Schneider Electric Biometric Switch

The Schneider Electric Biometric Switch is a momentary PNP light switch designed for 24V DC circuits. It authenticates users through biometric verification and stores up to 200 records for access control. The unit fits a standard 22 mm mounting hole and connects via a 2 metre, three-wire cable.

Thermals noise and power draw

Operating temperature spans 23 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit with an IP65 and NEMA 12 rated polyamide housing. The momentary action draws a maximum of 200 mA and responds in under one second. No moving fan or active cooling is present so acoustic output is negligible.

Build integration and clearance

The compact body measures 2.73 inches wide, 2.13 inches high and 1.53 inches deep for tight panel layouts. CSA, RoHS and UL listed certifications simplify compliance in regulated projects. Builders needing latching operation or higher current capacity should specify a different switch type.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 22 mm biometric switch and wire the 2 m three-wire PNP cable?

Drill a 22 mm hole, secure the polyamide housing, then connect the 2 m three-wire cable to a 24 V DC supply observing PNP polarity; the momentary output activates in under one second.

What maintenance does the 200-record biometric switch need over time?

The sealed IP65 front requires only occasional cleaning; the internal memory holds 200 enrolment records with no battery or moving parts to replace.

At what temperature does the 24 V DC biometric switch reach its operating limit first?

Continuous operation is rated from 23 °F to 122 °F; exceeding 122 °F is the first limit encountered under sustained use.
