If an auto-switch is to be used to generate an inter-lock signal, which
requires high reliability, then instigate mechanical protection, or place

another switch, double inter-lock style, together. Ensure the correct
operation of this Inter-lock frequently.
Ensure, when installing this product, that enough space is
available for maintenance to be carried out.
CAUTION
Do not subject this product to any form of impact damage.
Do not lift an actuator, fitted with an auto-switch, by the switch lead,
as stress may be applied to the inside of the switch.
Ensure auto-switch mounting screw is tightened to the correct torque
(see Mounting of switch bracket).
Adjust the auto-switch so that the ON position coincides with the cen-
tre of the operating area. If the switch is set to one side or the other
of this centre position then inconsistent operation will occur.
Wiring
Do not apply repeated bending or tensile forces to the
connecting wiring as this may cause disconnection. Bend radius is
approximately R40mm or more.
Connect the load before applying power to the switch, failure to do so
may cause excess current to damage the switch.
Ensure wiring is carried out correctly. Not all wiring modes have pro-
tection and the switch may be damaged.
Separate signal lines from power/high voltage lines to prevent 'noise'.
Ensure all wiring is correctly and fully insulated.
WARNING
DO NOT USE THIS SWITCH IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Do not use this switch in high magnetic fields, as this will damage the
switch and actuator magnet.
Do not use this switch in water-laden atmospheres, oil or chemical
laden atmospheres.
Do not use this switch in conditions where temperatures are outside

Maintenance
To avoid incorrect operation periodic maintenance should be carried out.
•
Check tightness of mounting screw regularly to prevent possible
movement of the switch from its set position.
•
Regularly check condition of the wiring. Repair insulation damage
immediately or replace the switch.
•
If a red LED is showing this indicates that the switch has moved
from the set position. Re-adjust the switch until the green LED is
showing (this is the optimum position).
CAUTION
If detection failure occurs i.e. LED remains ON follow the faultfinding
chart above (Fig 1).
For applications involving contact with water, elasticity, and welding,
contact your nearest SMC Office. (See at the end of this Manual.)
If the hysteresis, between the ON and OFF position of the switch is
incorrect please consult SMC.

Mounting of switch bracket
Each actuator has a specified mounting bracket to mount the switch
to the actuator. The type of bracket depends on the following:
•
Type of actuator, and tube O.D. Please consult the current
actuator catalogue for details.
When fitting an auto-switch for the first time please ensure that the
actuator is fitted with a magnet and that the brackets are correct for
the actuator type.

CAUTION
Welding current
This product has no immunity against high magnetic fields. Do not use
in applications where welding takes place using D.C. inverter/rectified
source. If using in conjunction with a D.C. welding application remove
the switch from the D.C. source and operate it as a standard switch.
As a rule of thumb, in this type of application, to prevent malfunction
use the scale 10,000A switch which should be at least 30cm away
from the source.
Effect of magnetisation/de-magnetisation
In the case of exceeding the 10,000A, although this is very rare, the
detecting performance of the switch will deteriorate, due to
de-magnetisation (the magnetic field shrinks) of the detecting
magnet. Parts around the actuator also become magnetised.
Should any malfunction occur please contact your nearest SMC office
for advice.
CAUTION
In all cases do not clean with a solvent solution.
