Inscription of actuating and signaling elements
Actuating and signaling elements of plastic as well as metal can 
be optionally inscribed with a laser.
Example of laser inscription
The actuators of the pushbuttons, illuminated pushbuttons, twin 
pushbuttons, mushroom pushbuttons, illuminated mushroom 
pushbuttons, EMERGENCY STOP mushroom pushbuttons 
(without lock), the lenses of the indicator lights, and the acoustic 
signaling devices can all be inscribed.
Version
Text inscriptions have centered alignment and a font height of 
4 mm as standard. 
The typeface used is Arial. Other letter heights and typefaces 
are possible, but must be specified when ordering.
The maximum possible number of characters per line is:
• 10 characters for one line of text
• 8 characters for 2 lines of text
• 6 characters for 3 lines of text, but 10 characters in the middle 
line
Note:
Selected pushbuttons and twin pushbuttons can be supplied as 
standard with inscribed letters or symbols.
Selector switches, key-operated switches and toggle switches 
can be inscribed on the front ring only if they are made of plastic 
(only one text line and the supplement Y19). 
Assignment of the positions on the actuator
Ordering notes
To order, the inscribed actuating and signaling elements can be 
selected via the SIRIUS ACT Configurator. An electronic order 
form is then generated.
For configurator, see
• www.siemens.com/sirius-act/configurator
• Electronic Catalog CA 01 on DVD or
• Industry Mall: www.siemens.com/industrymall
When ordering, add –Z and an order code to the article number 
of the actuator or the indicator light:
• Y10: Text line in upper/lower case, all lines begin with upper 
case letters (e.g. line 1: Text/line 2: Text)
• Y11: Text in upper case (e.g. LIFT)
• Y12: Text in lower case (e.g. lift/off/lower)
• Y15: Text in upper/lower case, all words begin with upper 
case letters (e.g. On/Off)
• Y13: Symbol with number according to ISO 7000 or 
IEC 60417
• Y19: Inscription of choice, text or symbol, can only be ordered 
via SIRIUS ACT Configurator with a Configuration Identifica-
tion Number (CIN)
When ordering, specify the required inscription in plain text with-
out spaces, in addition to the article number and order code. In 
the case of special inscriptions with words in languages other 
than German, give the exact spelling and specify the language. 
In the case of symbols with number, quote the corresponding 
standard 
(see ordering example 1).
In the case of multi-line inscriptions, the text must be assigned 
to the respective line, e.g. Z1=Lift, Z2=Lower.
Symbols can also be ordered with numbers according to 
ISO 7000 or IEC 60417 (see ordering examples 2 and 3).
The SIRIUS ACT Configurator must be used to select special 
inscriptions and symbols (order code Y19). In this case a CIN 
(Configuration Identification Number) is generated for place-
ment of future orders. It is then possible to place an order directly 
using the CIN and the SIRIUS ACT Configurator (Mall shopping 
cart) or via the standard ordering channels.
