Switches & Pilot Lights

• Turn off the power to A series control units before starting installation,
removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the control units.
Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or re hazard.

• To avoid a burn on your hand, use the lamp holder tool when
replacing lamps.

Operating Instructions

Replacement of Lens and Marking Plate

Removal

Remove the lens assembly (color lens, marking plate, lens holder, and
spring) by holding the color lens recesses with the Lens Removal Tool
(MT-101) and pulling it out. Remove the marking plate by disengaging
the latches between the color lens and lens holder.
The marking plate must be engraved on the front side as shown at
right.
When using a color film, insert it between the color lens and marking
plate.

Color Lens Marking Plate Lens Holder

Installation

Place the marking plate on the lens holder in the correct direction, and
press the color lens onto the lens holder to engage the latches.
Put the spring on the lens holder and insert the lens holder into the
housing in the correct direction.

Marking

For A series illuminated pushbuttons, legends and symbols can be
engraved on the built-in marking plates, or printed film can be inserted
under the lens for labelling purposes.

• For wiring, use wires of a proper size to meet the voltage and
current requirements. Failure to tighten terminal screws may cause
overheating and create a re hazard.

Replacing the LED Lamp

Removal

Use the lamp holder tool (OR-77) to remove lamps. Do not use pliers.

Installation

Use the lamp holder tool (OR-77) to install lamps. Note the correct side
of the tool for removal or installation.

Panel Mounting

When mounting the control units into a panel, use the optional locking
ring wrench (MT-001) to tighten the locking ring. Do not use pliers.
Tightening torque must not exceed 0.88 N·m. Excessive tightening will
damage the locking ring.

Wiring

Solder the terminal at 350°C within 3 seconds using a 60W soldering
iron. Sn-Ag-Cu is recommended when using lead-free solder. When
soldering, do not touch the control unit with the soldering iron. Also
ensure that no tensile force is applied to the terminal. Do not bend the
terminal or apply excessive force to the terminal. Use a non-corrosive
rosin flux.

Installing the Socket

Install the socket on the control unit with the TOP markings on the
control unit and the socket placed in the same direction.

Switch Guard

IP65 (IEC 60529) switch guards must be used with IP65 (IEC 60529)
control units only. Even if IP65 type switch guards are installed,
enclosed type (IP40) control units are not made waterproof.

Operating Instructions

Opening/closing the Switch Guard

(LB9Z-K2, LB9Z-K3P)

When opening/closing the switch guard while the switch guard is not
installed on a panel, make sure to hold the hinge. Holding the base
might result in damage. Also do not apply force on the guard in other
than open/close directions, otherwise the hinge may be damaged.

Base

Operating Voltage of LED Lamps

The operating voltage of 5V DC is measured at complete DC.

Other Notes

Close Proximity Mounting

When mounting pilot lights or illuminated pushbuttons collectively or
lighting them continuously, heat may cause the ambient temperature
to rise above the rated operating temperature. When the mounting
panel is not made of metal or when the control units are mounted in an
enclosed panel, provide for ventilation or lower the operating voltage.

Replacement of Buttons (Illuminated/Non-illuminated)

Do not replace buttons of maintained action units while the button is
in the locked position. Replacing the button in the locked position may
damage the internal mechanism. Be sure to release the button before
replacing.

Operating and Storage Environment

1. Make sure that the operating/storage temperature and humidity are
within the ratings.

2. Do not use enclosed type units in an environment subject to oil,
water or dust accumulation. In such an area, use the waterproof/
oiltight units (IP65).

Microswitch Contacts

Do not connect NO and NC contacts of a microswitch to different
voltages or different power sources to prevent a dead short-circuit.

IP65 Units

IP65 units are evaluated by conventional cutting and cooling oils, and
can not be used with some special oils. Contact IDEC for resistance
against specific oils.

Selector Switches with Key

Observe the following instructions to prevent malfunction or damage.

• Insert the key to the bottom of the key hole.

• Do not remove the key from any key retained position.

• Besides the standard key (key number 0H), six other key numbers are
available. Use a key of the matching number with the key cylinder.
The standard key does not have a key number indication.
