Safety Precautions

Application Precautions

• Do not use the product in locations subject to explosive or

flammable gases.

• Do not use load currents exceeding the rated value.

• Be sure to wire each conductor correctly.

• Be sure to confirm correct operation after completing mounting and

adjustment.

• Do not drop or attempt to disassemble the product.

• Be sure to use the correct combination of switch and actuator.

• Use a power supply of the specified voltage. Do not use power

supplies with large ripples or power supplies that intermittently

generate incorrect voltages.

• Capacitors are consumable and require regular maintenance and

inspection.

Precautions for Safe Use

Mounting Direction of Switch and Actuator

The Sensor will not operate properly if the switch and actuator come

towards each other diagonally. The Sensor will, however, operate

properly if the switch and actuator come towards each other head-

on, horizontally or vertically (as long as the faces have the same

orientation).

Mutual Interference

If the switch and actuator are mounted in parallel, be sure to

separate them by at least 25 mm, as shown below.

Using for Hinged Doors

On hinged doors, install the Sensor at an opening edge as shown

below.

Solvents

Ensure that solvents, such as alcohol, thinner, trichloroethane, or

gasoline do not adhere to the product. Solvents may cause markings

to fade and components to deteriorate.

Installation Location

Do not install the product in the following locations. Doing so may

result in product failure or malfunction.

• Locations subject to direct sunlight

• Locations subject to humidity levels outside the range 35% to 85%

or subject to condensation due to extreme temperature changes

• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases

• Locations subject to shocks or vibration in excess of the product

ratings

• Locations subject to dust (including iron dust) or salts

Take appropiate and sufficient countermeasures when using the

product in the following locations.

• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise

• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity

• Locations subject to power supply lines

• It is advisable to mount the switches on non ferrous materials.

The presence of ferrous material can effect switching sensitivity.

Wiring

Perform wiring using wire with the following dimensions.

Stranded wire: 2.5 mm2

Solid wire:

4.0 mm2

Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque. Not doing so

may result in malfunction or abnormal heat generation.

Terminal screw tightening torque: 1 Nm for NLPC and NSMC

0,8 Nm for NMPC

Be sure to turn OFF the power before performing wiring.

Do not touch charge parts (e.g., terminals) while power is

ON. Doing so may result in electric shock.

Do not allow the actuator to come close to the switch with

the door open. Doing so may cause machinery to start

operating and may result in injury.

Keep actuators (magnets) away from magnetically

sensitive equipment like PC harddisks, floppy disks etc.

The magnetic field of the magnet will damage existing

data.

Use guard stops in the way shown below to ensure that

the switch and actuator do not make contact when the

guard door is closed.
