Contact Arrangements: Comprehensive charts detail contact arrangements for different switch types, specifying contact codes, operator positions, and configurations.
Operator Types: Available with lever, key, and illuminated options, featuring specific design elements like a white indicator on a black lever.
Illuminated Selector Switches: Options for LED illumination with various color codes and operating voltage specifications are provided.
Mounting and Terminal Specifications: Use M3.5 terminal screws, available in configurations with 2 or 4 contact blocks, with specified mounting positions.
Additional Notes: References to additional contact arrangement charts and notes on dummy blocks in certain configurations are included.
Specifications and Procedures:
  • Barrier Installation: Barriers attach to contact blocks with dimensions of 34mm x 34mm.
  • Tightening Torque: Terminal screws should be tightened to 1.0 to 1.3 N·m.
Panel Thickness and Rubber Washer Adjustment:
  • Adjust rubber washer thickness according to panel thickness, including nameplate thickness if applicable.
Wiring and LED Usage:
  • Polarity: Ensure correct polarity when connecting to a DC-DC converter unit.
  • Transformer Units: Recommended for areas with noise interference.
  • LED Lamps: Rated at 6V, 12V, or 24V AC/DC, usable within ±10% of the rated voltage.
