Limited Switch：
In printing, the main purpose of the limit
switch is, when the transport plane arrived
at edge machine; ensure the machine can
stop moving in a timely manner.
1. As shown in the FRONT (former) panel, the BACK (BACK) and LEFT (LEFT) panel
installed two position switch, only tighten-up without limit switch, for subsequent
adjustment.
注意：短线限位开关装在 BACK 板下部
限位开关应安装在面板上的限位标示处
限位开关的位置应和面板标识字(FRONT, BACK, LEFT)同侧
限位开关的弹簧片应朝向内侧
为方便后续安装，各面板上限位开关编号如图，后续限位开关描述均按照此编号
Note: Short wire limit switch located at the bottom of the BACK panel.
Limit switches shall be installed at the mark on the panel.
The location of the limit switch should be on the same side with the panel logo word

The spring leaf should be toward the inside of limit switch.
In order to facilitate subsequent installation, each panel limit switch Numbers as
shown in figure, the subsequent limit switch description are numbered in accordance
with this.
