Momentary LED pushbutton switch 12 V IP66 MG Energy – MG5000287

A momentary pushbutton is a type of switch that only maintains its state (open or closed) while it is being pressed. As soon as the pressure is released, it automatically returns to its initial position. This model is equipped with an LED for visual indication.

This momentary pushbutton has a 12 V LED indicator and an IP66 protection rating. It is designed to serve as a wired external control for an MG Energy-compatible system.

The IP66 rating means the pushbutton is fully protected against dust ingress and is also protected against powerful water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for demanding environments, including marine or wet conditions.

The power supply for the built-in LED indicator on this push button must be compatible with a 12 V voltage.

The declared shipping weight for this push button is 0.03 kg.

The provided content includes a 12 V IP66 momentary LED pushbutton (reference MG5000287).

For a complete installation, you will need to purchase the following items separately:

The wiring harnessThe electrical protection (fuse, circuit breaker)An enclosure (if required for integration)A custom control study for your application

No, it is important not to confuse this momentary control button with a certified emergency stop device. It is not designed for this critical safety function.

This pushbutton is primarily compatible with the MG Master LV system. However, pinout and expected function validation is required by consulting the specific MG Energy equipment manual to which it will be connected.

The product is specifically intended for an external order on an MG Energy compatible system. Although the documentation mentions the MG Master LV, use with other MG Energy equipment would require thorough validation of the pinout, voltage, and function to ensure proper and safe compatibility.

This push button is designed to be connected to the External-start-button-I input, which is located on pin 4 of the A Signal IO connector on the MG Master LV.

The External-start-button-I input on the MG Master LV is a pull-down type input. This means it is activated when the button closes the circuit to ground (GND).

Before making any connections, it is essential to precisely define the desired function and consult the detailed wiring diagram in the MG Energy equipment manual to which the button will be connected (e.g., the MG Master LV).

It is strongly recommended to protect the LED power supply with an appropriate fuse. Additionally, it is advised to check contact continuity with a multimeter before finalizing the electrical connection.

Before putting the system into service, it is crucial to test the complete behavior of the installation to ensure all functions are correct and the system is secure.

Yes, a housing may be required to securely integrate the pushbutton, protecting it from the elements and ensuring a neat finish, depending on the installation location and environment.

Before installation, it is advisable to carefully check the voltage, currents, electrical protections, cooling, and interfaces of the entire system to ensure optimal and safe operation.

The pushbutton must be wired between the External-start-button-I input (pin 4 of the A Signal IO connector) and ground (GND, pin 6 of the same A Signal IO connector) on the MG Master LV. When the button is pressed, it creates a connection to ground, activating the input.

The MG Master LV has auxiliary outputs, such as Aux-power-O (pin 1 of the A Signal IO connector), which can provide up to 13.5V/1A. If the button LED is rated for 12V, it can be powered by one of these outputs, provided the voltage compatibility is verified and adequate electrical protection (e.g., a fuse) is added.

Installing this push button requires connecting it to a complex battery management system and validating wiring diagrams. It is therefore recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified integrator or a professional with knowledge of marine electrical systems to ensure safety and proper operation.
