TAM-252 Proximity Switch
The switch and actuator must be mounted as shown below to ensure that the switch is closed. The
gap between the switch and actuator must be less than 6mm. The switch will open when the gap is
greater than 13mm. Care must be taken during installation to ensure that the switch and actuator are
installed in such a way that a separation of 6mm or less is maintained in order to prevent false
activation of the switch.
Optional mounting plates have been supplied for the switch and actuator. These can be used to
increase the separation between the switch/actuator and the surface they are mounted on. This is
useful when they are mounted on ferrous metals since the metal can affect the activation distance
between the switch and actuator.
Ensure that the proximity switch is mounted so that the cable is long enough to reach the TAM-242
unit.
