Safety Precautions
Turn off the power to CW series switches before installation, removal, wiring
and maintenance. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or re
hazard.
When wiring, use wires of a proper size to meet the voltage and current require-
ments. Tighten the M3.5 terminal screws to a tightening torque of 1.0 to 1.3
N·m. Failure to tighten the terminal screws may cause overheating and re.
Operating Instructions
Notes for Operation
When using the CW series switches in a safety-
related circuit of a control system, observe safety
rules and regulations of each country concerning
particular applications of the actual machines and
facilities. Perform risk assessment before operation
to ensure safety.
Operating Conditions
In corrosive gas or high-temperature, high-humidity
environments, contact failure due to corrosion or
color change or breakage of the housing may occur.
Main parts of the CW series switches are made
of plastic. Do not scratch the surface with a sharp
object or apply excessive electric shock or load,
otherwise the switches may be damaged. In
particular, keep the button, lens and bezel from such
damage, otherwise appearance and function may be
impaired.
Do not apply detergents, cutting oils, or chemicals
which may impair the function and appearance of
the CW series switches.
Panel Mounting
First remove the contact block and then the locking
ring from the operator. Insert the operator into the
panel cut-out from the front, tighten the locking ring
from the back, then install the contact block to the
operator.
Mounting Hole
1. Mounting hole dimensions are in compliance with
IEC60947-5-1.
2. If the anti-rotation projection is removed from
the bezel, CW series switches can be mounted
in ø22.3mm mounting holes. To remove the anti-
rotation projection, remove the gasket and use
cutting pliers to break the projection.
Removing and Installing the Contact Unit
1. To remove the contact block from the operator,
push the yellow locking lever and turn it to the
left.

2. To install, align the TOP marking on the operator
with the TOP marking on the contact block mount-
ing adaptor, and turn the locking lever to the right.
Installation in Panel Cut-out
Remove the locking ring from the operator. With the
anti-rotation projection on the operator aligned with
the recess in the mounting hole, insert the operator
into the mounting hole. Tighten the locking ring from
the rear of the panel.

Note for Panel Mounting
When installing the operator in a panel cut-out,
use the optional locking ring wrench (MW9Z-T1) to
tighten the locking ring to a recommended tighten-
ing torque of 1.2 N·m. Do not use pliers and do not
tighten excessively, otherwise the operator may be
damaged.
Illuminated Pushbuttons and Pilot Lights
Removing the Lens
To remove the lens from an illuminated pushbutton
or pilot light, insert a at screwdriver under the
ange of the lens at 90° from the TOP marking and
twist the screwdriver.
Do not insert the screwdriver too far and do not ap-
ply excessive force to the lens, otherwise the bezel
surface may be damaged.
