The Color Cap is usually supplied. Replace the Cap if the color is to be
changed.
When using an LED indicator, be sure
to use a Color Cap that matches the luminescent color of the LED.
The materials used for the IP40 and
oil-resistant IP65 are different so be
sure to use a Color Cap that matches
the specifications of the Switch.

Installation
■ Panel Mounting
Mounting the Switch Unit
After mounting the Pushbutton Unit (i.e., the Pushbutton and the
Case) to the panel, snap in the Switch Unit (i.e., the Switch and the
Lamp) from the back of the panel.
Snap on the Switch Unit to the Pushbutton Unit.
Mounting to the Panel
Insert the Pushbutton Unit into the front of the panel, and fix the lock
ring and mounting nut from the terminal side.
Make sure that the Switch Unit has the correct orientation when
snapping it onto the Case. Align the • mark on the Case with the
groove between the case guards on the NC terminal side of the
Switch Unit in the way shown below, and push the Switch Unit into
the Case until it clicks into place. Confirm that the Switch Unit is
securely in place before using.
Make sure that the lock ring is aligned with the thread of the Case
and the edge of the lock ring is touching the panel.
Tighten the mounting nuts to a torque of 0.29 to 0.49 N⋅m.

The maximum tightening torque is 0.49 N⋅m.

Mounting the Switch Unit for Voltage Reduction Types
1. The mounting panel thickness must be 0.5 to 3.2 mm.
2. The mounting ring must be tightened to a torque 0.29 to 0.49 N⋅m.
3. The mounting hole must be cut out in the way described previously. The dimension A is the length required for removing the Switch when it is
in the mounted state. If Switches are mounted side-by-side separated by less than the specified distance, it may not be possible to remove the
Switch.
4. Be sure to mount the Case to the Switch with the correct orientation. Mount with the • mark on the Case facing in the same direction as the
side of the Switch with the direction arrow or the word TOP.

Installing the Lamp
The Switch Unit can be mounted or dismounted by simply opening or
closing the lever.
■ Mounting and Replacing the
Pushbutton
Protruding part
The Lamp can be mounted from the Pushbutton end by using the
A16Z-5080 Extractor. The lamp can be mounted by following the
opposite procedure for removing the Lamp.
Removing and Mounting the
Pushbutton
1. Remove the Pushbutton as shown in the following diagram. If the
Pushbutton cannot be removed by hand, use the A3PJ-5080
Extractor.

4. Attach the Switch Unit to the Case.
Note: Recommended panel thickness: 0.5 to 2 mm.
Precautions
Do not apply a voltage between the incandescent lamp and the
terminal that is greater than the rated voltage. If the incandescent
lamp is broken, the operating part may pop out.
Always turn OFF the power and wait for 10 minutes before replacing the incandescent lamp. If the lamp is replaced immediately after the power is turned OFF, the remaining heat may cause burns.
■ Correct Use
Mounting
Always make sure that the power is turned OFF before mounting,
removing, or wiring the Switch, or performing maintenance.
Do not tighten the mounting nut more than necessary using tools
such as pointed-nose pliers. Doing so will damage the mounting nut.
The tightening torque is 0.29 to 0.49 N⋅m.
Wiring
The IP65 model is designed with a degree of protection so that it will
not sustain damage if it is subjected to water from any direction to the
front of the panel.
Using the Microload
Insert a contact protection circuit, if necessary, to prevent the reduction of life expectancy due to extreme wear on the contacts caused
by loads where inrush current occurs when the contact is opened
and closed.
The A16 allows both a standard load (125 V at 5A, 250 V at 3 A) and
a microload. If a standard load is applied, however, the microload
area cannot be used. If the microload area is used with a standard
load, the contact surface will become rough, and the opening and
closing of the contact for a microload may become unreliable.
The minimum applicable load is the N-level reference value. This
value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability level
of 60% (λ 60) (conforming to JIS C5003).
The equation, λ 60 = 0.5 x 10–4/operations indicates that the estimated malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 operations with a
reliability level of 60%.
Solder Terminal
Solder terminals and quick-connect terminals (#110) are commonly
used for terminals.
Be sure to use electrical wires that are a size appropriate for the
applied voltage and carry current (conductor size is 0.5 to 0.75 mm2).
Perform soldering according to the conditions provided below. If the
soldering is not properly performed, the lead wires will become
detached, resulting in short-circuits.

Wait for one minute after soldering before exerting any external force
on the solder.
Use non-corrosive resin fluid as the flux.
Make sure that the electric cord is wired so that it does not touch the
Unit. If the electric cord touches the Unit, then electric wires with a
heat resistance of 100°C min. must be used.
After wiring the Switch, maintain an appropriate clearance and
creepage distance.

1. Strip a length of 10 mm off the end of the wire (allowable range:
10±1 mm).
2. Bunch wire strands together and straighten them.
3. Insert the wire into the insertion hole while pressing the release
button at the side of the hole. (Using a precision screwdriver is
recommended.)
4. Let go of the release button to lock the wire into place.
5. After locking, pull on the wire gently to confirm that it is securely
locked.

Others
The oil-resistant IP65 uses NBR rubber and is resistant to general
cutting oil and cooling oil. Some particular oils cannot be used with
the oil-resistant IP65, however, so contact your OMRON representative for details.
Removing Procedure
Remove wires by pulling them while pressing the release button.
Note: When reusing wires that have already been locked, cut off the
end of the wire and strip the wire again before using.

If the panel is to be finished with coating, etc., make sure that the
panel meets the specified dimensions after the coating.
Do not subject the Switch to extreme shock or vibration. Doing so will
cause malfunctions and damage to the Switch.
Do not let sharp objects come into contact with the Switches that are
made of resin. Doing so will damage the Switches, causing
scratches on the outside of the operating parts, and malfunction.
When handling the Switches, do not throw or drop them.
Do not allow the Switch
to drop and hit the
ground.
Do not place or drop
heavy objects on the
Switch.
Do not operate the Switch
with hard or sharp objects.
