The Pilz PIT ES2.13 Operator Illuminated Black (Part Number: 400112) is a reliable and durable control and signal device, designed to provide operators with intuitive, illuminated feedback in industrial automation environments. As part of Pilz’s PIT ES range, this component is engineered to combine user-friendly functionality with rugged industrial performance.

With its supply voltage range of 12–30 V AC/DC, the device offers excellent versatility, allowing it to be integrated into a wide variety of control systems without requiring external adapters or voltage-specific models. This flexibility simplifies inventory management for OEMs and maintenance teams, as a single component can cover multiple application requirements.

The illuminated operator push-button is designed for clear, unambiguous signalling, helping operators quickly identify machine status or control actions. Its 0.7 W power consumption (DC) makes it energy efficient, delivering reliable illumination without adding unnecessary load to the control circuit. This efficiency is particularly valuable in installations where multiple illuminated controls are used across a system.

Built for use in demanding environments, the PIT ES2.13 has a wide ambient operating temperature range from -30 °C to +70 °C, allowing it to function reliably in both refrigerated areas and high-temperature industrial settings. The IP65-rated housing ensures that the device is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for washdown environments or areas prone to dust and moisture.

The operator unit’s black finish gives it a professional and functional appearance, making it a good fit for modern control panels and operator stations. The illuminated feedback improves usability and operator confidence, ensuring that critical signals or control inputs are visible under a range of lighting conditions.

Applications for the PIT ES2.13 span across machinery control panels, safety systems, process automation, packaging lines, and material handling systems. It is particularly suited for functions requiring clear human-machine interaction, such as start/stop commands, reset functions, or indication of machine states.

In combination with other Pilz control and safety devices, the PIT ES2.13 helps create ergonomic, safe, and efficient operator interfaces that contribute to overall machine reliability and safety compliance. Its balance of energy efficiency, robust protection, and intuitive design makes it a valuable addition to any automation or safety system.

In summary, the Pilz PIT ES2.13 Operator Illuminated Black (400112) is a rugged, flexible, and energy-efficient control device. With its wide voltage compatibility, IP65-rated protection, efficient illumination, and ergonomic operator design, it delivers reliable performance for industrial environments that demand both durability and usability.
