Installation Instructions
Bulletin 802PR — Type LA and Type XA — Series C
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
HAZARDOUS LOCATION SWITCHES — Switches for hazardous
locations meet Division 2; Class I Groups A, B, C, & D; Class II,
Groups F & G; and, Class III requirements. For additional
information refer to Publication GI-2.8 — A Summary of
National Electrical Code Requirements for Hazardous Locations.

SPACING BETWEEN SWITCHES — When installing switches
side-by-side or face-to-face, the minimum spacings in Figure 3
should be maintained.
EFFECTS OF NEARBY METAL SURFACES ON SENSING
DISTANCES — The sensing distance will increase if the
proximity switch is installed so that metal is adjacent to the
sensing head surfaces as illustrated in Figure 4.

WARNING
If a hazardous condition can result from
unintended energization of this device, access to
the sensing area should be guarded.
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 5: Typical wiring diagram
NOTE: To guard against the load remaining energized when the
switch is in an open condition, the minimum load release current
must be greater than the maximum leakage current of the
proximity switch.
GROUNDING — The Bulletin 802PR does not require a ground
connection. The load side of the110/120V AC source can be
grounded as indicated in the connection diagram.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION — A fuse is recommended in the
circuit to provide short circuit protection for the switch. Use a fast
acting Type KAW10 or KAX10 fuse.
SERIES CONNECTED SWITCHES —
Normally Open Fixed Output — Do not connect two or more
of the switches in series. Erratic operation may result.
Programmable Normally Open/Normally Closed Output
— Two switches can be connected in series with a load. For
proper operation, the operating load voltage must be less than or
equal to the minimum supply voltage less the sum of the on-
state voltage drops across the series connected proximity
switches. The load will be energized when the OUTPUT LEDs of
both proximity switches are ON.
