Common Concerns Answered
Is the 4-foot lead wire sufficient for all installations?
While the 4-foot lead wire is adequate for many typical dash installations, longer runs may require splicing or extension. Consider your specific vessel's wiring pathways before purchase.
Can this switch be used for functions requiring continuous power?
No, this is a momentary contact switch designed for temporary activation (Off/(On)), not for latching functions that maintain a circuit.
What if I need a different color LED or a latching function?
This specific model features blue and red LEDs and a momentary function. For alternative illumination colors or latching operation, explore other models within the Bluewater range or comparable switch manufacturers that offer those specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the Bluewater 19mm Push Button Switch?
The switch operates with momentary contact, meaning it only activates the connected circuit while the button is depressed. It returns to its 'Off' state when released, indicated by the (On) designation in Off/(On).
Is this switch waterproof?
Yes, this switch features an IP69K waterproof rating, the highest standard for protection against dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
What type of LED illumination does this switch have?
It utilizes a dual-LED system: a blue LED for constant backlighting and a red LED that illuminates when the switch is actively engaging the circuit (function is 'On').
What is the current and voltage rating for this switch?
The switch is rated for 15 Amperes (A) at 12 to 24 Volts Direct Current (VDC).
What size hole is required for installation?
A standard 19mm diameter mounting hole is required for installation of this push button switch.
