

E-stop won't reset (twist/pull doesn't release)

Check for debris in the mechanism. For twist-release: turn clockwise 45-90 degrees. For push-pull: pull straight out firmly. If the mechanism is stuck, the internal latch may be damaged — replace the entire head assembly.

Machine doesn't stop when e-stop is pressed

Critical safety issue. Immediately lock out the machine. Check wiring — NC contacts must be in series with the safety relay. Verify the safety relay is functioning. A broken wire in an NC circuit should cause a stop, so check for a wiring bypass.

Safety relay faults after e-stop reset

The safety relay detects a cross-fault between the two monitoring channels. Check that both NC contacts on the e-stop are switching simultaneously. One contact may be welded closed — replace the contact block.
