Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bulletin 800Z Zero-Force Touch Button, and when should I specify one?
800Z Zero-Force Touch Buttons activate on capacitive proximity with no physical travel or applied force — ideal for high-cycle operator stations (press lines, packaging runs) where traditional push-button wear and hand fatigue are concerns. They require pairing with a safety relay for 2-hand control applications (see the 440R-D23171 / D23169 / D23168 family in the 800Z footnotes).
How does the Bulletin 800P palm-operated push button differ from a standard 30 mm button?
The 800P is a large palm-sized operator (usually in a dedicated flush or surface enclosure) for operator stations where gloves, impaired dexterity, or rapid cycle work makes a conventional 22/30 mm button impractical. Operating force is 3.7 lb at the center (standard drive) or 3.7 lb center / 2.7 lb perimeter (articulated). Options include side guards (for unintentional-actuation protection) and die-cast boxes with single or double hub entries.
Is the 800Z-G Zero-Force Touch Button rated for wash-down applications?
Yes. The general-purpose 800Z-G series is rated NEMA Type 4/4X/13, IP66, with 1200 psi wash-down performance. The heavy-industrial 800Z-H series drops to NEMA Type 4/13 and IP66 (no 4X). The housing is Valox 357 with a BUNA-N gasket; ensure the 2-part 8-position terminal block is properly sealed during installation.
What's the difference between 800Z relay output and solid-state (PNP) output?
Relay-output 800Z (suffix L or F) provides a dry-contact normally- open / normally-closed relay set sharing a common; 200,000 ops @ 2 A inductive / 4 A resistive. Solid-state (suffix P, type 800Z-GN or 800Z-GP) provides a PNP (sourcing) transistor output on 10…30V DC with faster response. Use solid-state for direct PLC input; use relay for isolated high-current legacy circuits. Both have zero operating force.
Does Publication 800-TD010 replace 800-TD008 or 800-TD009?
No. 800-TD010 is the specialty-operator publication — it covers palm buttons (800P), zero-force touch (800Z), piezoelectric (800K), indicators (800L), and the 18 mm small pilot light. Standard 22 mm round push buttons live in Publication 800-TD008 (Bulletin 800F). Standard 30 mm round push buttons live in Publication 800-TD009 (Bulletin 800T / 800H). Cross-reference all three TDs when spec'ing a mixed operator station.
What safety relays are compatible with 800Z 2-hand control applications?
For 2-hand control using two relay-output 800Z touch buttons, Rockwell recommends 440R-D23171 (24V), 440R-D23169 (120V), or 440R-D23168 (240V) — ordered separately (footnote 1 of the 800Z catalog number tables). Refer to the 440R Guardmaster product page for pinout and certification coverage.
