CONSTRUCTION
Actuator
The values that guarantee the standards for the limit switch characteristics and functions. For example, the
rated current and rated voltage,
which are preset conditions (load
type, current, voltage, frequency,
etc.)
Operating object
The mechanism and mountings that
operate the limit switch actuator.
Used for mechanical operators
such as cams and dogs.
Detective object
The unit other than mechanical
mountings that operate the limit
switch. Products, parts, jigs, etc.
Reaction spring (movable spring)
The mechanical part that switches
the limit switch contact is called
either the reaction spring or the
moveable spring.
Contact
When the counter-spring revolves,
power is switched on and off through
the contact between metal parts
Contact gap
The effective clearance between the
fixed contact and the moveable contact. Also called breaking distance.
Contact arrangement
The construction of the electrical
input/output circuit depending on
use. For example, the following two
applications:

PROTECTIVE CONSTRUCTION
Protective construction
Expresses the degree of protective construction that guards the level of functionability of the switch against ingress of solid
objects, water, and oil. The standards are IEC529 (IEC: International Electrotechnical Commission) standards. IEC standards
determine the level of protection against both water and solid objects, but not against oil.

Dust-proof
The unit is left for 8 hours in an atmosphere in which
2kg of talcum powder per 1m3 is floating. The talcum
powder does not penetrate the inside.
Note: 1. All of the tests cited above were conducted with the cord vent (conduit vent) tightly shut.
2. The above protective constructions are based on IEC standard but major differences may arise due to length of use and operating environment.
This should be thoroughly discussed and verified.
3. When the corrosion-proof model is immersed in water for 30 minutes or more, verify that no water has penetrated the inside before use.

Even if overriding the dog, set the forwards and rearwards motion exactly

5. Operation speed
1) When the operation (acting and
reverting) speed is exceedingly slow,
switching of the contacts will become
unstable and this could cause problems such as failure to make contact
and welding. As a guide, the speed
should be at least 1mm/s.
2) When the operation (acting and
reverting) speed is exceedingly fast,
be careful because the violent motion
could cause breakage and with
increased frequency, contact switching
will not be able to keep up. As a guide,
the switching frequency should be
within 20 times per minute.

FEATURES
1. Subminiature limit switch
Managed to miniaturize the comparative
bulk with high density mountings in the
equipments detector to approximately
1/3 of our own ML limit switches, or
approximately 1/1.6 of the Z model
microswitch.
Approx. 1/3
6. Long life
By combining the excellent reliability and
solvent proofing of the FS-T microswitch
with the L shape spring, we have
achieved a unit with both long life and
high reliability (electrical life: 105
mechanical life: 107
7. Built-in safety features and excellent environment proofing
The case uses 66 nylon glass fiber the
doubly protect the switch. Also, the body
and cap have been ultrasonically welded, creating a flush construction except
for the terminals. Moreover, by adding a
dedicated socket, the construction is
drip-proof, dust-proof, and dirt-proof, creating a flush construction for the unit as a
whole including the terminals.
Rubber cover type: Equivalent to IP60
Socket with cord type: Equivalent to IP64

CAUTIONS
1. Ambient conditions
1) The use of these switches under the
following conditions should be avoided.
If the following conditions should become
necessary, we recommend consulting us
first.
Use where there will be direct con tact
with organic solvents, strong acids or
alkalis, or direct exposure to their vapors.
Use where inflammable or corrosive
gases exist.
Because these switches are not of
water resistant or immersion-proof construction, their use in water or oil should
be avoided. Also, locations where water
or oil can normally impringe upon the
switch or where there is an excessive
accumulation of dust should be avoided.
2) To improve reliability during actual
use, it is recommended that the operation be checked under installation conditions.
3) If OT is too big, the life of limit switch
will be shortened switching friction. Use it
with enough margin of OT. 70% of OT
standard value will be good for use.
4) Do not use the switch in a silicon
atmosphere. Case should be taken
where organic silicon rubber, adhesive,
sealing material, oil, grease or lead wire
generates silicon.
5) Avoid use in excessively dusty environments where actuator operation
would be hindered.
6) When used outdoors (in places where
there is exposure to direct sunlight or
rain such as in multistory car parks) or in
environments where ozone is generated,
the influence of these environments may
cause deterioration of the rubber material. Please consult us if you intend to use
a switch in environments such as these.

