WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency
stop devices or in any other application where failure of
the product could result in personal injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
OP switches are used in applications where the splash
of oil, water or other liquids might hamper the operation
of less-adequately protected switches. A gasket
between cover and housing plus an O-ring shaft seal
provide the seal for OP switches. OP switches are NOT
explosion-proof.
Rotary OP's sealed construction provides protection
from the entry of dust, water, oil and noncorrosive
liquids as defined in NEMA 1, 3, 4 and 13.
Since "Q" plunger actuators are not sealed, it is
recommended that the switch be mounted so that liquids
will not fall directly on the plunger. These plunger
actuators meet NEMA 1 enclosure requirements.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH
A mounting bracket (15PA85-EX) is furnished at no
extra cost with most OP switches. This permits all rotary
operated switches to be mounted from top, bottom, back
or right end. Plunger switches may be mounted on back,
bottom or right end with this standard bracket. For top
mounting of plunger switches, bracket 15PA86-EX must
be purchased separately.
ELECTRICAL RATINGS
Electrical ratings of OP switches depend on the type of
basic switch enclosed in the housing. Ratings are shown
on page 2 along with letter keys (A, B, C, D) shown in
table of listings on page 3.
15PA85-EX
Fasten bracket to switch with screws furnished. Bracket
may be secured to mounting surface with .250" machine
screws.
15PA86-EX
Fasten bracket to top of switch with screws furnished.
Bracket may be secured to mounting surface with .250"
machine screws.

ADJUSTING ROLLER ARMS
The roller lever assembly is adjustable through 360° at
any of 1,980 positive lock positions at intervals of
approximately 0.2°.
To adjust the roller lever to the desired position, hold the
hexagon washer with a wrench and loosen lock nut
sufficiently to disengage the serrations. Hold shaft in
position by means of the hexagon washer so that no
torque will be applied to the internal parts of the unit
when the lock nut is tightened or loosened. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the enclosed switching
mechanism.
Moving lever one serration forward or backward with
respect to serrations on fluted washer changes the
position of the lever approximately 8.2° (see sketch on
page 3).
Moving lever and fluted washer, as a unit, one serration
forward or backward with respect to serrations on the
hexagon washer changes position of the lever 8°.
Moving the lever one serration in one direction, and the
lever and fluted washer, as a unit, one serration in the
other direction, changes position of the arm
approximately 0.2°.
After positioning lever arm, tighten lock nut sufficiently to
prevent slippage of arm, but avoid over tightening.
Excessive tightening will also deform the hexagon
serrated washer and cause lever assembly to bind.
STRAIGHT PLUNGER ACTUATION
Do not actuate by cams or slides or by any other
device which will impart side thrust to the plunger. Use
straight "push" action in the direction of the plunger
motion. Do not oil this plunger mechanism. Sufficient
grease of the proper type is assembled in the plunger
during manufacture to last the lifetime of the switch.
Additional grease, oil, water or fine abrasive may cause
jamming or electrical failure.
REPLACING BASIC SWITCH
1. Observe this notice:
Disconnect power supply circuit before opening switch.
2. Remove cover of housing, disconnect the lead-in
wires, loosen screws holding the basic switch, then
remove the basic switch.
3. Place replacement switch in the insulator, insert the
screws, and place basic switch in the housing.
4. Tighten the screws and connect the lead-in wires.
5. Be sure small compression spring is returned to its
position between the top of the basic switch and the
internal lever (or above internal lever in the case of
the CCW actuated switches).
