5. Installation
In free state (C-NC closed), actuator must not contact switch leaf. Depress leaf ≥ 0.6 mm for contact transfer. Apply 12 N vertical force at PT + 2/3 OT for reliable switching.
⚠️ Precautions
- Disconnect power before installation or maintenance.
- Precision device — incorrect force on actuator will cause damage.
