WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION

Consult with local safety agencies and their requirements when designing a machine-control link, interface, and all control elements that affect safety.
Strictly adhere to all installation instructions.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

MOUNT, WIRE, AND SEAL THE SWITCH

Ensure switch actuator achieves sufficient travel for positive opening of normally closed (NC) contacts to occur.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

Refer to:
- Page 5 for adjustments
- Pages 8 to 12 for specific travel distances for each switch code and specifications
- Page 5 for proper application of limit switches
- Page 13 to 18 for switch mounting dimensions
Perform adjustments (if desired):
- Head orientation (Figure 1, page 5)
- Actuation direction (Figure 2, page 5)
- Side rotary switches with 36 drive lever positions (Figure 3, page 5):
Mount switch at top corners of switch using two M4 or #8 screws. For GLD products torque screws to 2,7 Nm to 3,4 Nm [24 in-lb to 30 in-lb]. For GLC & GLE products torque screws to 3,1 Nm to 3,7 Nm [27 in-lb to 33 in-lb].
Remove screws on cover plate.
Connect stranded wire (0,75 mm2 to 2,3 mm2, 18-14 AWG) or solid wire (0,75 mm2 to 1,5 mm2, 18-16 AWG) to contact block terminals (use 90 °C wire when ambient temperature is over 75 °C). Torque switch terminal screws to 0,8 Nm to 1,0 Nm [7 in-lb to 9 in-lb].
Seal conduit opening according to instructions in PK 80112.
Reassemble cover plate, and torque cover screws to 0,5 Nm [4.4 in-lb].
