11. Notes on Actuators with a Switch (Optional)
On actuators with a switch, the switch is stored inside the actuator body. (The switch can be accessed by
removing the side covers.)
Microswitch and switch dog are adjusted to the optimal positions before shipment.
Do not loosen the mounting screws or bend the switch dog.
If the mounting screws are loosened or switch dog is bent, the optimal positions will be lost and the switch
may not demonstrate its intended function.
Do not increase the homing speed beyond the default factory setting.
If the homing speed is increased beyond the default, the switch may be damaged.
Do not move the slider toward the mechanical end from the home position other than during homing.
If the actuator is moved manually or at high speed by jogging, etc., and the switch dog contacts the
microswitch as a result, the switch may be damaged.
When moving the slider manually toward the mechanical end during motor replacement, etc., move the
slider slowly.
When changing the home direction after shipment (such as when a need arises to move the factory-set
home position to the opposite side due to a specification change, etc.), the microswitch position and
switch dog must be readjusted.
Should you require such adjustment, contact the IAI sales office near you.
If the side covers were removed for maintenance, etc., be careful not to pinch the switch cables when
reinstalling the covers.
In particular, pay attention when the home is set on the opposite side, because the switch cables are
stored in the space between a side cover and the base.
