1000HE series
Switch joysticks for harsh environments
Overview
SWITCHES
Five switch options are specified as standard. All are configured with change-over contacts, allowing the user
flexibility of connection.
Option 1 - V4 6A/240VAC should be specified where the joystick will be switching smaller current levels.
These switches are supplied with gold flash terminals to ensure reliable switching at very low
current levels.
Option 3 - V4 10A/240VAC should be specified where the joystick will be switching up to 10A.
Option 4 - V4 5A/250VAC with right angle terminals, should be specified for PCB mounting or simpler
termination.
Option 5 - V4 5A/250VAC with 2.8mm Faston style terminals.
Option 7 - V4 10A/250VAC sealed to IP67.
Life and reliability of the switches are heavily determined by the type of application and parameters such as
load. Contact factory for further advice about the expected switch performance under differing loads or DC
supplies.
MECHANICAL OPERATION
All 1000 HE series are sprung to center and are supplied with an open square gate. As standard option the
1000 HE series may be factory fitted with either a single axis (–), cross (+), or diagonal (X) metal limiter.
All joysticks are supplied as standard without a cable harness, allowing the user flexibility of connection.
Alternatively, the joystick may be factory configured with cable harness, upon customer request.
DOUBLE POLE OPERATION
The construction of the joystick is designed so that both switches nominally trigger simultaneously. Such
simultaneous triggering is subject to a ±2º tolerance (between switches) owing to the mechanical tolerances
and hysteresis of each switch.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
From beneath the panel, pass the joystick lever through the mounting cut-out, ensuring the correct
orientation. If additional security is required, apply some Loctite 270 to the thread at the end of the lever.
Ensure the rubber O-ring is in position in the groove on the underside of the hex nut at the base of the
assembled top section.
While holding the lower base in position, take the assembled top section and screw it on to the lever and
joystick bush, using the handle. This should be fitted finger tight until the rubber O-ring meets the panel.
Tighten the hex nut, applying a torque of 1-1.5Nm to seal and add a bond if necessary.
After installation ensure boot is not twisted.
