How to use

The device should be mounted securely to a stable surface using the provided mounting points. Ensure that the actuator is positioned so that the moving part of the machine makes firm contact with the switch at the desired limit point. Connect the wiring to the internal terminals according to the required circuit configuration, ensuring that all connections are tightened properly to prevent loose contacts. After installation, perform a manual test to verify that the switch triggers correctly at the intended position before putting the machinery into full operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1.5 m/s actuation speed meets your machine's requirements
• Ensure the plastic housing is appropriate for your specific environmental conditions
• Check that the 1NC+1NO contact configuration aligns with your control system logic
• Confirm that the physical dimensions fit your installation space

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the actuator and housing for signs of wear or debris accumulation to ensure consistent performance. Periodically test the electrical continuity of the contacts to confirm that the switch remains responsive and reliable over its service life.
