Safety Precautions
Refer to Safety Precautions for All Limit Switches.
Precautions for Correct Use
Operating Environment
• Seal material may deteriorate if a Switch is used outdoor or where
subject to special cutting oils, solvents, or chemicals. Always
appraise performance under actual application conditions and set
suitable maintenance and replacement periods.
• Install Switches where they will not be directly subject to cutting
chips, dust, or dirt. The Actuator and Switch must also be protected
from the accumulation of cutting chips or sludge.
Not Suitable
Suitable
• Constantly subjecting a Switch to vibration or shock can result in
wear, which can lead to contact interference with contacts,
operation failure, reduced durability, and other problems.
Excessive vibration or shock can lead to false contact operation or
damage. Install Switches in locations not subject to shock and
vibration and in orientations that will not produce resonance.
• The Switches have physical contacts. Using them in environments
containing silicon gas will result in the formation of silicon oxide
(SiO2) due to arc energy. If silicon oxide accumulates on the
contacts, contact interference can occur. If silicon oil, silicon filling
agents, silicon cables, or other silicon products are present near the
Switch, suppress arcing with contact protective circuits (surge
killers) or remove the source of silicon gas.
Wiring
Wiring Procedure
1. Loosen the cover mounting screws and remove the cover.
2. Disconnect the rubber connector from the box conduit and crimp a
solderless terminal. The following solderless terminals are
available.
3. After inserting the solderless terminal into the Switch, tighten the
terminal screws securely.
4. After wiring the Limit Switch, insert the rubber connector into the
groove of the box securely.
5. Tighten the three mounting screws evenly. The optimum tightening
torque for each screw is 0.49 to 0.59 N·m.
