Magnetically Operated Switches
In order to obtain optimum performance and long life,
magnetically operated limit switches should not be subjected
to:
(1) strong magnetic fields,
(2) extreme temperature, and (3) excessive ferrous filing or
chip buildup.
Improper wiring may damage or destroy the switch. The
wiring diagram, along with the listed power ratings, must be
carefully observed before connecting power to the switch.
Lower power switches are designed for signaling electronic
circuits. Do not use on relay loads or with incandescent
bulbs. Resistive loads only.
Application Recommendations and Precautions
To provide maximum reliability.
1.Always stay within the specifications and power rating
limitations of the unit installed.
2.Primary and control circuit wiring should not be mixed in
the same conduit. Motors will produce high pulses that will
be introduced into the control wiring if the wiring is carried
in the same conduit.
3.Never connect the switch without a load present. The
switch will be destroyed.
4.Some electrical loads may be capacitive. Capacitive loading
may occur due to distributed capacity in cable runs over 25
feet. Use switch Model CS7-24 whenever capacitive
loading may occur.
Reed Switch Working Principle
Reed switch sensors contain hermetically sealed reed
elements (mechanical contacts) which are open in their
normal state. When a magnetic field moves within proximity
of the switch, magnetism is induced into the leads and
forces the contacts to close.

Solid State/Magnetoresistive Working Principle
The solid state (no moving parts) magnetoresistive sensor
responds to a parallel magnetic pole by providing a digital
signal to the output control circuit. This technique enables the
sensing of weak magnetic fields, with no limit to the
maximum strength of the magnetic field. Norgren solid state
switches are similar to the Hall effect switch.
