Operation
• The operating method, shape of cam or dog, operating frequency,
and overtravel have a significant effect on the durability and
precision of the Switch. Make sure that the shape of the cam is
smooth enough.
• Check that OT has a sufficient margin.
Set the overtravel to between 70% and 100% of the specified
overtravel.
• Do not change the operating position by remodeling the actuator.
Wiring
• When routing wires into the conduit opening, be sure that cuttings
and other foreign matter do not enter the Switch.
• Sealing materials may deteriorate when used outdoors or when
exposed to cutting oil, solvents, or chemicals. Check this on actual
equipment and, if deterioration is foreseen, consult your OMRON
representative in advance.
• Refer to the following table for the cable connection method.
