7. Insert the supplied plugs into the topside of the hinge, and the bottom of the switch, to protect the switch from dirt or debris.
8. Test the function of the switch to verify the proper (expected) operation.

Fine-Adjusting the Switch Point Setting

Use the adjustment screw to adjust the setting by ±1.5°. This can be useful to compensate for deviations during installation or later (for
example, a misplaced stop or machine vibration). To make the adjustment, insert the supplied screwdriver into the switch point adjust-
ment slot and turn clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the setting. For most applications, adjust the angle to its func-
tional minimum position.

Relocating the Switch Point Setting or Repositioning the Hinge

The switch point setting can be changed (to mount the switch in a new location, for example). Changing the setting requires replacement
of the red plastic washer. See

Replacement Accessory Kit

on page 13 for a kit that includes a replacement washer.

The hinge must be removed from the switch component to change the earlier switch point setting. The hinge may then be reinstalled on
the same side of the switch as before, or it may be installed to the opposite side (a left-hand hinge may be converted to a right-hand
hinge, and vice versa).
To perform either task:

1. Remove the screws fastening the hinge to the switch using the supplied tool. Retain the screws for later reuse.

Figure 9. Remove the screws

2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the hinge housing and the plastic plug to gently pry the plastic plugs out. Retain the plastic

plugs for later reuse.
