PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop
devices, or in any other application where failure of the
product could result in personal injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in death or serious injury.

Mounting
All MICRO SWITCH™ Heavy Duty Limit Switches (HDLS)
have exactly the same mounting dimensions. They may be
mounted by either of two methods: (a) use two #10 screws
from the front, or (b) use two #10-32 UNF screws from the
back. The HDLS Series offers the advantage of front
mount construction. The electrician will find a complete
switch, with no parts missing and ample wiring space.

With plug-in construction, wiring and conduit connection is Figure 2. MICRO SWITCH™ HDLS Mounting
made to the base receptacle. This feature also reduces Diagram
downtime, since the plug-in unit can be removed without
disconnecting wiring or conduit.

To mount either type of HDLS switch, tighten mounting

screws, tighten the plug-in unit or cover screws, and make
sure conduit section is sealed. Use of sealant (Teflon®
tape, pipe dope, etc.) is recommended to seal conduit
connection. Torque 1.4 Nm to 1.8 Nm [12 in-lb to 16 in-lb].

Because of moisture condensation, it is not advisable to

mount the switch upside down or at the low point of conduit
runs.