FEATURES
1. Broad lineup
Lineup includes reduced-wiring connector type, die casting type with commonlyused screw terminals, and a plastic case
type that puts a priority on economy.
2. Superior environmental resistance
The die-cast type has high sealing characteristics that satisfy the IEC IP67.
3. Standardized connector type
We standardized the reduced-wiring and
easy-installation connector type. This
increases worker efficiency when wiring,
maintaining, and replacing.

CAUTIONS
Common for all types
1. There are limits to what type of environment can be tolerated.
This limit switch is designed under the premise that it will be used in a standard industrial device. Accordingly, there are limits as to
what can be tolerated if used outdoors or where water and oil, etc., may get on the device. The following table indicates how much
water and oil can be withstood (classification of protective structure).
Plastic case (AZH1*)
Protective classification
IP64
IP67
Testing method
Limits on use
Note: Although, initially, the protective classification complies under the testing above, due consideration must be taken because great differences may result depending
on factors such as duration of operation, installation method, and environment.
2. The internal mechanism will break if the actuator is moved beyond its Total-travel (T.T.). Always use within the T.T.
Die casting case
1) Do not expose HL limit switch to hot
water (over 60C 140F) and in a water
vapor environment.
2) Avoid the place where organic solvents, strong acid, strong alkali liquid
and vapor may attach to the products
directly. Prevent using the HL limit switch
in place where inflammable or corrosive
gas will be generated.
3) Do not change the operating position
by bending the actuator.
4) Use within an ambient temperature of
10 to 80C. (However, do not allow it to
freeze.)
Plastic case
1) Do not use in water or oil. Do not
place the switch where it is always
exposed to water or dust splash.
2) Do not expose HL limit switch to hot
water (over 60C 140F) and in a water
vapor environment.
3) Avoid the place where organic solvents, strong acid, strong alkali liquid
and vapor may attach to the products
directly. Prevent using the HL limit switch
is place where inflammable or corrosive
gas will be generated.
4) Do not change the operating position
by bending the actuator.
5) Use within an ambient temperature of
10 to 80C. (However, do not allow it to

Limit Switches
Standard type
(Short roller lever)
1. Long life
High efficiency coil spring switching
mechanism for long life: More than 107
mechanical operations.
2. Great mechanical strength while
being compact and lightweight
The attachment pitch is 25.4mm
(1.000inch), same as for the Z basic
model microswitch. Also, the outer cover
cap uses a strong plastic with excellent
mechanical characteristics. An M4 bolt
can be used for the attachment.
3. The overtravel (O.T.) is large with
great shock absorption
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Used in sequence control of food processing machines, automatic packaging
machines, conveyers, and processors.
Ideal for light industry machinery when
installation pace is limited and a protective construction is sought.

Terminal Mold Type (Epoxy-Sealed Terminal Type)
The waterproof type (IP64) has its terminals sealed with epoxy resin.
1. Type of product
All the standard type have this epoxy-sealed
terminal types.
2. Appearance
The dimensions are the same as
those of the standard type.
The cord outlet is located either at
the N.C. or COM side.
The cord is 1 m 3.281ft. long.

