Precautions for Safe Use • Do not disassemble or modify the Switch under any circumstances. Doing so may cause malfunction. • Do not drop or subject the Switch to extreme shock or force. This may prevent the Switch from functioning to its full capability. • The durability of the Switch varies considerably depending on the switching conditions. Always test the switch under actual working conditions before application and use the Switch only for the number of switching operations allowed. • Do not allow the load current to exceed the rated value. This may damage or burn out the Switch. • Refer to the Circuit Diagram and make sure to wire correctly. Only the terminal (1) is printed and the right end of the terminal is read as (10). The switch back Terminal (1) • Do not use the Switch in locations where explosive or flammable gases or liquid may be present or scattered. The electric ark or the heat caused by switching contacts may trigger off a fire or explosion. • Do not use the Switch in locations where toxic gases, such as H2S, SO2, NH3, HNO3, and Cl2, may be present, or in locations subject to high temperature or humidity. Doing so may damage the Switch due to contact failure or corrosion. • Do not let the Switch submerged in oil or water, or use in locations continuously subject to splashes of oil/water. Doing so may result in oil or water entering the Switch. • Do not use the Switch in the following locations; - subject to severe temperature changes. - subject to high humidity or condensation. - subject to severe vibration or shock. - where direct rays of the sun strike. - where sea breeze may be present. • When the Switch is exposed to the environment that are not required, or stored in locations where condensation presents, or damaged by fall out, or stored for more than an year, please test it under the usage conditions before application. • Mounting and Removing the Switch 1. Insert the Operation Unit from the front of the panel, insert the Lock Ring and Mounting Nut from the back of the panel, and tighten the Mounting Nut. Then, attach the Switch Unit to the 4 Operation Unit. 2. For a Switch with IP65 protection, make sure that the rubber washer is in place between the Operation Unit and the panel. 3. Align the Lock Ring with the slot on the case and insert it so that the edge is flush with the panel. 4. Tighten the Mounting Nut to between 0.98 and 1.96 . 5. To mount the Switch Unit to the Operation Unit, align the the triangle marks on the Operation Unit and Switch Unit and insert the Switch Unit until it locks securely in place. 6. The push marks on both sides are only for removal. Do not push them when you insert the Switch Unit into the Pushbutton Unit. Otherwise, the Pushbutton Unit will be hooked incorrectly. 7. To remove the Switch, press the levers on both sides in the direction indicated by PUSH marks. Applying too much force may damage the Switch. 8. Remove the Switch Unit before you remove the Pushbutton Unit. If you loosen the mounting nut while the Switch Unit is still attached, you will damage the Pushbutton Unit. Rubber washer Lock Ring Triangle Mark Lever Tab Operation Unit Mounting Nut Panel Switch Unit A3U • Wiring 1. Do not wire the Switch while power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock. 2. Make sure to insert the connector to the end. This may prevent the Switch from functioning to its full capability. 3. Do not subject the Switch to an excessive force when wiring. Fix the cables first to avoid the connector and cables from being pulled with. Otherwise, the connector may be disassembled or damaged, resulting in the contact damages. Too much tension to the cables. 2) Attach the cap, aligning the slots on the slot on the cap with the tab on the operation plunger. Operation Plunger Protruding Portions Appropriate force to the cables. 4. Refer to specification of each connector or catalogue for details of installing or wiring the terminal side of the connector. • Character Films 1) In addition to engraving characters on legend plungers, you can insert a character film to display characters.

Tabs for character film positioning Character film 2) After you remove the cap, you can remove the legend plunger and engrave it. You cannot remove the legend plungers from Switches with IP65 protection. Attachment 1) The legend plunger fits in only one direction. Align the tabs on the legend plunger with the slots on the operation plunger and press the cap onto the operation plunger. Operation Plunger Legend Plunger Cap Insert the legend plunger so that the groove widths are lined up. 5 A3U • Operating Environment 1. This Switch is intended for indoor use only. Do not use the Switch outdoors. 2. Do not set the Switch in locations where powders, mud, or any other substances may be piled, or subject to any splashes of oil or water. Always test the switch under actual working conditions before application. 3. The Switches with oil-resistant IP65 protection use NBR rubber and are resistant to general cutting oils and cooling oils. Some special oils, however, cannot be used with these Switches. Contact your OMRON representative for details. • Mounting panels 1. Set mounting panel thickness to be 0.8 to 3.2 mm. 2.
