OPTIONS
Adjustable Stops
Set and reset stops to limit rotation. All
dimensions are the same as for xed stop
switches. Switches are shipped with the stop
blades located to limit rotation to 11 switch
positions.Forcontinuousrotation,removeboth
blades. For limited rotation, remove the 2nd
(clockwise) blade and move it to the hole located
between the positions shown in the Truth Tables.
Removal of a plastic washer provides access to
thebladesandslots.Adjustablestopversions
are available in unsealed styles only.
Shaft and Panel Seal
Switches are available in sealed or unsealed
styles.Forsealedstyle,thepanelissealedby
an o-ring at the base of the bushing. The shaft
