INSTALLATION INFORMATION

1. Refer to
   • Page 4 for switch mounting torque
   • Page 5 for specifications
2. For mounting, note mounting dimension drawing for hole locations (Figure 5).
3. Mount switch
   3a. Torque switch to mounting surface: 2,5 Nm to 3 Nm [22.1 in-lb to 26.6 in-lb] using M4 screw
   3b. Care should be taken to ensure that all mounted hardware cannot become detached during the operational lifetime in the intended application
4. Loosen the screws on the switch’s cover and remove it.
5. For switches where the cable gland is not provided, use a gland rated Type 1 or higher to maintain the integrity of the enclosure-type rating.
6. Loosen gland cover, then torque the gland to the switch’s cover using 1 Nm to 2 Nm [8.85 in-lb to 17.7 in-lb] of force. Ensure the o-ring was assembled between the gland and the switch cover.
7. Use copper conductors rated at 75°C or higher. Thread the cable through the gland cover and gland, then press the wire into the contact block’s terminals.
8. Refer to circuit diagram on switch’s cover. Insert the terminals into the switch and then fully fix terminal screws: 0,5 Nm to 0,6 Nm [4.42 in-lb to 5.31 in-lb].
9. Perform functional tests. After wiring, use a voltmeter to ensure when the switch is operated (turned off and on) that a change of state occurs.
   9a. Confirm the normal closed contacts open when actuator is pushed or lever is rotated.
   9b. Confirm the normal open contacts closed when actuator is pushed or lever is rotated.
10. Reassemble up cover, and torque it: 0,5 Nm to 0,6 Nm [4.42 in-lb to 5.31 in-lb] using M3 screw.
11. Reassemble gland cover (0,8 Nm to 1,5 Nm torque)

Figure 3. Rotary Head Direction Change

1. Disassemble the head’s cross-type (combo-head) screw. Do not loosen or remove the other two Torx® screws.
2. Remove the switch cover by loosening the three (3) cover screws.
3. Lift slightly on the switch head.
4. Rotate the switch head to the desired direction ensuring the clip is still engaged with the head-neck slot.
5. If clip dislodges, return the clip to its location above the contact blow and below the top of the switch housing by fully re-inserting the clip.
6. Re-insert the cross-type (combo head) screw to re-assemble the switch’s head, 0,4 Nm to 0,5 Nm [3.54 in-lb to 4.42 in-lb].

PLUNGER HEAD DIRECTION CHANGE
Figure 4. Plunger Head Direction Change

1. Remove the switch cover by loosening the three (3) cover screws.
2. Use flat screw driver to lift up the clip.
3. Rotate the switch head to the desired direction.
4. Properly align the two pins on the switch’s head into the holes on the switch’s body.
5. Return the clip to its location above the contact blow and below the top of the switch housing by fully re-inserting the clip.
