Modular Guarded Red Push Button (1NO)

Part number: MP - 2 - 10R
ABB Modular (MP) Series Introduced circa 2005

Red guarded (shrouded) push button, ABB Modular series. 22mm cutout, IP65, with integrated 1NO contact. Guard ring prevents accidental activation.

Common Applications

Guarded (shrouded) red push button with a raised ring around the actuator to prevent accidental activation. Despite being red, this is a 1NO contact — used for critical functions where you want the red color to signal importance but need a normally-open circuit. Common applications include manual trip buttons on turbine control panels, purge cycle initiation on combustion systems, and conveyor reverse functions where accidental activation could cause equipment damage. The guard ring requires a deliberate finger insertion to press, eliminating bumps and brush-by activations in crowded panels.

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.