CAUTIONS
1. Ambient conditions
1) When the switch is to be used in
places where oil or is abundant, bore a
drain hole in the bottom of the terminal
cover.
2) Avoid places where highly acid or
alkaline fluids are used or high temperatures prevail.
3) This model uses silver terminals.
Therefore, if used at relatively low frequencies for long periods of time, or if
used with very small loads, the oxidization that forms on the contact surfaces
will not wear away and eventually cause
improper contact. For such applications,
use limit switches with gold/metal contacts (e.g. VL limit switches) or ones
meant for small loads (e.g. HL limit
switches).
4) This switch is not designed for underwater use. Do not use the unit underwater.
5) To improve reliability during actual
use, it is recommended that the operation be checked under installation conditions.
6) If OT is too big, the life of limit switch
will be shortened switching friction. Use it
with enough margin of OT. 70% of OT
standard value will be good for use.
7) Do not use the switch in a silicon
atmosphere. Case should be taken
where organic silicon rubber, adhesive,
sealing material, oil, grease or lead wire
generates silicon.
8) Avoid use in excessively dusty environments where actuator operation
would be hindered.
Standard type
N.C.
COM
Side mounting
To mount onto a side, use M4 screws
with washers and secure it firmly. The
tightening torque should be 1.18 to 1.47
Nm (12 to 15 kgcm).
Panel mounting
(panel mount plunger type)
When installing the panel mounting type
onto a panel, the tightening torque for
the hex. nut should be 7.84 Nm (80
kgcm).
For terminal mold types (epoxy-sealed
terminal types), there are two types by
the cord outlet direction; N.C. side and
COM side.
3. Flexible rod
1) Put the detective object to the tip of
plastic part.
2) Avoid pushing the tip of actuating
spring in the direction of axis. In the
places of oil or water splashes and much
dust area, use the limit switch with keeping the actuating spring in the vertical
direction.

Mounting
The QL micro limit switch is manufactured with a very small variation in the
distance between the datum plane and
the operating point. When the operating
point has been accurately established
and the mounting position clearly determined, two M4 bolts should be used
securely fastening the switch.

CAUTIONS
1. Ambient conditions
1) The use of these switches under the
following conditions should be avoided. If
the following conditions should become
necessary, we recommend consulting us
first.
Use where there will be direct contact
with organic solvents, strong acids or
alkalis, or direct exposure to their
vapors.
Use where inflammable or corrosive
gases exist.
2) Because these switchies are not of
water resistant or immersion-proof construction, their use in water or oil should
be avoided. Also, locations where water
or oil can normally impringe upon the
switch or where there is an excessive
accumulation of dust should be avoided.
2. Wiring
1) Although QL limit switches have large
over-travel (O.T.), excessive O.T. will
occur wear and change in its characteristics. Specifically, where there is a need
for long life, it is recommended that the
proper O.T. should be used.
When the operating object is in the free
condition, force should not be applied
directly to the actuator.
2) Use their own accessories when
mounting and wiring QL limit switches so
as to maintain their own characterisrics.
3) In order to maintain the reliability at a
high level under practical conditions of
use, the actual operating conditions
should be checked for the benefit of the
quality of the product.
4) Do not use the switch in a silicon

Roller Direction
Hex. nut
The roller lever can be set in two directions at 180 intervals. (Even though it
can be also set in the 90 direction, the
mounting surface will project.) Remove
the four lever base fastening screws,
turn the lever together with the lever
base in 180, and retighten the four
screws at a torque of 0.20 to 0.39 Nm {2
to 4 kgcm}.

Mounting
1) When mounting, use washers (to prevent loosening) and tighten at a torque of
0.49 to 0.69 Nm {5 to 7 kgcm}.
2) To securely mount the switch, not only
fasten the main switch body only with
two mounting holes, but also provide two
4 +0.2
0.35 mm dia. and max. 5mm .197inch
high projections and insert them into the
holes on the bottom of the main switch
body.

CAUTIONS
1) This model uses silver terminals.
Therefore, if used at relatively low frequencies for long periods of time, or if
used with very small loads, the oxidization that forms on the contact surfaces
will not wear away and eventually cause
improper contact. For such applications,
use limit switches with gold/metal contacts (e.g. VL limit switches) or ones
meant for small loads (e.g. HL limit
switches).
2) This switch is not designed for underwater use. Do not use the unit underwater.
3) Do not use the switch where it may
come in direct contact with organic solvents, strong acids, strong alkaline liquids or stream, or in atmospheres containing flammable or corrosive gases.
4) For the arm type (roller arm type,
adjustable roller arm type), the arm can
only be set at 15 interval.
5) To improve reliability during actual
use, it is recommended that the operation be checked under installation conditions.
6) If OT is too big, the life of limit switch
will be shortened switching friction. Use it
with enough margin of OT. 70% of OT
standard value will be good for use.
7) Do not use the switch in a silicon
atmosphere. Case should be taken
where organic silicon rubber, adhesive,
sealing material, oil, grease or lead wire
generates silicon.

