Limit Switch

Figure 17: Limit switch

TO AVOID ANY PERSONAL INJURY DO NOT TOUCH CONTROL

VANES DURING OPERATION.
Remove three screws A including tooth lock washer from

plastic cover
Attach limit indicator B so that the flattened shaft end 19

contacts the groove of the limit indicator shaft in the positioner
Attach limit indicator by means of three longer screws C

and washers
Test: the coupling shaft at back of positioner should easily be

turnable, thereby also moving the vanes of the limit indicator If

this is not the case, loosen screws C and flush-align the shafts of

positioner and limit switch (turn coupling shaft several times)
Replace short travel indicator 12 by long travel indicator
Screw high cover 28 (or standard cover with insert frame) on

housing

Switch Functions
Feedback lever, feedback shaft and the control vanes are all

connected to each other, without an intermediate transmission

The control vanes are therefore moving simultaneously with the

same angle rate as the feedback lever
The length of the control vane corresponds with the swing angle

of 120°
Both control vanes are located on different planes Each control

vane can be seen independently from the other, because each

has its own sensor
By adjusting the screws, the control vanes can be adjusted

relatively to the angle rate, so that, for example, one vane dives

into and another dives out of the sensor (see illustration)
