Description
Varies 1 N.O. – 1 N.C. Limit Switch Kits (depends on interlock style & Qty)
Level limit switch Kits (quantity depends on application – typically one (1) 1N.O.-1N.C.
switch on all levels equipped with solenoid interlocks), including field-located limit switch
striker / cam assemblies, have been shipped loose to be field mounted, wired, and
adjusted to sense the status/position of the lift carriage per Figure 29.
1. Locate & weld the limit switch cam assembly to the carriage bracing in the
orientation & location shown.
2. Find & assemble the adjustable limit switch kits as shown, including the Unistrut
mounting channel.
3. Once assembled, orientate and field weld the Unistrut channels in such a way as to
allow the limit switch arm to make contact with the limit switch cam when the
carriage is at that corresponding level – leaving room for adjustment.
4. For best results in adjusting position of the switch, loosen the mounting bolts that
hold the switch to the Unistrut channel just enough so that the switch can be lightly
“tapped” into position. It is extremely difficult to loosen the bolts completely and
adjust the switch.
DANGER !
Never go under a platform! To avoid personal injury or
death, be sure the platform has been blocked from underneath! See
“Blocking Instructions.”
