Installation
Mounting the Panel
After
mounting the Pushbutton Unit to the panel, snap in the Socket
Unit
from the back of the panel.
Mounting the Panel
Insert
the Pushbutton Unit into the front of the panel, and fix the lock
ring
and mounting nut from the terminal side.
Make sure that the lock ring is aligned with the thread of the case
and
the edge of the lock ring is touching the panel.
Tighten the mounting nuts to a torque of 0.20 to 0.39 N •m (3 to
5 kgf •cm).
The
maximum tightening torque is 0.39 N
•m
(5
kgf •cm).

Removing the Lamp
Removing from the Operating Part End
Grip the Lamp with the
A16Z-5080 Extractor and
pull to remove.
Lamp
Removing from the Switch Unit End
The Lamp can be removed by hand once the Switch is removed
using
the A16Z-5080 Extractor
.
Installing the Lamp
When
mounting the Lamp, make
sure it is facing the direction shown
in the following diagram. Insert the Lamp while matching the pro-
truding
part of the Lamp and the
small guides on the outer surface of
the case.
Protruding
part
The
Lamp can be mounted from the operating part end by using the
A16Z-5080 Extractor. The lamp can be mounted by following the
opposite
procedure for removing the Lamp.

Precautions
WARNING
Do not apply a voltage between the incandescent lamp and
the
terminal that is greater than the rated voltage.
If the incan
-
descent
lamp is broken, the operating part may pop out.
Always turn OFF the power and wait for 10 minutes before
replacing the incandescent lamp. If the lamp is replaced
immediately
after the power is turned OFF
, the remaining heat
may cause burns.
Correct Use
Mounting
Always make sure that the power is turned OFF before mounting,
removing,
or wiring the Switch, or performing maintenance.
Do not tighten the mounting nut more than necessary using tools
such as pointed-nose pliers. Doing so will damage the mounting
nut.
The tightening torque is 0.20 to 0.39 N
•
m (3 to 5 kgf
• cm).
Wiring
Solder
terminals and quick-connect terminals
(#1
10) are commonly
used
for terminals.
Be sure to use electrical wires that are a size appropriate for the
applied voltage and carry current (conductor size is 0.5 to 0.75
mm2). Perform soldering according to the conditions provided
below.
If the soldering is not properly performed, the lead wires will
become
detached, resulting in short-circuits.
1. Hand soldering: 30 W
, within 5 s
2. Dip soldering: 240
°
C, within 3 s
Wait for one minute after soldering before exerting any external
force
on the solder
.
Use non-corrosive resin fluid as the flux.
Make
sure that the electric cord is wired so that it does not touch the
Unit.
If the electric cord will touch the Unit, then electric wires with a
heat
resistance of 100
°
C min. must be used.
After wiring the Switch, maintain an appropriate clearance and
creepage
distance.
Operating Environment
The
IP65 model is designed with a protective
structure so that it will
not
sustain damage if it is subjected to water from any direction
to
the front of the panel.
Using the Microload

expectancy due to extreme wear on the contacts caused
by loads where inrush current occurs when the contact is opened
and
closed.
The
A16 allows both a general-purpose load (125 V at 5A, 250 V at 3
A)
and
a microload. If a general-purpose load is applied, however
,
the microload area cannot be used. If the microload area is used
with
a general-purpose load, the contact surface will become rough,
and the opening and closing of the contact for a microload may
become
unreliable.
The minimum applicable load is the N-level reference value. This
value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability
level
of 60% (
λ
60) (conforming to JIS C5003).
The equation, λ 60 = 0.5 x 10–4/time indicates that the estimated
malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 with a reliability level of
60%.

cutting
oil and cooling oil. Some particular oils cannot be used with
the

If the panel is to be finished with coating, etc., make sure that the
panel
meets the specified dimensions after the coating.

Do not subject the Switch to extreme shock or vibration. Doing so
will
cause malfunctions and damage to the Switch.
Do
not let sharp objects come into contact
with the Switches that are
made of resin. Doing so will damage the Switches, causing
scratches
on the outside of the operating parts, and malfunction.
When handling the Switches, do not throw or drop them.
Do not allow the Switch
to drop and hit the
ground.
Do not place or drop
heavy objects on the
Switch.
Do not operate the Switch
with hard or sharp objects.
