Operation of Limit Switch
Actuator Position Change (HL-5000, HL-5030,
HL-5050)
To change the angle of the actuator, loosen the Allen-head bolt on
the side of the actuator lever. Then the actuator can be set at any
angle.
Loosen the Allen-
head bold
Head Direction Change (HL-5000, HL-5030)
(HL-5050, HL5200)
To change the head direction, loosen the two mounting screws.
Then the head can be changed at 90°increments in one of four
directions.

Precautions
Wiring
Wiring Procedure
1. Loosen the cover mounting screws and remove the cover.
2. Disconnect the rubber connector from the box conduit and
press-fit a solderless terminal. The following solderless
terminals are available.
3. After inserting the solderless terminal into the Switch, tighten
the terminal screws securely.
4. After wiring the Limit Switch, insert the rubber connector into
the groove of the box securely.
5. Tighten the three mounting screws evenly. The optimum
tightening torque for each screw is 0.49 to 0.59 N Sm {5 to
6 kgf Scm}.

Mounting
To mount the Limit Switch securely, be sure to use two M5 Allen-
head bolts and washers. The tightening torque applied to each bolt
is 4.90 to 5.88 N Sm {or 50 to 60 kgf Scm}. To mount the Limit Switch
more securely, use two M5 screw holes on the rear panel and rear
holes for positioning if the model is the HL-5jjjG-Series Limit
Switches.
Mounting holes
Two, 5.2-dia. holes (located
diagonally for securing the rear side)
Two, M5 screws or 5.2-dia. holes (located

Only the HL-5jjjG has M5 x 0.8 screw holes on the rear side.

Others
•Do not use the Limit Switch outdoors, otherwise the Limit Switch
will become damaged by rust or ozone.
•The Limit Switch is not suitable in places exposed to the spray of
rainwater, seawater, or oily water. Consult your OMRON
representative for models resisting rainwater, seawater, and oily
water.
•If high-sealing performance is required along with shielded
wiring or conduit wiring, use the D4C or WL.
Correct Tightening Torque
A loose screw may result in a malfunction. Be sure to tighten each
screw to the proper tightening torque as shown below.
No. Type Optimum tightening
torque
1Head mounting screw 0.49 to 0.59 N Sm
2Cover mounting screw 0.49 to 0.59 N Sm
3Allen-head bolt 4.90 to 5.88 N Sm
4Terminal screw 0.49 to 0.59 N Sm
5Switch mounting screw 4.90 to 5.88 N Sm
Note: If the head direction has been changed, check the torque of
each screw and make sure that the screws are free of for-
eign substances, and that each screw is tightened to the
proper torque.
