Selection & installation notes
- The shared prose gives a much smaller 39.84 × 22.5 × 17.4 mm body; it conflicts with the model-specific original drawing. The dimensions above follow the original drawing. Confirm the production outline before mounting.
- The published 5 A and 3 A ratings conflict. Obtain the exact switch and load-category rating before load sizing; do not infer an inductive-load rating from the resistive figure.
- For rod models, 30 mm is pretravel PT, not a verified maximum overtravel. Set the mechanism using the exact permissible travel; do not use the switch as a mechanical end stop.
- Identify COM, NO and NC by the supplied wiring diagram and a de-energized continuity check; the typical brown/blue/black color mapping can vary by batch.
- Protect the cable entry from pulling and repeated bending, preserve seals and isolate the circuit before wiring. IP67 does not imply resistance to all liquids, pressure washing or indefinite immersion.
- This position switch page does not establish a safety integrity level or suitability as a complete emergency-stop device.
