Use and maintenance instructions

Base rotary limit switch is an electromechanical device for low voltage control circuits (EN 60947-1, EN 60947-5-1) to be used as electrical
equipment on machines (EN 60204-1) in compliance with the fundamental requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/CE and of the
Machine Directive 2006/42/CE.
The limit switch is designed for use in industrialal environments under even severe climatic conditions (operational temperature from –40°C to
+80°C, suitable for use in tropical environment). The equipment is not suitable for use in environments with potentially explosive atmosphere,
corrosive agents or a high percentage of sodium chloride (saline fog). Oils, acids or solvents may damage the equipment. Do not connect more
than one phase to each switch. Do not oil or grease the control elements or the switches.
The installation of the limit switch shall be carried out by expert and trained personnel. Wiring shall be properly done according to the current
instructions.
Prior to the installation and the maintenance of the limit switch, the main power of the machinery shall be turned off.
Steps for the proper installation of the limit switch
- Loosen the fixing screw (4) and remove the cover (3)
- Connect the limit switch shaft (2) to the reduction gear shaft avoiding any misalignment between the two shafts
- Fix the limit switch firmly in place to prevent abnormal vibrations of the equipment during operation; use only the fixing holes on the base (1) to
fix the equipment
- Insert the cable into the limit switch through the cable clamp (5)
- Strip the cable to a length suitable for wiring the switches
- Tape the stripped part of the cable
- Clamp the wire into the cable clamp (5)
- Connect the switches according to the contact scheme printed on the switches or to the wiring scheme on the back of the instructions (use 6.3
mm Faston taps)
- Adjust the operating point of the cams; for proper adjustment, loosen the central screw (7) of the cam set, adjust the operating point of each
single cam by turning its screw (8) (the numbers on the screws refer to the cams counting from bottom to top), then tighten the central screw (7)
- Insert the free end of the no-drop wire (9) into one of the screws (4), then close the limit switch using the screws (4); check the proper positioning
of the rubber (6) in the cover (3) and tighten the screws (4) with a torque of 80/100 cNm
Periodic maintenance steps
- Check the proper tightening of the screws (4) and cover (3)
- Check the proper tightening of the central screw (7) holding the cams
- Check the wiring conditions (in particular where wires clamp into the switch)
- Check the conditions of the rubber (6) fit between the cover (3) and the base (1) and check the tightening of the cable clamp (5) around the cable
- Check that the limit switch enclosure (1, 3) is not broken
- Check the alignment between the limit switch shaft (2) and the reduction gear shaft
- Check that the limit switch is properly fixed
- If there is an anti-moisture plug, check its conditions

In case any component of the limit switch is modified, the validity of the markings and the guarantee on the equipment are annulled. Should any
component need replacement, use original spare parts only.

TER declines all responsibility for damages caused by the improper use or installation of the equipment.
