GENERAL INFORMATION
•
Honeywell’s Enclosed Basic Series of Limit Switches are
usable in many applications. The wide variety of actuators
offered and their robust diecast housing make them ideal for
applications that require reliable switching and performance.
There are several styles of enclosed basic switches, including side and flange mounting switches as well high capacity
and double pole type.
•
Refer to switch labeling for applicable electrical ratings and
certifications

2. Boot-sealed and side-mounting switches use sealing washers under screw heads on the sides between switch and
mounting surface on other side to maintain seal.
3. Unsealed, side mounting switches: Use lockwashers under
screw heads on one side; under nut on other side.
4. Connect conduit to conduit opening. Apply conduit sealing if
required by application.
INSTALLATION TIPS
1. Do not lubricate any internal part of the switch. The internal switch does not require any additional lubrication
2. When installing the switch, ensure that it is not the low
point in the conduit run. Doing so will ensure that condensation created in the conduit will not flow into the switch
housing.
3. Do not enlarge the mounting holes on side mounting
switch. Doing so will compromise the internal switching element’s seal integrity.

FIELD ADJUSTABLE ACTUATOR MODELS
Some enclosed basic switches are field adjustable. This includes models with the nomenclature “2RN2”, ”2RQ2”, ”2RN28”,
”2RQ28”, “2RN62”, “2RQ62”, “RQ2X2”, “RN2X1”.

If actuator or basic switch is replaced, the actuator may need
adjustment to duplicate original switch operating point. To adjust
operating point, remove lower seal band from base of seal boot.
“Peel back” seal boot to expose bushing. With basic switch
unoperated, slowly turn bushing clockwise until basic switch operates. Do not turn further after operating click is heard. Turn
bushing back 1/2 turn. Tighten jam nut on bushing.
MAINTAINED CONTACT (RESET) MODELS
Listings with an “X” in their part number are maintained contact
switches. These switches remain actuated after the operating
force on either plunger has been applied. The actuated plunger
will “reset” when the opposing plunger is actuated.
NOTE: The top plungers (the plungers on the stationary portion
of the housing) provide more accurate and uniform operation
than the “reset” plungers and should be used when closely held
operating characteristics are required.
ADJUSTABLE RANGE
360~ABOUT THE PLUNGER AXIS
The lever can be adjusted in two ways. The following process
details how to perform the adjustments.
Adjusting the horizontal position of the lever.
1. Loosen the lever base retaining nut, so that the lever assembly is free to rotate about the axis of the plunger.
2. Rotate the lever to the desired position. The lever is adjustable 360 degrees about the axis.
3. Once the desired position is reached re-tighten the lever
base retaining nut. The lever base should not be able to
rotate when properly tightend.
Adjusting the vertical position of the lever.
1. Loosen the lever retaining nut, so that the lever freely rotates.
2. Set the position of the lever to the desired position. Roller
levers should be positioned so that they are able to actuate
the plunger.
3. Once the desired position is reached re-tighten the lever retaining nut. When pushed the lever should act upon the lever
mechanism to actuate the switch.

LUBRICATING INSTRUCTIONS for Roller Plunger
Switches only (N80, N81, Q8, Q9, Q81)
For maximum life, periodically put a drop or two of lightweight
oil on the roller. Specific application conditions will determine
lubricating frequency.

WIRING
•
Honeywell’s Enclosed Basic Switches have internal terminals
that allow for easy wiring and integration.
•
If a side mounting switch is being wired it is possible for the
switch to be mounted in place before wiring takes place. If
a flange mounting switch is being used it is likely that that
the switching and actuator assembly will need to be wired
before mounting switch.
The enclosed basic series switch will have one of two contact
forms available. They will either have a single pole double throw
(SPDT) or a double pole double throw (DPDT) arrangement. The
SPDT uses three terminals to wire a set of Common (C), Normally
Open (NO), and Normally Close (NC) contacts.

•
Once the cover of the flange base is removed the switch
terminals will be exposed. Switch terminals will be labeled
according to the contact they connect to. Please refer the
terminal layout section for more information on circuit diagrams and terminal screw layout.
•
Connect wire to terminals by loosening terminal screws,
looping wire around the terminal screw shaft, and inside
of the cup washer on SPDT models or looping wire around
the terminal screw shaft and underneath locking washer on
DPDT models. Then retighten terminal screws ensuring wires
and connections are made.
•
Grounding Terminal, enclosed basic switches have an internal grounding screw mounted inside the removable cover or
flange base.
•
Replace cover or flange base and retighten cover screws
Remove the cover or the flange base by loosening the two
screws that secure it.
