Setting the Set Points 1. Figure the desired set point, in pounds, for each microswitch. In
setting two, three or four switches, set the highest set point first, then
work down according to weight. Any other sequence will cause a
shutdown during the adjusting process.
2. Turn the adjustment screw: In compression models, back the
adjustment screw as far as it will go
away from the switch plunger.
In tension models, turn the adjust-
ment screw as far as it will go into the
switch plunger without damaging the
switch.
3. Apply a load on the unit equal to the desired setting. You must apply
an accurately measured load because the set point accuracy will be
no better than the known accuracy of the measured load.
4. Slowly turn the adjustment screw:
In compression, turn the screw until it
is just low enough to actuate the
switch. Then tighten the jam nut to
hold the adjustment.
In tension, turn the screw until it is just
high enough to actuate the switch
plunger. Then tighten the jam nut to
hold the adjustment.
5. Remove, then reapply the load to check the set point. It is properly set
if the machinery, or the test assembly, functions as planned within
desired tolerances.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 as many times as required to obtain correct settings.
Your Dynaswitch is now ready to use. It is recommended that you double
check your installation before beginning operation.
