Safety Precautions
Refer to OMRON SAFETY COMPONENTS SERIES (Y106) for 
common precautions for Switches and Safety Limit Switches.
Do not use metal connectors or metal conduits with this Switch. 
Doing so may occasionally result in electric shock.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Do not drop the 
Switch
. Doing so may result in the 
Switch
 not 
performing to its full capacity.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the 
Switch
. Doing so may 
cause the 
Switch
 to malfunction.
• Do not use the 
Switch
 where explosive gas, flammable gas, or any 
other hazardous gas may be present.
•
Do not use the Switch submerged in oil or water, or in locations 
continuously subject to splashes of oil or water. Doing so may result 
in oil or water entering the Switch interior. (The IP67 degree of 
protection specification for the Switch refers to water penetration 
while the Switch is submersed in water for a specified period of 
time.)
• Protect the head from foreign material. Subjecting the head to 
foreign material may result in premature wear or damage to the 
Switch. Although the switch body is protected from penetration by 
dust or water, the head is not protected from penetration by minute 
particles or water.
• Turn the power OFF before wiring. Doing so may result in electric 
shock.
• Install the cover after wiring. Not doing so may result in electric 
shock.
• Connect a fuse to the Switch in series to protect the Switch from 
short-circuit damage. Use a fuse with a breaking current 1.5 to 2 
times larger than the rated current. To conform to EN ratings, use 
an IEC60269-compliant 10-A fuse type gI or gG.
• Do not switch circuits for two or more standard loads (250 VAC, 
3 A) at the same time. Doing so may adversely affect insulation 
performance.
• The durability of the Switch is greatly affected by operating 
conditions. Evaluate the Switch under actual working conditions 
before permanent installation and use within a number of switching 
operations that will not adversely affect the Switch’s performance.
• Be sure to indicate in the machine manufacturer’s instruction 
manual that the user must not attempt to repair or maintain the 
Switch and must contact the machine manufacturer for any repairs 
or maintenance.
• Check the Switches before use and inspect regularly, replacing 
them when necessary. If a Switch is kept pressed for an extended 
period of time, the components may deteriorate quickly, and the 
Switch may not release. 
Precautions for Correct Use
Environment
• The Switch is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not use the Switch outdoors. Doing so may cause the Switch to 
malfunction.
• Do not use the Switch where hazardous gases (e.g., H
2
S, SO
2
, 
NH
3
, HNO
3
, CI
2
) are present or in locations subject to high 
temperature and humidity. Doing so may result in damage to the 
Switch caused by contact failure or corrosion.
• Do not use the Switch under any of the following conditions.
• Locations subject to extreme temperature changes.
• Locations where high humidity or condensation may occur.
• Locations subject to excessive vibration.
• Locations where metal dust, processing waste, oil, or chemicals 
may penetrate through the protective door.
• Locations subject to detergents, thinner, or other solvents.
Mounting Method
Mounting Screw Tightening Torque
Tighten each of the screws to the specified torque. Loose screws 
may result in malfunction of the Switch within a short time.
Switch Mounting
• Mount the Switch using M4 screws and washers and tighten the 
screws to the specified torque.
• For safety, use screws that cannot be easily removed, or use an 
equivalent measure to ensure that the Switch is secure.
• Secure the Switch with two M4 bolts and washers. Provide studs 
with a diameter of 4
−0.05
/
−0.15
 and a height of 4.8 mm max. at two 
places, inserting into the holes at the bottom of the Switch as 
shown below so that the Switch is firmly fixed at four points.
Switch Mounting Holes One-conduit Type
Two-conduit Type
• Make sure that the dog contacts the actuator at a right angle. 
Applying a load to the switch actuator (roller) on a slant may result 
in deformation or damage of the actuator or rotary shaft.
