WARNING
IF USED IN APPLICATIONS CONCERNING HUMAN
SAFETY
•
•
•
•
•
•
Only use NC direct opening (“positive
opening”/”positive break”) contacts, identified by the
symbol .
Do NOT use flexible/adjustable actuators. Only use
actuators designed for safety applications.
Do NOT defeat, tamper, remove, or bypass this switch.
Hazardous voltage, disconnect power before servicing.
Strictly adhere to all installation and maintenance
instructions.
Consult with local safety agencies and their
requirements when designing a machine-control link,
interface and all control elements that affect safety.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Sealed construction for Honeywell CX explosionproof switches provides protection from the entry of
water, dust and oil as defined in NEMA 3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P,
13, and IP66/IP67 as defined in IEC 529.
CX Series products with conduit types ¾-14NPT also
meet the North American Hazardous Locations
Designation: Class I, Group C and D; Class II, Groups
E, F and G. CX listings beginning with numbers 14, 16,
24, 26, 36, or 84 (example: 14CX1) also meet Class I,
Group B. These explosion-proof and weather-sealed
switches are protected from flammable hydrocarbon
atmospheres, metal dust, coal dust, and grain dust, and
comply with UL Standard: UL 894 and UL 1203, CSA
Standard: C22.2 no. 25-1966, C22.2 no. 30-M1986.
Select CX Series products also meet the European
Hazardous Locations Designation: Categories II 2 G Ex
d IIC T6 and II 2 D tD A21, KEMA 01ATEX2111X and
complies with the European Directive on Equipment and
Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially
Explosive Atmospheres (94/9/EC) commonly referred to
as the ATEX Directive. Compliance with the Essential
Health and Safety Requirements has been assured by
compliance with EN60079-0: 2006, EN60079-1: 2004,
EN61241-0: 2006 and EN61241-1: 2004. The
European-approved products have a temperature range
of –40 °C to 70 °C [–40 °F to 158 °F], and when used
within the maximum voltage and current specified on
the product will have no heating problems.
Sensing and Control
Notice: For ambient temperatures above 60 °C
[140 °F], cables and cable glands suitable for a
temperature of at least 80 °C [176 °F] shall be used. For
use in potentially explosive atmospheres caused by the
presence of flammable gases, fluids or vapors. The
cable entry devices and the closing elements of unused
apertures shall be of a certified flameproof type, suitable
for the conditions of use and correctly installed. For use
in potentially explosive atmospheres caused by the
presence of combustible dust. The cable entry devices
and the closing elements of unused apertures shall be
of a certified flameproof type, suitable for the conditions
of use and correctly installed. The minimum ingress
protection requirement of IP6X according to EN 60529
must be satisfied. Refer to the Certificate IECEx TSA
06.0003X for conditions of safe use.
Application Note: Enclosures are based, in general,
on the broad definitions outlined in NEMA standards.
Therefore, it will be necessary for the user to determine
that a particular enclosure is adequate when exposed to
the specific conditions that might exist in intended
applications. Except as might otherwise be noted, all
references to products relative to NEMA enclosure
types are based on MICRO SWITCH evaluation only.
IMPORTANT: Switches without shaft re-storing force
do not have overtravel stops. On switches with
potentiometers, use care to insure that overtravel does
not exceed 125° in the application and during set-up.
LEVER POSITIONING
Loosen the screw with a 9/64 inch hexagon key
wrench, move the lever to the desired position and
securely tighten the screw until the "teller tab" can no
longer be moved by hand. Then tighten the screw
another 1/8 to 1/4 turn to assure that the lever is tight on
the shaft. Hexagon key wrenches are provided in
adjusting tool set LSZ4005 for this purpose.
CAM ADJUSTMENT
Pretravel, overtravel, and actuation sequencing can
be adjusted and/or modified in the field. No tools are
required.
To Adjust Plunger Types:
1. Lift cam follower.
CX Series
2. Turn cam wheel to be adjusted to desired
position. Each notch on the wheel represents a
change in operation point of 0,116 mm (.0045
in.). Moving the cam wheel in the direction away
from the base housing advances the operate
point. Pretravel decreases and overtravel
thereby increases. When positioning cams, be
sure the cam follower is allowed to utilize the full
rise of the cam. This is required to provide
adequate overtravel and release travel of the
basic switches.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the set screw in the
cam follower to adjust travel characteristics.
3. Release cam wheel.
4. Release cam follower.
To Adjust Rotary Types:
1. Lift cam follower.
2. Move cam wheel axially to disengage teeth on
wheel from teeth on shaft disc.
3. Turn cam wheel to desired position. Turning in
direction of shaft rotation advances operate
point. Pretravel decreases and overtravel
thereby increases. Each notch on the cam
wheel represents an operating point change of
7°20'. The symbols on the cam wheel simplify
changing rotation from clockwise to
counterclockwise to center neutral, or vise versa.
If the switch operates on clockwise and
counterclockwise rotation, the pointer on the cam
follower lines up with symbol
or symbol on
lines up,
the cam wheel. When symbol
pretravel of 15° max. is obtained. When symbol
lines up, 80° max., pretravel is obtained.
Operation is in the direction of the inclined
surface of the symbol when or lines up with
the pointer on the cam follower.
4. When cam wheel has been rotated to desired
location, release cam wheel to engage with
mating shaft disc.
5. Release cam follower
CX Wiring Methods
Honeywell recommends that conduit be installed
per NEC articles 501-4 and 501-5.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement switch assemblies consist of the
components subject to mechanical or electrical
wear. They include basic switches, cam wheels,
cam followers, and springs. The assemblies are
factory adjusted to have the same operating
characteristics as new complete switches.
How to Order
Catalog listings for complete switches can be
converted to replacement switch assembly catalog
listings as follows:
Momentary action rotary or plunger actuated
switches with shaft or plunger restoring force: To
order a replacement assembly, change the first digit
in the catalog listing for a complete switch to 9 for
rotary switches or to 10 for plunger switches.
For example, the replacement switch assembly
for a 12CX5 rotary switch = 92CX5. The
replacement switch assembly for a 36CX2 plunger
switch = 106CX2.
Maintained action rotary switches without shaft
restoring force: To order a replacement assembly,
change the first digit to a 9 and drop the first digit
following the letters CX.
Example: 12CX12=92CX2