WIRING (unit: mm inch)
1. Insulation distance greater than
6.4 mm
Reinforced plastic with superior electrical
insulation characteristics is used in the
wiring and charging sections. Despite its
compactness, to maintain stable insulation performance, the insulation distance
for each part is greater than 6.4 mm
without using an insulation sheet.
(Complies with UL, CSA, and VDE.)

CAUTIONS
1. Over travel (O.T.)
1) When overtravel is too large, life is
shortened due to possible damage to the
mechanism. Please use in the following
appropriate range.
Types
Plunger
(AZ8111, 8112, 8122)
Roller Arm
(AZ8104, 8107, 8108)
Flexible Rod
(AZ8166, 8169)
Overtravel
1.5 to 2.0mm
.059 to .079inch
20 to 30
15 to 20mm .591 to
.787inch (at the top)
2. Ambient conditions
1) Because these switches are not of
immersion protected construction, their
use in water or oil should be avoided.
Also, locations where water or oil can
normally impinge upon the switch or
where there is an excessive accumulation of dust should be avoided.
2) The use of these switches under the
following conditions should be avoided. If
the following conditions should become
necessary, we recommend consulting us
first.
Use where there will be direct contact
with organic solvents, strong acids or
alkalis, or direct exposure to their vapors.

VL (AZ8)
4. Lamp holder
1) As shown in the photograph, wrench a
minus-driver in the gap between the
cover and the part of the indicator holder
indicated by the arrow in the direction of
insertion, and raise the lamp a little.
2) After removing the indicator holder,
insert it in the reverse direction, and
push it in until a snap is heard.
3) After changing the direction of the
indicator holder, put the cover on it in
such a way that the spring touches the
top of the terminal screw.
(Unless the spring rests completely on
the terminal screw, distortion of the
spring, failure in lighting of the lamp or
short circuit may result.)

5. Spring type
1) When loads are connected to both
N.O. and N.C. only the indicatin at nonoperation time can be used.
2) Take special care not to damage or
deform the contact spring during change
of indicator holder direction or during
connection work.
3) In the case of VL limit switch with
neon lamp, if the lamp is connected in
series in a 100V circuit, the lamp ceases
to be lighted.
However, for a 200V circuit, up to 2
lamps can be connected in series.
6. Lead type
1) When loads are connected to both
N.O. and N.C. indication can be given on
both N.O. and N.C. sides, but it is impossible to connect the indication circuit to
the load in series and parallel.

CAUTIONS
1. Please use the lamp connection circuit
within the lamp ratings.
2. Nylon is used for a lamp cover. Avoid
using in the atmospheres containing acid
substance.
3. The lamp cover cannot be installed on
previous limit switches.
4. Remove the lamp holder with a v driver, and insert it in the opposite direction.

CAUTIONS
1) This model uses silver terminals.
Therefore, if used at relatively low frequencies for long periods of time, or if
used with very small loads, the oxidization that forms on the contact surfaces
will not wear away and eventually cause
improper contact. For such applications,
use limit switches with gold/metal contacts (e.g. VL limit switches) or ones
meant for small loads (e.g. HL limit
switches).
2) This switch is not designed for underwater use. Do not use the unit underwater.
3) Do not use the switch where it may
come in direct contact with organic solvents, strong acids, strong alkaline liquids or stream, or in atmospheres containing flammable or corrosive gases.
67
1. Compact
Same size as the VL mini limit switch: a
compact limit switch perfectly suited to
this era of space-saving.
2. Sturdy construction
A sturdy construction comparable to any
limit switch which uses a zinc die-cast
body, a glass-weave reinforced plastic
head, and a cover. The terminal cover
also boasts excellent dust-proof and
drip-proof capabilities.
3. Easy wiring
Because this unit uses the same terminal
screw wiring method as the VL mini limit
switch, the wiring space is large and the
wiring work easy.
4. Highly accurate position detection
Because hardly any pretravel (P.T.) is
necessary, highly accurate position
detection is possible.

