6. Known Issues

Plcpartssolution.com and MROSupply incorrectly describe this unit as illuminated (one claiming green LED, 120V transformer type). Definitively incorrect — all Rockwell official cut sheets, configurator output (description: "PB-Non-Illum."), and authoritative distributor listings confirm NON-ILLUMINATED red mushroom head. Buyers should verify against Rockwell's configurator cut sheet before ordering from unfamiliar sources. No mechanical or reliability issues reported.
