<How to move the switch>
Loosen the set screw of the switch, move the switch along the groove of the main body, and tighten the set
screw at the specified position.
<When the stroke intermediate position is installed>
To detect the position in the middle of the stroke, move the switch back and forth on the piston with the
piston fixed at the stop position and find the position where the switch is turned on first and the position
where it is turned off. The middle of the two positions is the highest sensitivity position at that piston position.
<About the mounting surface of the switch>
There is no restriction on the mounting surface of this product. However, there are no switch grooves on the
port surface for tube inner diameters φ 12 and 16. It is possible to install T type switch on 3 sides except port
side. F type switches can be mounted on port surfaces with bore inner diameters φ 20 and 25. Please install
it on the easy to use surface.
