Tighten firmly by hand. 6

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE 1. Connecting switches that have indicator lamps 1.1 Series connection Up to six switches can be connected in series when the power is 100V. The brightness of the LED lamp is fixed regardless of the power, since light is generated by a built-in fixed-current diode. 1.2 PC connection possible The leakage current when the limit switch is not operating is a maximum of 0.6 ma. The PC will not malfunction due to dim lighting of the LED. Moreover, a fixed-current diode is built in to ensure a fixed LED brightness regardless of the power voltage. 2. Handling of connector and preleaded connector switches 2.1 Tightening the fixing cap ring and outside screw lock ring If the screw of the mating part is made of resin, the threads can easily be damaged when the connector is first tightened. When assembling the connector, align the center of the cores, push in as far as possible, and then turn to tighten. Be sure to tighten fully by hand. The recommended tightening torque is 0.4 to 0.6 N m. Use of a tightening tool may damage the connector. If the connector is not tightened firmly, IP67 protection may be lost, or the connector may come loose. wipe it off completely before connecting again. Failure to observe these precautions may result in a short circuit or a failed connection. 3. Other 3.1 Protective structure IP67 protection does not assure complete waterproofing. Switch should not be in constant contact with water. Avoid use where external force is applied at all times on the connecting section of the connector. Do not use the body as a step or place heavy objects on top of it. 3.2 Ensuring a good seal When general-purpose limit switches are used in locations subject to splashing by water, oil, dirt and dust, or chips, water or oil sometimes enters the switch from the conduit due to capillary action. For this reason, be sure to use a sealed connector compatible with the cable. When the screws in the head or covers are loosened to change the operating direction of the switch, or the relationship between switch operation and the indicator lamp (lamp ON during switch standby / during switch operation), tighten the screws to the recommended tightening torque to ensure a good seal. Recommended tightening torque Cover: 1.3 to 1.7 N m (M4 screw) Head: 0.8 to 1.2 N m (M3.5 screw) 3.3 Attaching switches 2.2 Inserting and removing connectors Before inserting or removing connectors, be sure to the turn the power OFF. When removing, hold the connector itselfdo not pull by the cable. 2.3 Cautions when bending cables The minimum bend radius (R) of the cable is 80 mm. Allow sufficient cable for bends. Tighten each of the parts on the limit switch according to the appropriate tightening torques listed in the performance tables. Overtightening damages screws and other parts. On the other hand, insufficient tightening of screws lowers the effectiveness of the seal and reduces various performance characteristics. Do not leave or use covers and conduit parts open. Water, dirt, or dust may enter, which causing malfunction. Prevent impact to the lever body and head. Failure to do so might deform the actuator or cause defective switch return. Do not use silicone rubber electrical lead insulation, silicone adhesive or grease containing silicone. Doing so might result in defective electrical conductivity. 2.4 Installation of connector type switches (unit: mm) 3.4 Wiring Do not perform wiring with the power ON. Doing so might cause electric shock, or the machine may start unexpectedly, causing an accident. Use crimp-type terminal lugs with covered insulation for electrical leads to prevent contact with covers and housings. If a crimp-type terminal lug contacts a cover, the cover may no longer shut or a ground fault may occur. Use sealed connectors (PA1 Series, etc. sold separately) or flexible tubing (PA3 Series) with IP67 or equivalent seal for conduits. Firmly tighten covers and conduits. If covers and conduits are not sufficiently tightened, the seal will be impaired and switch performance will no longer be assured. Approx.15 (insertion/removal space) 2.5 Cautions when replacing connectors When removing connectors to replace the switch or cable, wipe the connector and the surrounding area thoroughly to remove any water. After removing the connector, do not allow it to be immersed in chemicals or powder, or to be dropped. If the connector is immersed in a fluid, allow it to fully dry before connecting again. If the connector is dropped in powder, 3.5 Adjusting switches Do not apply excessive force (5 times O.F.) to the actuator beyond the total travel position. Doing so might damage the switch. Keep overtravel between 1/3 to 2/3 of the rated value. Small overtravel might cause the contacts to rattle due to vibration and impact, or may result in defective contact. 4. Environment Do not use the product in an environment where the cover may directly come into contact with any strong volatile solvent. Do not use the switch in an environment where strong acid or alkali is directly splashed onto it. 7

6. Other cautions Do not apply a lubricant to the sliding part of the actuator or any other component. Application of an inappropriate lubricant may degrade sliding performance or impair the protective structure. Remove any foreign substances adhering to the sliding part. Dust or any other foreign substance attached to the sliding part may cause a malfunction. Check the actual load. To increase reliability, confirm that the switch has no problems in actual use before using the switch. 8
