Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does “1NC” mean on the 8LM2TC01?
“1NC” means the contact is Normally Closed and opens when the pushbutton or switch is actuated — ideal for stop, safety, and interlock functions.
Q: Is the 8LM2TC01 compatible with Lovato 8LM pushbuttons?
Yes. It is designed specifically for all Lovato 8LM series operator heads, including pushbuttons, selectors, and key switches.
Q: Can the 8LM2TC01 be stacked with other auxiliary contacts?
Yes. Lovato’s 8LM modular system allows stacking multiple NO and NC auxiliary blocks to build more advanced control logic.
Q: Is this suitable for PLC input circuits?
Absolutely. The 8LM2TC01 provides clean, reliable NC signal switching that works well with PLC digital inputs.
Q: What is the difference between 8LM2TC01 and 8LM2TC10?
8LM2TC01 provides 1NC contact.
8LM2TC10 provides 1NO contact. They are often paired for start/stop or enable/disable control logic.
