Schneider XPER511 is a robust metal foot switch from the Harmony XPE range, designed for dependable hands-free machine control in demanding industrial environments. Finished in high-visibility orange, it features a protective shroud and trigger mechanism to help guard against unintended operation while supporting confident pedal use. The single-step design is equipped with 2 normally open and 2 normally closed contacts, making it suitable for control applications where clear, responsive switching is required. With an IP66 protection rating, screw clamp terminals and a durable metal construction, the XPER511 is well suited to harsh operating conditions where strength, reliability and resistance to dust and water ingress are important.

What type of device is this?
This is a single-pedal metal foot switch designed for industrial machine and equipment control applications. It has an orange housing, a protective cover, and a trigger mechanism for controlled foot operation.
Does it have a protective cover?
Yes. The unit is supplied with a protective cover, sometimes referred to as a shroud, which helps shield the pedal during use and supports more deliberate actuation.
Is it a single-step or multi-step foot switch?
It is a single-step foot switch, meaning the contacts change state in one operating step rather than across multiple pedal positions.
How many contacts are included?
It features 2 normally open contacts and 2 normally closed contacts. In Schneider notation for XPER511, this is listed as 2NO + 2NC.
What is the housing made from?
The body is made from metal, giving the switch a robust construction suited to demanding industrial settings.
What is the ingress protection rating?
The switch is rated IP66, indicating protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets when correctly installed.
How is the switch wired?
It uses screw clamp terminals. The terminal capacity is up to 1 x 2.5 mm² or up to 2 x 1.5 mm², with or without cable end fittings.
What cable entry size does it use?
The enclosure has 2 tapped entries for Pg 16 cable glands. An adaptor is required if an ISO M20 entry arrangement is needed.
What are the electrical ratings?
Key ratings include 3 A at 240 V AC-15 and 0.27 A at 250 V DC-13. It also has a rated insulation voltage of 500 V and an impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV.
Does it support positive opening operation?
Yes. It is specified with positive opening in accordance with EN/IEC 60947-5-1 appendix K.
What operating temperatures can it handle?
The stated ambient operating temperature range is -25 to 70 °C. The storage temperature range is -40 to 70 °C.
How durable is the mechanism?
The switch is rated for a mechanical durability of 15,000,000 operating cycles, making it suitable for repeated use in industrial environments.
What colour is the unit?
It is orange, which gives the foot switch a highly visible finish on the machine or work area.
How heavy is the switch?
The net product weight is approximately 2.59 kg, reflecting its solid metal construction.
What kind of applications is it commonly used for?
This style of foot switch is commonly used where hands-free control is preferred on industrial equipment, such as machinery stations, operator-controlled processes, and work areas where a pedal-operated command device is practical.
- Hands-free machine control where an operator needs to start or stop a function while keeping both hands available for positioning workpieces or tools
- Integration into industrial workstations that require a robust foot-operated switch with a protective cover to help prevent unintended operation
- Use on fabrication and assembly equipment where dependable pedal actuation is preferred over hand-operated controls
- Operation of presses, clamping systems and other mechanical equipment that benefit from a clearly defined single-step foot command
- Installation on packaging and production lines where repeated foot activation is needed throughout the working day
- Control of workshop machinery in demanding environments where a metal-bodied switch and high ingress protection are advantageous
- Use on conveyor, transfer and material-handling stations for local foot-operated command input
- Application on bench-mounted and floor-mounted industrial equipment where operators need a durable, fixed-position pedal interface
- Integration into bespoke control panels and OEM machinery requiring 2NO + 2NC contact configuration for control circuit flexibility
- Use in manufacturing cells where an enclosed, shrouded foot switch helps suit busy operator areas and regular industrial use
