Precaution when using LED - equipped limit switch
If the input of PLC does not turn off because of the leakage current from the LED-
equipped limit switch, the use of a bleeder resistor is recommended, as shown below.

The off voltage of input is 2.4 V, therefore when the power supply voltage is 24 V, select the
bleeder resistor "R" so that
the current will be greater than I =
The resistance R of the bleeder resistor is: R
The wattage W of the resistor is: W =
In the actual selection, use a value that is 3 to 5 times the value of W.
