INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Turn off the power to make electrical connections or before any maintenance on the switch or equipment where it is applied.
Electric shock will result in death or serious injury.
- Installation and maintenance services for electrical equipment should be executed only by qualified personnel.
- Read these instructions carefully. Retain instructions for future reference.
- Inappropriate use of the product could result in personal injury and/or property.
- Failure to observe the above precautions may cause irreparable damage to switch.
- To install the product, attempt to the specified limits to ensure a correct performance.
- Do not lubricate or modify the switch at risk of causing the locking mechanism or "short circuit".
- Avoid environments where temperature changes cause condensation or where occur excessive vibration and shock and may
damage the proper functioning of the switch.
- Avoid environments where there are explosive or inflammable gas.
- Positive Opening
: attention to the values specified in the catalog to the necessary travel and force to ensure a perfect
operation of positive opening system.
- Do not use these products as a mechanical stop.
- Do not use these products as a safety or emergency stop devices or in any other application where the failure of the product
could result in personal injury.

1- Electrical Connections
- Solder terminal:
Solder terminal
.Soldering at 350 °C. Applying the soldering iron continually for up to 3 s. If necessary,
reapply the soldering iron with a minimum interval of 10 s.
.Avoid penetration of the soldering or gas flow into the switch. If possible, solder the
switch in a favorable position for disposing the solder to flow outside the enclosure and
use additional means (continuous airflow) to expel the gases
.Do not apply excessive force on the terminals during soldering. Let cool for several
minutes before applying any effort.
.Avoid the use of solvents in the preparation of the solder terminals. The terminals are ready
Faston terminal
to receive soldering and require no preparation.
.It is not necessary to remove the solder residues on the terminals.
- Faston terminai (quick-connect):
.Use female connectors according to IEC 61058-1, appropriated to the specified load and
the cable.
.When connecting the female connectors, push it until it touches on some mechanical stop
(housing, dimple detents or hole detents of the male terminal, etc)
.Use appropriate tool to crimp the cable to the female terminal.
Female Terminal
(Not Supplied)
.Always use new, clean and with suitable pressure connectors for a good electrical contact
with the switch terminal.

1.4- Inductive Circuits
To increase the contact life and decreasing the arc, add low-
cost components to the circuit like: resistor, capacitor and
varistor according to the circuit.

1.5- Low Current Circuits
Do not use switches with low operating force, and if possible
add a resistor to the circuit to increase the current controlled
by the switch.
2- Housing Fixing
- Use M3 screws with flat washer
- Fixing torque:
0,2...0,3 Nm
1.8...2.7 lb.in
- An insulating plate must be
inserted between the switch and
the mounting position whenever the
latter is metallic.

- The manual operation of a metallic actuator can only be
done with an intermediate component made of insulating
material.
- The attack element should be designed so that the switch
does not receive any violent shocks.
- Avoid keeping the actuator pre-activated because this will
damage the internal mechanism of switch. The attack
element should be designed to keep free the switch
actuator when it at rest.
- For all models use mechanical stop. Do not use these
products as a mechanical stop.
