Operating Environment

• Do not install switch where heavy dust collection occurs. Dust build-up under rocker may affect switch actuation.

• Do not actuate switch if submerged in water or oil.

• Installation is not recommended on horizontal surface in an environment where frequent splashing of

water may occur. In such an environment, a minimum 30° angle installation is advisable. If there is

a possibility of freezing, install vertically so no moisture will be retained within switch housing.

Panel Mounting

• Before snapping a switch into the panel, align the gasket evenly under bezel of the switch.

• When mounting into a panel, apply equal pressure to sides of bezel and insert parallel to panel.

• After mounting a switch, be sure there are no gaps between switch and panel.

Lightly push into panel.

• After installing into panel, do not apply excessive force.

• After panel installation and wiring is completed, do not apply force horizontally

or vertically from behind panel.

• Behind the panel, cut area should be squared. If front of panel is painted, do not allow any paint to collect in

corners of cutout to prevent level mounting.

• Avoid reinstalling a switch once it has been mounted in a panel. This may cause deterioration of panel sealability.
