-he contacts of a switch, especiall burnt or charred contacts, will need to be burnished, filed, or even replaced periodicall to maintain a low resistance contact point.

-he raisin% and lowerin% of a float which is mechanicall attached to electrical contacts ma start motor driven pumps to empt or fill tan.s. -he float switch contacts ma be either normall open contacts /2O0 or normall closed contacts /2$0 and the cannot be submer%ed. -hese rod=operated float switches are also commonl close solenoid valves to control fluids, "igure ' used to open or
+ressure switches use mechanical motion from pressure chan%es to operate one or more sets of contacts. 9 t pical pressure switch usin% a bellows as the pressure sensin% element is shown in "igure ( Other common sensin% elements are the diaphra%m and bourdon tube. Most pressure switches have an adjustment screw to adjust the setpoint.
11
Man times pressure switches come with two sets of contacts, one 2O set and one 2$ set. >hen the pressure reaches the setpoint, one set of contacts will open and the other will close. 5n selectin% a pressure switch for a particular application, each of the followin% should be ta.en into consideration. -he adjustable ran%e. -his is the span of pressures within which the pressure sensin% element can be set to actuate the contacts of the switch. ;or e?ample, a pressure switch ma have a ran%e of 20 to 100 psi. -he adjustable differential pressure. -his is the span of pressure between the hi%h pressure limit which actuates the contacts, and the low pressure limit which resets the contacts to their normal position. 9 pressure switch ma have an adjustable ran%e between 20 and 100 psi with a differential adjustable pressure of onl & to 1& psi. -he ratin% of the switch and contacts. -he ratin% includes the t pe of switch used such as sin%le=pole sin%le=throw, sin%le=pole double=throw, etc. 5t also includes the amount of current and volta%e that the contacts can safet switch. -he accurac of the switch refers to the abilit of the switch to repeatedl actuate at the setpoint. -his value is t picall stated as a percent /E0 of the ma?imum operatin% pressure of the switch /i.e. F 2E of ma?imum operatin% pressure0.

machine or movin% part of a machine stri.es an operatin% lever which activates the limit switch, "igure )
6imit switches can be used either or as emer%enc switches to e,uipment. -he contacts ma be /2$0 and the ma be momentar t pes.
as control devices for re%ular operation prevent the improper functionin% of normall open /2O0 or normall closed /sprin% returned0 or maintained contact
-he installation of limit switches involves pic.in% the best actuator and then mountin% the1 limit switch in the correct position in relationship to the movin% part. 5t is important that the limit switch not be operated be ond the manufacturerGs recommended specifications of travel. 9 mechanical stop as shown in "igure #* should be used to ensure the switch is not dama%ed b the motion of the machine it is supposed to be controllin%.
13
-he basic purpose of the S$* is to function as a switch that can turn on and off lar%e amounts of power. 5t performs this function with no movin% parts that wear out and no points or contacts that re,uire replacin%. -he S$* can be used in 9$ and "$ circuits but it will onl allow current to pass in the forward direction /from anode to cathode0. 5t has an anode /positive0 lead, a cathode /ne%ative0 lead, and a %ate lead. 2o current will flow throu%h the S$* until the %ate lead receives an electrical si%nal. Once the %ate receives a si%nal, the S$* is li.e a closed switch and it conducts current easil in the forward direction /anode to cathode0. -he %ate si%nal
14
the current tries to reverse direction, or the current drops to near Hero.
Once conduction has stopped, the S$* will be li.e an open switch and no current will flow. 9 new %ate si%nal must be applied before the S$* will conduct a%ain. -he S$* is similar to a diode in that it will onl allow current to flow in the forward direction /anode to cathode0 and never in the reverse direction /cathode to anode0.
15
-he most common use for photocells is the photocell switch used to control li%hts between dus. and dawn. 3ssentiall , the photocell switch shown in "igure 1!, acts as a sin%le=pole sin%le=throw /S+S-0 switch that closes when it %ets dar. and opens when it %ets li%ht. +hotocell switches as in "igure 1! can be rated for up to !00 watts and can directl control a set of floor li%hts rated !00 watts or less.
+hotocell switches can also be used in control circuits b usin% a li%ht beam and a photoreceiver to scan across an area to detect the presence of an object. >hen the li%ht beam is bro.en, the photocell or photoreceiver responds b sendin% a "$ si%nal to the control circuit. "igure #% shows the direct scan method of photoelectric detection. -he li%ht source and the photoreceiver are positioned directl opposite each other, so that li%ht from the source shines directl at the receiver. >hen the roll of paper %ets bi% enou%h to bloc. the li%ht beam, the photoreceiver sends a si%nal to the controller which will load a new spool on the paper spindle.

