4.0 Use and Operation of the PB16
The PB-16 can be used to operate a single pushbutton in most applications.
Two significant factors that will affect whether it will work in your application are 1) is there enough clear
space for the mounting magnet, and 2) is the surface suitable for attaching magnet to successfully hold
the actuator in place. In determining suitability of the surface, one must consider the following:

Is the mounting surface is ferrous?

Is the mounting surface material thick enough? This is sometimes difficult to determine without
experimentation. We have tested the magnet successfully on material as thin as 0.062" which
should apply to most installations.
