3. Verify that the axis of rotation is identical for all hinges used. Typically, this is accomplished by using a straight edge along the long

flat edge to verify that the switch bodies are parallel.

4. Check the rotation of the guard or gate for misalignment and binding after the mounting hardware is secure.

Setting the Switch Point

1. Verify that the hinge switches (and blank hinges, if used) are properly mounted and that the guard or gate swings freely throughout

its range of motion without binding. If binding is noticed, repeat the

Mechanical Installation

on page 3.

2. Place the guard in its closed and latched position.

3. Double-check that the installation is correct and the resulting switching action is as expected.
4. To set the switching point, move the door or hatch to its closed position and fasten it (for example, by a stop) to avoid any swivel-

ing.

5. Tighten by hand the set screw with the supplied bit. The maximum torque is 2 N·m (1.48 lb·ft). Do not over tighten or damage

resulting in the loss of the switch point can occur.

6. When the switching point is correctly set, a green ring, with no red showing, replaces the red color ring (located in the gap between

the hinge and the switch). This occurs when the set screw meets with resistance and firmly engages.
