Schneider Electric XY2CE1A297 Cable Pull Limit Switch

The Schneider Electric XY2CE1A297 cable pull limit switch provides emergency-stop functionality and machine shutdown protection in industrial safety systems, and is commonly installed on conveyors, packaging lines, transfer machines, and material‑handling equipment along extended production areas. Part of the Telemecanique XY2C family, it uses a cable‑pull actuator with 2 NC + 2 NO contacts (slow‑break) for reliable stopping signals. It operates from a 230–240 V AC supply and includes a yellow pilot light for local signaling. Key installation details include screw‑clamp terminals, an IP66 enclosure with zamak housing and a stainless steel cover, a right‑side trigger cable anchor, and a booted push‑button reset. The unit supports up to 70 m cable length and is designed for safety levels up to PL e, Category 4, and SIL 3 with an appropriate monitoring system. It complies with IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60947-5-5, IEC 60204-1, ISO 13850, and UL 508, and carries CE, UL, CSA, and CCC certifications. Common replacements include XY2CE1A250, XY2CH13250, and XY2CD111.
