Connector
Tighten the connector within the specified torque range. The
casing may be damaged if the connector is tightened
excessively.
If the 1/2-14NPT is used, cover the cable and conduit end with
sealing tape in order to ensure IP67.
The Pg13.5 connector must be Nippon Flex’s ABS-08Pg13.5 or
ABS-12 Pg13.5.
Use OMRON’s SC-series connector which is suited to the cable
in diameter.
When wiring the D4B-
(provided) to the unused conduit opening and securely tighten
the cap screw within the specified torque.
N, correctly attach the conduit cap
Avoid Damage
The load for the actuator (roller) of the Switch must be imposed
on the actuator in the horizontal direction, or the actuator or the
rotating axis may be deformed or damaged.

When Using a Long-Lever Model
When using a long-lever model like the D4B-
D4B-
17N, the Switch may telegraph. To avoid telegraphing,
take the following precautions.
1.
Set the lever to operate in one direction. For details, see
page NO TAG, CW, CCW or Two-way Operation
2.
Modify the rear end of the dog to an angle of 15

CORRECT SELECTION AND USAGE OF
SWITCHES
Snap-action Switch
A snap-action switch takes only a short time to switch electric
current, which reduces contact arcing and prevents contacts from
wear and tear. For this reason, a snap-action switch is more ideal
than a slow-action switch for applications that require high repeat
accuracy, high operation frequency, and slow operating speed.
Slow-action Switch
The electric current switching time of a slow-action switch differs
in proportion to the operating speed of the switch. A slow-action
switch operates safely via direct drive positive contact opening,
even after metal deposition between mating contacts and
provides insulation capability after contact separation. Opposite
polarity ensures high contact reliability, even when voltages and
currents are small and allows switching of voltages of different
potential by contacts blocks with several contacts. For example, it
is possible to perform a control function with 220 VAC and
signalling function with 60 VDC using only one device.
Safety Switch
The NC contact section of the D4B-
incorporates a shearing force contact separating mechanism.
Based on the above mentioned switching features, the
snap-action switch can be mainly applied to positioning control
purposes and the slow-action switch can be mainly applied to
safety, and protection purposes. Both slow- and snap-action
switches conform to BS5304, IEC 204-1, and VDE 0113 safety
standard.
