ø16 Switches & Pilot Lights

Suitable for a wide variety ofoffice and factory aplications.

A6 Series

Features IDEC’s original mechanism for snap-action switching.

The LED lamp contains a current-limiting
resistor and a diode for protection
against reverse connection.
Degree of protection: IP40 and IP65
(IEC 60529)

Light duty in short 22 mm body length.
Flush bezel accessories can be used
to change A6 series to Flush Silhouetteswitches.

• See website for details on approvals and standards.

How to change the operator position

Operator position can be changed by IDEC’s original bezel rotating
and locking system. The bezel can be locked at every 45° and bezel
rotation is prevented while mounting on a panel.

Safety Precautions• Turn off the power to A series control units before starting installation,
removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the control units.
Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
• To avoid a burn on your hand, use the lamp holder tool whenreplacing lamps.

• For wiring, use wires of a proper size to meet the voltage andcurrent requirements. Failure to tighten terminal screws may cause
overheating and create a fire hazard.

Operating Instructions All dimensions in mm.

Replacing the LED Lamp

RemovalRemove the lens assembly (color lens, marking plate, lens holder, andspring) by holding the color lens recesses with the Lens Removal Tool
(MT-101) and pulling it out. Remove the marking plate by disengaging
the latches between the color lens and lens holder.
The marking plate must be engraved on the front side as shown atright.
When using a color film, insert it between the color lens and marking
plate.

RemovalUse the lamp holder tool (OR-77) to remove lamps. Do not use pliers.
Installation
Use the lamp holder tool (OR-77) to install lamps. Note the correct sideof the tool for removal or installation.

Solder the terminal at 350°C within 3 seconds using a 60W solderingiron. Sn-Ag-Cu is recommended when using lead-free solder. Whensoldering, do not touch the control unit with the soldering iron. Also
ensure that no tensile force is applied to the terminal. Do not bend theterminal or apply excessive force to the terminal. Use a non-corrosive
rosin flux.

Opening/closing the Switch Guard

Selector Switches with Key(LB9Z-K2, LB9Z-K3P)

Observe the following instructions to prevent malfunction or damage.
• Insert the key to the bottom of the key hole.
• Do not remove the key from any key retained position.
• Besides the standard key (key number 0H), six other key numbers areavailable. Use a key of the matching number with the key cylinder.
The standard key does not have a key number indication.

When opening/closing the switch guard while the switch guard is notinstalled on a panel, make sure to hold the hinge. Holding the basemight result in damage. Also do not apply force on the guard in otherthan open/close directions, otherwise the hinge may be damaged.

Other Notes
Close Proximity Mounting
When mounting pilot lights or illuminated pushbuttons collectively or
lighting them continuously, heat may cause the ambient temperature
to rise above the rated operating temperature. When the mounting
panel is not made of metal or when the control units are mounted in an
enclosed panel, provide for ventilation or lower the operating voltage.
Replacement of Buttons (Illuminated/Non-illuminated)
Do not replace buttons of maintained action units while the button isin the locked position. Replacing the button in the locked position may
damage the internal mechanism. Be sure to release the button before
replacing.
Operating and Storage Environment
1. Make sure that the operating/storage temperature and humidity arewithin the ratings.
2. Do not use enclosed type units in an environment subject to oil,water or dust accumulation. In such an area, use the waterproof/
oiltight units (IP65).
Microswitch Contacts
Do not connect NO and NC contacts of a microswitch to different
voltages or different power sources to prevent a dead short-circuit.
IP65 Units
IP65 units are evaluated by conventional cutting and cooling oils, andcan not be used with some special oils. Contact IDEC for resistanceagainst specific oils.
