Use the following procedure: 1. Remove the head by loosening the four screws that secure the head to the switch body. 2. Turn over the head to set the desired operation (CW, CCW, or CW + CCW). The desired operation can be selected by setting the mode selector knob as shown in the figure. This knob is factory set for CW + CCW (two-way) operation. 16 12.5 Stainless rod 12 11 D4B-N D4B-N Precautions If the D4B-N is applied to an emergency stop circuit or safety circuit for prevention of injury, use the D4B-N model that has an NC contact equipped with a force-separation mechanism, and make sure that the D4B-N operates in the positive mode. Also, secure the D4B-N with screws or equivalent parts that are tightened in a single direction so that the D4B-N cannot be easily removed. Then provide a protection cover for the D4B-N and post a warning label near the D4B-N. In order to protect the D4B-N from damage due to shortcircuiting, connect a fuse breaking a current 1.5 to 2 times higher than the rated current in parallel with the D4B-N. MOUNTING Use four M5 screws with washers to mount the standard model. Be sure to apply the proper torque to tighten each screw. The D4B-N can be mounted more securely by using the four screws plus two 5 –0.05/–0.15-mm protruding parts, each of which has a maximum height of 4.8 mm as shown below. Mounting Dimensions (M5) Standard Model 3-conduit Model If an application satisfying EN standards is to employ the D4BL, apply the 10-A gI or gG fuse approved by IEC269. Do not apply the D4B-N to the door without applying a stopper to the door. 60 If the D4B-N is used with the actuator normally pressed, the D4B-N may malfunction or may soon have reset failures. Be sure to check and replace the D4B-N regularly. 59.3±0.1 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT The D4B-N is for indoor use. The D4B-N may malfunction if the D4B-N is used outdoors. Be sure to use a model with a lever-type actuator for outdoor use instead. Do not use the D4B-N in the following places: • • Places with radical temperature changes. Places with excessive humidity that may cause condensation. Places with excessive vibration. Places where metal dust, oil, or chemical may be sprayed to the D4B-N. • • TIGHTENING TORQUE (3) 30 40 42 Protruding portions 27±0.1 –0.05 5–0.15 dia. holes, max. 5 height 30 Changes in Actuator Mounting Position To change the angle of the lever, loosen the hexagon-head bolts on the side of the lever. The operation indicator plate has protruding parts which engage with the lever, thus allowing changes to the lever position by 90°. The back of the operation indicator plate has no protruding parts. The lever can be set at any angle by attaching the operation indicator plate to the Switch so that this side will face the lever. In this case, however, the D4B-N will not be approved by SUVA or BIA. Make sure that the lever engages with the operation indicator plate securely so that the lever will not slip. Changes in Head Mounting Position By removing the screws on the four corners of the head, the head can be reset in any of four directions. Make sure that no foreign materials will penetrate through the head. Since loose screws may (4) cause a malfunction, tighten each screw to the appropriate torque. WIRING (1) Do not connect the bare lead wires directly to the terminals, but you must connect each of them by using an insulation tube and M3.5 round solderless terminals and tighten each terminal screw within the specified torque range.

Note: Apply a tightening torque of 0.78 to 0.88 N m {8 to 9 kgf cm} to conduit models. 17 D4B-N D4B-N Make sure that all solderless terminals come into contact with the casing or cover as shown below, or the cover may not be mounted properly or the D4B-N may malfunction. Correct Incorrect Avoid Damage The load for the actuator (roller) of the Switch must be imposed on the actuator in the horizontal direction, or the actuator or the rotating axis may be deformed or damaged. Terminal screw Correct Incorrect Top View Dog Dog Crimp-style terminal Incorrect Correct Terminal screw Terminal screw Crimp-style terminal Cover Cover Case Case Crimp-style terminal Crimp-style terminal When Using a Long-Lever Model When using a long-lever model like the D4B-16N or D4B-17N, the Switch may telegraph. To avoid telegraphing, take the following precautions. 1. Set the lever to operate in one direction. For details, see page NO TAG, CW, CCW or Two-way Operation. 2. Modify the rear end of the dog to an angle of 15° to 30° as shown below or to a secondary-degree curve. θ θ θ 30° 15° θ 30° 3. Modify the circuit so as not to detect the wrong operating signals. Crimp-style terminal CORRECT SELECTION AND USAGE OF SWITCHES Snap-action Switch A snap-action switch takes only a short time to switch electric current, which reduces contact arcing and prevents contacts from wear and tear. For this reason, a snap-action switch is more ideal than a slow-action switch for applications that require high repeat accuracy, high operation frequency, and slow operating speed. Slow-action Switch Connector Tighten the connector within the specified torque range. The casing may be damaged if the connector is tightened excessively. If the 1/2-14NPT is used, cover the cable and conduit end with sealing tape in order to ensure IP67. The Pg13.5 connector must be Nippon Flex’s ABS-08Pg13.5 or ABS-12 Pg13.5. Use OMRON’s SC-series connector which is suited to the cable in diameter. When wiring the D4B-N, correctly attach the conduit cap (provided) to the unused conduit opening and securely tighten the cap screw within the specified torque. 18 The electric current switching time of a slow-action switch differs in proportion to the operating speed of the switch. A slow-action switch operates safely via direct drive positive contact opening, even after metal deposition between mating contacts and provides insulation capability after contact separation. Opposite polarity ensures high contact reliability, even when voltages and currents are small and allows switching of voltages of different potential by contacts blocks with several contacts. For example, it is possible to perform a control function with 220 VAC and signalling function with 60 VDC using only one device. Safety Switch The NC contact section of the D4B-N’s built-in switch incorporates a shearing force contact separating mechanism. Based on the above mentioned switching features, the snap-action switch can be mainly applied to positioning control purposes and the slow-action switch can be mainly applied to safety, and protection purposes. Both slow- and snap-action switches conform to BS5304, IEC 204-1, and VDE 0113 safety standard. D4B-N D4B-N NOTE: DIMENSIONS SHOWN ARE IN MILLIMETERS. To convert millimeters to inches divide by 25.4.
