When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres or environments requiring specific hazardous area certifications unless explicitly rated for such conditions. It is also not suitable for applications involving extreme chemical corrosion that may degrade the Zamak housing over time.

Key specifications

• Housing material: Zamak
• Contact configuration: 1NC + 1NO
• Switching action: Snap action
• Ingress protection: IP66
• Connection type: Wired (Pg13 cable entry)
• Actuator: Adjustable plastic roller lever
• Dimensions: 40 mm width, 44 mm depth, 77 mm height

How to use

The switch should be mounted securely to a stable surface using the provided mounting points. Ensure the actuator lever is positioned so that the moving part of the machinery makes firm contact with the roller during the intended operation. Connect the wiring according to the internal contact diagram, ensuring the cable entry is properly sealed to maintain the IP66 rating. Regularly check that the lever movement is not obstructed and that the mechanical travel remains within the specified limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the mechanical travel requirements of your machinery
• Ensure the cable entry size matches your existing conduit system
• Check that the operating environment does not exceed the IP66 protection limits
• Confirm the contact configuration meets your safety circuit requirements

Usage recommendations: Periodically inspect the roller lever for signs of wear and ensure the mounting bolts remain tight to prevent misalignment during continuous operation.
