Eaton EM22T3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Eaton EM22T3 pushbutton come with a light unit, or do I have to order the lamp separately?
The EM22T3 is an illuminated operator supplied with no light unit, so the LED or lamp module and the contact blocks are separate orders. Plan on adding the light unit and whatever NO/NC blocks your circuit needs when you buy the operator, otherwise you get a green extended button and chrome bezel that will not illuminate or switch anything.
2) What panel cutout does the Eaton EM22 series pushbutton need?
It is a 22.5 mm metallic operator, so it drops into the standard 22.5 mm round panel hole used across IEC control stations. No adapter is needed for a standard 22 mm cutout panel or enclosure door.
3) Can I use this Eaton pushbutton in an outdoor or washdown enclosure?
Yes. The EM22T3 carries NEMA 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 9 ratings, which covers rain and outdoor exposure (3/3R), hosedown and corrosion (4/4X), and dust and dripping oil in industrial plants (12). For washdown food or chemical areas the 4X rating is the one that matters, and the metallic body with chrome bezel is the corrosion-resistant build.
4) Is the Eaton EM22T3 momentary or maintained?
Momentary. It springs back as soon as you release it, which is what you want for a start button, a jog, or a reset. If the machine needs the contact to stay made after the operator lets go, this is the wrong part and you want a maintained or selector-type operator instead.
5) Is the Eaton EM22 pushbutton a flush button or does it stick out of the panel?
It is an extended button, so the actuator projects past the chrome bezel rather than sitting flush. That makes it easy to hit with a gloved hand, but it also means it can be bumped, so keep it clear of traffic or use a guarded or flush operator where accidental actuation is a concern.
6) Will the Eaton EM22T3 pass a CE inspection on export machinery?
The pushbutton is CE Marked and certified to IEC 947-5-1 MTTA, the low-voltage control circuit device standard, so it is acceptable on control gear built to IEC practice for European markets. That certification applies to the operator itself; the contact blocks and light unit you add carry their own ratings.
7) Why is the EM22T3 button green, and does the color matter for a control panel?
The actuator is green, which by convention on industrial panels marks start, run, or machine-ready. Combined with momentary action it is the standard choice for a start pushbutton. If you are building a start/stop station, pair it with a red operator for stop rather than using green for both.
8) Can I mix the Eaton EM22 metallic pushbutton with plastic 22 mm operators already in my panel?
Mechanically yes, since both use the same 22.5 mm cutout, but they will not look the same. The EM22 is a metallic body with a chrome bezel, so alongside black plastic operators it reads as a different device. On a station where a uniform appearance matters, standardize the whole row on the metallic EM22 line.
