CAUTIONS FOR USE

■Dustproof, waterproof, anticorrosive gas, and oil-proof

designs

The panel-sealed type/terminal-sealed type/wire lead type

switch has a protection level of IP67 or IP64 on the outer side of

the mounting panel and a level of IP40, IP60, or IP67 on the

inner side of the panel. For actual application, note the following

points:

1) Avoid immersion in water or oil during installation.

2) Avoid immersion in water or oil during operation.

3) Oils or gases impose varying degrees of impact on the

switch’s sealing performance depending on type or quantity.

4) While the switch has a immersion and dust-protected design,

its sealing performance or operabillity may be adversely affected

in an environment where in the switch's movable parts can be

contaminated with dust, oil, or other foreign objects. For the

toggle type, use of a rubber cap is recommended.

5) The standard toggle switch, when used with a rubber cap,

provides a protection level of IP54.

It should be used in an environment where it will not be subject

to frequent water splashes.

6) As the sealing performance of the rocker type switch is

affected by the panel processing accuracy or mounted panel

thickness, check the switch under actual loading conditions.

(While water or dust will not enter the switch’s internal structure,

it may enter the panel.)

7) Do not operate the rocker type switch when water

accumulates in the actuator.

■Installation

1) For the toggle and push-button type

a. When installing the standard type switch, be sure to use a hex

nut.

b. For the panel-sealed, terminal-sealed and wire lead types,

use a lock washer on the front side of the panel, and an O-ring

on the back side of it.

c. Do not install the switch by rotating it.

2) For the rocker type

a. In case the panel-sealed, terminal-sealed or wire leads types

are used in the condition where the water splash on, please in

the case of vertical installation, please install the switches tilt

more than 25° or in the case of horizontal installation, please

install the switches tilt more than 50°. (90° recommended)

(Vertical installation)

(Horizontal installation)

Min. 25°

Mounting panel

b. In case water inside the switch case may freeze, please install

the switch vertically to avoid the water remain inside the switch.

3) Rubber cap installation

a. The washer should be used on the back side of the panel.

3.0 to 3.5 mm

Washer

Mounting hole

Hexagonal nut

b. Enough screw pitch should be obtained being adjusted within

3 to 3.5mm.

c. After first installing the rubber cap, please tighten to 1.96 Nm

or less with a hexagonal nut.

d. The mounting hole in the panel should preferably be provided

with an anti-rotation projection.

e. If the rubber cap is installed over the hex nut, the waterproof

performance will be impaired although the dustproof

performance will not be affected.

■Soldering

Perform soldering in less than 3 seconds with maximum 350°C

iron. Care should be taken not to apply force to the terminals

during soldering. We recommend a soldering iron with

temperature adjustment in order to prevent poor quality

soldering.

Please consult us if you intend to use a soldering iron of 60 W or

higher.

■Load type and ratings

1) When the switch is loaded with a lamp, motor or capacitive

load, a surge current higher than the stationary current passes

through the switch contacts.

Measure the surge with the actual load and, if needed, take

necessory action so that the surge will not exceed the switch’s

rated current.

2) When the switch is loaded with an inductive load (relay,

solenoid, buzzer, etc.), a contact failure may result from arc

discharge caused by a counterelectromotive force. It is advisable

that you use an adequate anti-spark circuit across the switch

contacts.

■Others

1) Do not apply an excessive static load exceeding 112.7N

perpendicular to the direction of operation.

2) Operate the switch actuator by hand.

3) Take care not to drop the product as it may impair

performance.

4) These switches are only for Industrial use.

Do not use any other applications. (ex. home use)
