Operation Indicator-equipped Models

Some models can be equipped upon request with a operation indicator to facilitate maintenance and inspection. Because the indicator is incorporated in the Terminal Protective Cover, the dimensions of the Limit Switch are not affected. In this model, the lead wire is to be connected to the screw terminal. (A connecting washer is provided on the tip of the lead wire). The lead wire can be connected to either the NC or NO terminal.
Operating characteristics are the same as the basic model from in each. Not approved by UL, CSA and EN.
* 12/24 VDC products are not subject to EN standards because their voltage is below that subject to CE marking regulations.
