ZB4-BA6
ActiveHarmony XB4 Blue Flush Push Button Head
Blue flush push button head for Schneider Harmony XB4 series. 22mm cutout, IP66 rated. Used for reset and auxiliary functions.
Common Applications
Blue push button head used for non-safety auxiliary functions per IEC 60204-1 — blue indicates a mandatory action or special function. Common on CNC machines for coolant on/off, food processing lines for rinse cycle activation, and HVAC panels for damper control. In many European panel designs, blue signals a function that is neither start (green) nor stop (red) but requires operator attention. Requires a separate contact block — snap on a ZB4-BZ101 (1NO) or ZB4-BZ102 (1NC) depending on the application. The metal bezel matches the premium XB4 family aesthetic.

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.
Wiring Diagram
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.