APPLICATION HINTS
1. Fundamental applications
Detection of grounded objects
The resistance between objects (conductor) and ground should be less than
500; if they are grounded. It has nothing to do with the volume of objects.

2. Typical applications
Detection of a snap of threads
When threads are snapped, the grounded rod will touch the antenna and actuate the switches. The force of the
grounded rod can be small because just
touching is enough.

Measuring equipment
A receptacle (conductor) is lowered
down by the weight of measured objects,
touches the antennas and actuates the
switches. As there is almost no movement differential (MD), accurate measurement is possible.

2. Ambient conditions
1) Avoid using VL-T switches in the following conditions:
In corrosive gases.
In flammable or explosive atmospheres
2) Use within an operating voltage of 10
to 30 V (ripple factor: max. 10%)
3) Use within an ambient temperature of
20 to +60C 4 to +140F.
4) When VL-T detects water (conductor),
its antenna can be immersed in water.
Since its body is not of water tight construction, avoid using it in locations
where water or oil can splash over it or
dust is heavily accumulated.
5) Avoid installing lead wires or antenna
of VL-T in parallel with power wire.

3. Sensitivity adjustment
1) Use a v screw driver and turn the
sensitivity adjustment knob to the right
(H) for higher sensitivity (Max. 20 pF)
and to the left (L) for lower sensitivity
(50 pF).
Max. 20 pF to min. 50 pF sensitivity
adjustment is possible.
2) When you set the sensitivity, you must
set it a little higher than the detection
level and provide a sensitivity allowance.

WIRING
Terminal uses a M3.5 angle washer
attachment.
During wiring work, do not connect the
lead wire directly to the terminal, but via
a crimp contact. However, this excludes
single wiring.
Wiring by solder should be avoided.
1. Wiring method
Insert a flat screwdriver into the indentation of the product side, and remove the
terminal cover.

Because the magnelimit is not waterproof, avoid using in areas where it may
be splashed with either water or oil. Also,
avoid using in locations where dust may
accumulate.
Do not use in atmospheres where the
unit may directly come into contact with
any kind of organic solvent, strong acid
or alkaline liquids, or combustible or corrosive gasses.
Avoid using in silicon environments
such as organic silicon-based rubber,
solvents, sealants, oil, grease, or wiring.
The moveable parts on the magnelimit
such as the gates are equipped with a
stopper, so avoid attachments that
require them to bear the full load.
In order to improve reliability under
actual working conditions, check the
quality under as close to actual working
conditions as possible.
This magnelimit has a built-in electromagnet. For this reason, take care not to
place floppy disks, magnetic cards, or
other magnetic recording mediums near
the unit, as the data may be corrupted or
lost.

CE markings and EC
directives
The worlds largest single market, the
European Community (EC) was born on
1 January 1993 (changing its name to
EU in November 1993. It is now always
expressed as EU, apart from EC directives.) EU member country products
have always had their quality and safety
guaranteed according to the individual
standards of each member country.
However, the standards of each country
being different prevented the free flow of
goods within the EU. For this reason, in
order to eliminate non-tariff barriers due
to these standards, and to maximize the
merits of EU unification, the EC directives were issued concomitant to the
birth of the EU.
Appropriate EC directives
for control equipment
products
The main EC directives that are to do
with machinery and electrical equipment
are the machinery directive, the EMC
directive, the low voltage directive, and
the telecom directive. Although these
directives have already been issued, the
date of their enactment is different for
each one. The machinery directive was 1
January 1995. The EMC directive was 1
January 1996, and the low voltage directive was enacted from 1 January 1997.
The telecom directive was established by
the separate CTR (Common Technology
references.)