for 4-20 mA current output CX switches: 15PA261CX.

Procedure 1
1. Determine the position of the operating shaft as
it relates to the valve and actuator (where the 4
mA output is required).
2. Remove cover and set the function switch to
enable the output to be increased by
counterclockwise (CCW) or clockwise (CW)
motion of the shaft. Refer to figures 1 and 2.
Procedure 2
Reposition the shaft by using either Step 1 or 2,
below.
Use step 1 if the function switch is set in the CW
position.
1. Rotate operating shaft a quarter turn (90°) CCW
and then a quarter turn CW (back to initial
position).
Next, rotate shaft a half (180°) turn CW and then
a half turn CCW (back to initial position.)
Use Step 2 if the function switch is set in the CCW
position.
2. Rotate operating shaft a quarter turn (90°) CW
and then a quarter turn CCW (back to the initial
position).
Next, rotate shaft a half turn (180°) CCW and
then a half turn CW (back to initial position).

Procedure 3
1. Wiring (See figure 3). Connect a 12.5 to 40 VDC
(nominal) power supply to the positive (+)
terminal. Connect an ammeter to the negative (-)
terminal.
2. Set shaft to position where 4 mA output is
desired.
3. Adjust the null offset trimmer potentiometer (see
figure 2) to generate 4 mA at this position.
(Clockwise turn increases the output.)
4. Rotate shaft to position where 20 mA output is
desired.
5. Adjust the span trimmer potentiometer (see
figure 2) until output is 20 mA. (Clockwise turn
increases output.)
6. Return shaft to initial position and check for 4
mA. Adjust offset null trimmer if necessary.
7. Return shaft to final position and check for 20
mA. Adjust span trimmer if necessary.
NOTE: Honeywell recommends repeating
Procedure 3 after 50,000 operations.
