Four-Circuit Direct Opening Action Limit Switch
Catalog Numbers 802T
Overview
Bulletin 802T Direct Opening Action limit switches have been
designed for use in applications requiring control reliability
performance per ANSI B11.19 and in safety applications
Limit switches are used in electrical control systems to sense position.
They are actuated by the predetermined motion of a cam, machine
component or piece part. These limit switches are suitable for use in
control systems requiring control reliability performance or safety
related performance per ISO 13849–1.
Typical Example of a Dual Channel Safety Application
Before installation in a safety application, a risk assessment should be
performed to determine whether the specifications of this device are
suitable for foreseeable operational and environmental characteristics
of the machine which is to be controlled. Only the normally closed set
of contacts are considered safety contacts. When applying these limit
switches in a safety system application, all applicable standards for
application should be followed. Operating specifications must be
followed and actuator must be displaced beyond the point where
Direct Opening Action occurs. These devices are not to be used to
directly control a motor.
General Data
• Safety Contacts: 2 Normally Closed
• Auxiliary Contacts: 2 Normally Open
• Enclosure Rating:
• NEMA 4, 6P, 12, and 13
• IP67
• Operating rate and speed
1
• Lever Type: 150/minute @ 9 m (30 ft)/minute
2
• Top Push Roller: 150/minute @ 9 m (30 ft)/minute
3
• Side Push Roller: 150/minute @ 9 m (30 ft)/minute
3
• Operating temperature (standard models) 18…110°C
(0…230°F)
• Short Circuit Protection: 10 amp slow or 15 amp fast
acting.
Overload protection should be sized to load requirements.
Mounting
Limit switches should be securely mounted using the mounting holes
provided. During installation, ensure that the actuator will be displaced
beyond the point where Direct Opening Action takes place. Adjustable
levers or rod actuators should not be used in safety systems
applications.
1
Based on operation temperatures of 20…30°C (68…86°F).
2
Using 802T-W1A operating lever.
3
Using 30° non-overtravel dog.
Wiring
The pressure type connector terminals in the base will accept No.
12 A
WG and smaller solid or stranded wire. For proper tightening, it is
suggested that nothing smaller than No. 18 AWG be used. Before
inserting wire under the pressure plates, strip the insulation
approximately 3/8 inch. Tighten all pressure plate terminals whether
used or not, to avoid interference with the switch cover.
ATTENTION:
To avoid electrical shock and
unintended operation of equipment, disconnect
all power to the limit switch and the controlled
equipment before proceeding with any repair or
adjustment of the limit switch.
ATTENTION:
Adjustable length lever actuators should not be used
in a safety systems application.
