A resistor can be added in series to limit the inrush current (at least 48 Ohms for
24V applications). The resistor can be added in series just before the load. The
voltage drop and the power rating of the resistor must be considered. Voltage

R (I = maximum continuous current of the load).
drop = I•R; Watts = I
6. When mounting the switch on an ungrounded machine, ground the switch housing
by connecting your ground lead to one of the switch mounting screws.

The parallel actuation can result in on/off/on signal if the actuator passes by the
switch rather than coming to rest in proximity to it. This is NOT a recommended
configuration for safety interlock applications.

The L.E.D of the BLT model will be on when the guard is open. If multiple guards
are open, L.E.D will be dimmer. The maximum number of GuardSwitches that can
be used is 50, although troubleshooting and line resistance must be considered.
(Do not exceed 30 Ohms of combined contact and line resistance. Each GuardSwitch
will have less than 0.5 Ohms of resistance.)