NOTE:
Deep the sensor and reflector lenses clean to ensure proper operation of detectors.
$ountin% products is a common application of photoelectric controls. $ountin% batches or %roups of cans or other items prior to pac.a%in% or %roup processin% is also common.
-he siHe of a paper or fabric roll can be controlled b positionin% a li%ht source and a photoreceiver so the roll diameter bloc.s the beam. ;i%ure 1#. "irect Scannin% Methods
*eflective scan is another popular scannin% method used to detect movin% objects. 5n GG reflective scan, the li%ht source and the photoreceiver are mounted in the same housin% and on the same side of the object to be detected, see "igure #, -his method is used when there is limited space or when mountin% restrictions prevent aimin% the li%ht beam directl at the photoreceiver. 9s shown in "igure #,- the li%ht source reflects off of the reflector and is absorbed b the scannerBreceiver. >hen the li%ht beam is bro.en b the bottles, there is no reflection and the photodetector si%nals the capper to appl the bottle cap.

controller usuall comes e,uipped with a manual override method which can be used to turn the li%hts on at an time.
>hen the li%ht controller contains both the photocell switch and an 5* detector switch, it operates as if there were three S+S- /sin%le=pole sin%le= throw0 switches involved, see "igure 19. -he photocell switch and the motion detector switch are in series such that have to be closed for the li%ht to come in. -he third switch is the manual b pass switch which is in parallel with the series motion detector and photocell switches. 2ormall for the li%ht to come on, there must be motion detected and it must be dar.. "igure $* shows a t pical application and wirin% dia%ram for a popular 5* motion detector with photocell li%ht controller. :esides controllin% li%hts, the same detector could be used to sound a siren, open an automatic %ate, or perform some other automatic function.

-he most popular t pe of pro?imit switch is the inductive *; oscillator t pe which operates on the 3dd $urrent Dilled Oscillator /3$DO0 principle. -he oscillator consists of an inductorBcapacitor /6$0 tuned tan. circuit which %enerates an 9$ ma%netic flu? as it oscillates and emits this field from the face of the switch, see "igure $$ >hen a metal object is placed near the ma%netic lines of flu?, eddy currents are induced in the metal object which in turn disrupts the tunin% of the 6$ tan. circuit and the oscillations die out or are .illed. >hen the oscillations die the inte%rator si%nals the tri%%er to switch the output of the pro?imit switch.

@nderstandin% the classifications and operation of switches and photoelectric devices is ver important to an one wor.in% in the electrical field. >ithout such .nowled%e, the selection, installation, or maintenance of electrical e,uipment and circuits will be ver difficult if not impossible. Switches are classified accordin% to the number of poles, the number of throws /S+S-, S+"-0, and accordin% to their function /i.e. pressure, temp.0. -heir operation depends mostl upon the t pe of contacts involved and the method of operatin% the contacts. Overloadin% is the most fre,uent cause of switch failures. +hotoelectric devices on the other hand are %enerall classified onl accordin% to their function /photocell switch0. -he operation of these devices usuall depends upon complicated electronics which are not readil accessible to the user. ;or photoelectric devices, overloadin% and improper wirin% connections are the most common causes for failure.
