• Wiring
Wiring shall be in accordance with all local codes. Lead wires are #22
AWG, UL listed (UL1430). APG recommends the use of solderless lugs for
Black
Black
Switch Rating (Resistive)
• Max capacity 50 VA, 50 W
• Max current
0.5 A AC, 50 A DC
• Max voltage 300 VAC, 300 VDC
Yellow
Yellow
Switch Rating (Resistive)
• Max capacity 10 VA, 10 W
• Max current
0.2 A AC, 0.3 A DC
• Max voltage 3100 VAC, 100 VDC
Note: Max pull load of the lead wire is 19.6 N. Excessive pulling or kinking of
the lead wire may break the switch.
Caution!
Protection for electrical surges:
• Overvoltage
Reed switches are not designed for the direct starting of inductive
loads such as motors, contactors, solenoid valves, and so on. They are
susceptible to damage from overvoltages. DO NOT EXCEED THE CONTACT
RATINGS. Contact should be wired to miniature relays, suppressors or
similar devices. We recommend the use of our relay unit model RCU-7000.
• Overcurrent
Momentary surge current may be produced by switching lamps or stray
capacity from long cable length. Consequently reed switch is welded.
Contact should be wired to our relay unit model RCU-7000, coils in series
or suppressors.
