■Precautions in Switch Handling
1. Pay attention to the lead wire color when connecting them. Wrong connection may result in malfunction
or breakage.
2. Do not connect 2 wire system solid state sensor switches to TTL and C-MOS.
3. Use of a protection diode for surge is recommended for inductive load such as an electromagnetic relay.
4. Do not connect the sensor switches in series (no AND connection) because the circuit voltage isdropped in direct proportion to the number of sensor switches.
5. When the sensor switches are connected in parallel (OR connection), sensor outputs (ex. black wires) canbe directly connected. In this case, however, be careful not to cause a load restoration failure because

Position Detection Switch

leak current increases in direct proportion to the number of sensors.
6. The sensor switches are magnetic induction type switches. Therefore, do not use them in places with astrong external magnetic ﬁeld and do not get them closer to the great current such as a power line. Do
not use a magnetic body for the mounting member. Doing so may result in malfunction.
7. Do not put a force to the lead wires such as by pulling the lead wire or bending it extremely.
8. Do not use the switches in an environment that is exposed to chemicals or gases.
9. The switch tightening torque shall be 0.1 N・m or less when the switch is ﬁxed.
