Fine-Adjusting the Switch Point Setting
The adjustment screw can be used to adjust the setting by ±1.5°. This can be useful to
compensate for deviations during installation or later (a misplaced stop or machine vibration,
for example). To make the adjustment, insert the supplied screwdriver into the slot of the
arrow (Figure 2c) and turn clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the setting.
For most applications, adjust the angle to its functional minimum position.
Relocating the Switch Point Setting or Repositioning the Hinge
The switch point setting can be changed at a later date (for example, to mount in a
new location). Changing the setting requires replacement of the red plastic washer (see
Accessories for a kit that includes a replacement washer).
The hinge must be removed from the switch component in order to remove the earlier switch
point setting. The hinge may then be reinstalled on the same side of the switch as before, or
it may be installed to the opposite side. (Thus a left-hand hinge may be converted to a right-
hand hinge, and vice versa.)
To perform either task:
1. Remove the screws fastening the hinge to the switch using the supplied tool. (Figure 3a.)
Retain the screws for later reuse.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the hinge housing and the plastic plug, to gently
pry the plastic plugs out. Retain the plastic plugs for later reuse. (Figure 3b.)
3. Remove the hinge portion from the switch. Lift the red plastic washer from the switch.
Discard the plastic washer; it cannot be reused. (Figures 3c and 3d.)
4. Align the switch cylinder arrow with mark “A” on the switch housing. (An SW8-size hex
wrench is recommended, for easy rotation.) (Figure 3e.)
5. Gently press and turn the switch element into the enclosure, until the switch cylinder arrow
aligns with mark “B” on the switch housing. (Figure 3f.)
6. Press the switch element into the enclosure again, until it reaches the internal stop. Install
a new red plastic washer (from the accessories bag included with the switch) onto the
switch cylinder. (Figure 3g.)
7. If changing the hinge position on the switch (changing from a left hinge to a right, for
example), remove the rectangular plug from the switch housing and attach the hinge to
that side. Install the hinge onto the switch and rotate 30° to seat. Fasten the switch to the
hinge using the supplied tool and the screws removed in step 1. (Figure 3h.) (Countersunk
screw max. torque: 2 Nm.)
8. Fix the new switch point setting as required.
