∗Wiring •Do not pull the lead wires. Especially never lift actuator equipped with Auto switch by holding the lead wires. It can result in damage to inside of Auto switch causing malfunction. •Do not bend or apply tensile stress to lead wires repeatedly. Wiring with repetitive bending stress or tensile stress can cause peel of a sheath.

■Definition and terminology Term Meaning and definition The difference between the points when the Auto switch turns on and off, which is Hysteresis provided to prevent chattering. The center position of the sensor unit (which gets the strongest reaction of the sensor Most sensitive position unit), which means the center position of an operating range as well.
Mounting and Installation ■Installation When mounting the Auto switch to the actuator, the appropriate mounting bracket should be used. "How to mount" depends on the actuator type and bore size. Please refer to the actuator catalogue. For new Auto switch applications, confirm that the actuator includes a magnet before assembling the Auto switch and bracket.
