Remote power controller Bachmann 917.046 — black housing, stainless steel front

Bachmann 917.046 is a remote power controller with a black housing and a stainless steel front button for on/off switching. It is designed for installation in environments where accessible and discreet power control is required, such as workstations, kitchens, or AV setups. The device connects via a 2‑pole screw terminal and requires approximately 30 mm installation depth.

Advantages

The stainless steel front provides durable and easy-to-clean surface while the compact black housing allows integration into different interior styles. The screw terminal connection ensures secure wiring and the low switching capacity makes it suitable for controlling small loads or signalling circuits. The device’s shallow installation depth helps fit it into furniture or panels with limited space.

How to use

Install the controller into a panel or furniture cut-out with at least 30 mm depth. Make electrical connections to the 2‑pole screw terminal following the device wiring scheme and applicable safety regulations. Use the stainless steel button on the front to switch the connected circuit on or off.

Recommendations

Use the controller to switch low-current loads or as a control input for relays and signal circuits. Do not exceed the rated switching capacity of 50 mA/24 V DC; for higher loads, use an external relay or contactor.
