The CB9 is a clip-on green LED illumination block that turns any CP or CM series pushbutton or switch into a backlit control, without needing a separate indicator lamp. It's a simple way to add run/ready status signalling behind a switch you already have installed — commonly used to backlight the start button on a DOL circuit. It clips on without tools and is held in UK stock for fast dispatch.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
Which switches does this fit?
It clips onto EMAS's CP and CM series pushbuttons and switches, adding LED backlighting to units that weren't originally illuminated — including the CP102K20KY double push button's optional running indicator.
What voltage does it need?
12-30V AC/DC, suited to PLC and relay-driven low-voltage circuits.
What does green typically indicate on a control panel?
Green is conventionally used for "running," "ready," or "power on" status, though final colour coding should follow your site's safety and HMI standards.
Can I add this to a switch I've already installed?
Yes — it's designed as a clip-on retrofit, so you don't need to replace the whole switch to add backlighting.
Industry Applications
- Motor control panels — backlighting a start button or running indicator on DOL starter circuits
- Manufacturing control panels — retrofitting backlit run/ready status to existing pushbuttons and switches
- Panel upgrades — adding visual confirmation to previously unlit start controls
