SIRIUS Act 3SU1...

Pilot Device (Pushbutton & Indicator) · Electrical Components & Switchgear

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified​​⁠‌‍‌‍‍‍‌⁠‌‌‍⁠‍‍‌​‌

The Siemens SIRIUS Act 3SU1 is a range of pilot devices such as pushbuttons, indicator lights and selector switches, covered by DNV certificate TAE00002XH. They are mounted in control panels, consoles and switchgear doors for operator control and signalling. They are used throughout shipboard electrical systems for starting, stopping and indicating equipment status.

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Contact block wear/pitting reducing reliable switching after repeated cycles
  • LED module failure in illuminated pushbuttons or indicator lights
  • Water/dust ingress at the panel gasket if the front unit is not correctly seated, degrading the IP rating
  • Mounting collar cracking from over-tightening during installation
  • Corrosion of contact terminals in humid engine room or deck environments
  • Wear of the pushbutton return spring reducing tactile feel and reliability over time

Inspection checklist

  • Function-test each pushbutton, switch and indicator for correct operation and labelling
  • Check gasket/seal condition at the panel cut-out for water ingress protection
  • Inspect contact terminals for corrosion or loose wiring
  • Verify E-stop pushbuttons latch and release correctly and are not painted over or obstructed
  • Check LED indicator brightness/colour against a reference unit
  • Confirm mounting is secure with no play in the panel cut-out

Service intervals

Function test of pushbuttons/E-stopsas part of routine control panel checks, typically every 6-12 months
Contact terminal inspectionannual
Gasket/seal condition checkannual, or at panel overhaul

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Critical spares

  • Pushbutton/switch actuator (front unit)
  • Contact block (NO/NC module)
  • LED lamp module
  • Mounting collar/gasket set

Safety

  • E-stop pushbuttons in this range are safety devices - never bypass, paint over or obstruct them
  • Work on live control circuits during contact block replacement - isolate and lock out first
  • Incorrect contact block wiring (NO vs NC) can defeat a safety function - verify against the circuit diagram after any replacement

Class survey

Note: the catalog category and type for this entry ('Emergency Generator Set' / 'Emergency Power') do not match the manufacturer's actual product. Siemens SIRIUS ACT 3SU1 is a modular range of pushbuttons, indicator lights, selector switches and E-stops used to build control/pilot stations; it may be fitted on an emergency generator's local control panel, but is not itself a generator set. This entry addresses that actual product and should be re-verified against the DNV TA certificate (TAE00002XH) before publishing. Where fitted as an E-stop or remote emergency stop, class and flag-state surveys typically require function testing as part of the associated machinery's periodic safety system test.

Estimated lifetime: Electromechanical life for this class of pushbutton/switch is typically rated by the maker in switching cycles rather than running hours - confirm the specific rating against the Siemens SIRIUS ACT 3SU1 datasheet for the exact contact block fitted.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
