The Pilz PIT ES6.10 Operator Red (part no. 400610) is a compact and reliable control and signal device designed for use in industrial safety and automation systems. As part of the trusted Pilz PIT product range, it provides operators with a durable, ergonomically designed interface for executing safety-related and control functions in demanding production environments.

Built for resilience, the device features an IP65-rated housing, providing full protection against dust ingress and resistance to low-pressure water jets from any direction. This ensures reliable operation in environments exposed to moisture, dust, or frequent cleaning processes, making it well-suited to industries such as packaging, food and beverage, logistics, automotive, and manufacturing.

The wide operating temperature range of -30 °C to +70 °C highlights its suitability for use in both chilled environments, such as cold storage facilities, and hot industrial settings. This thermal resilience ensures consistent performance across diverse working conditions, minimising the risk of failure due to environmental factors.

With its compact form factor—measuring 24.5 mm in height and 28 mm in diameter—the PIT ES6.10 is engineered for space-efficient installation. Its small size allows it to integrate easily into modern control panels or operator stations where space is at a premium. Despite its compact footprint, the device offers robust performance and user-friendly operation.

The operator’s red colour makes it especially effective for use in applications where visual distinction is essential. Red is commonly employed for emergency stop or critical control functions, ensuring that operators can quickly identify and access the control element in urgent situations. This supports both operator safety and compliance with ergonomic design principles.

At only 17 g net weight, the unit is lightweight yet mechanically durable, reflecting Pilz’s high-quality engineering standards. Its rugged construction ensures longevity, even under frequent actuation cycles or heavy-duty industrial use.

As part of the Pilz PIT ecosystem, the ES6.10 Operator Red integrates seamlessly with Pilz emergency stop devices, contact blocks, and safety relays, enabling engineers to create modular, scalable, and standards-compliant control systems. This integration simplifies installation and commissioning while providing the assurance of compatibility across the safety chain.

In practical use, the PIT ES6.10 Operator Red is well-suited for deployment as a manual operator control, particularly in safety-critical systems where clear identification and reliable actuation are required. Whether used in machine start/stop applications, safety override functions, or emergency stop configurations, it delivers consistent and dependable performance.

In summary, the Pilz PIT ES6.10 Operator Red is a compact, durable, and high-visibility operator element built for reliability in industrial environments. With its IP65-rated housing, wide temperature tolerance, lightweight design, and integration within the Pilz safety ecosystem, it provides engineers and operators alike with a dependable control solution for maintaining safety and efficiency in modern automation systems.
