Until now, industrial users have had to choose between these two functions (defined by the IEC 60204 standards). However, by uniting both functions into one single device, Harmony XB4 and XB5 e-stops eliminates the decision making process and makes standard compliance easier.

Harmony XB4 and XB5 both feature a metal/plastic bezel with a 22mm hole. There is also a push pull, turn to release key release with a 30/40/60mm head, in addition to a new 3D label for better visibility.
