Problem

The following style Start Stop Box

and a similar box that looks identical except for a lack of Emergency-stop switch

has buttons that can become unusable due to dust buildup.

Solution

This model Start Stop Box has been discontinued.

To repair the problem, Contact Support and obtain a new button or a new style Start Stop Box.

In a pinch, the buttons can be made to work temporarily by one of the following methods:

Repeatedly exercise the switch aggressively.

Disassemble the switch and clean the contacts

Replace the switch with any other similar switch (pause is normally closed and start is normally open)
