APPLICATION
These switches are manually operated devices adaptable to
a wide variety of applications in pneumatic control systems.
They are normally used to perform diverting or supply and
exhaust functions to operate final control components or
index relays in multiple switching systems.
The S520/SK-520 ia a four-branch switch. The S521/SK-521
is a five-branch switch that provides one blocked port in each
knob position.
The S530/SK-530 is a four-branch switch which can be used
to supply a signal to any one of three devices or supply any
one of three signals to a device. Its unused ports are blocked.
The S531/SK-531 is identical except for its unused ports
being exhausted to atmosphere.
The S-540/SK-540 and S541/SK-541 are five-branch
switches which follow the same operating pattern as the
S530/SK-530 Series. However, they can supply a signal to
any one of four devices or vice-versa. Unused ports are
blocked in the S540/SK-540 and exhausted in the
S541/SK-541.
Various dials are available for each model and for specific
switch applications.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Panel Mounting
Inside, These devices have been designed to be mounted on
a MCS-S-P manifold socket which is mounted to the
appropriate manifold backplate.
Surface, These devices may also be mounted on a panel face
(1/2" maximum panel thickness) by using a 1-1/64" mounting
hole, see Figure 2.
Field Mounting
These devices may also be mounted without the backplate,
socket and gasket by using the appropriate mounting bracket
as shown in Table 2 or PKG-1133 kit that includes plastic
mounting strap and adhesive mounting base.
Figure-3 Mounting Dimensions.
DIAL PLATE INSTALLATION
With the knob removed and the locknut run back for
clearance, turn the dial plate to fit over the projections on the
front of the switch body. Align and engage the vertical notch in
the dial plate with the tab behind the top switch body
projection. Tighten the locknut against the back of the dial and
replace knob, see Figure 5.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance of the total system is needed to assure
sustained optimum performance.
REPAIR
No Field repair is possible. Replace selector switch with a
functioning unit.
