2. Operation principal
Limit switch box mounts to an actuator via mounting bracket, usually sold
separately. The unit shaft directly couples to actuator shaft via NAMUR adaptation,
or via coupling provided in mounting kit.
As actuator rotates the unit shaft, adjustable cam on the shaft actuate mechanical
or proximity switches inside the unit enclosure, at the limits of rotary travel set by
the customer.
The switches are prewired to terminal strip in the enclosure, permitting easy
connection of switch output to external electrical monitoring system or indication
devices.
The visual indicator on the enclosure cover indicates 900 rotary travel between
OPEN & CLOSED valve position, unless ordered optionally for other angular
strokes or 3-way valve application.

4. Installation procedure
The equipment must be installed in the accordance with the laws, guide lines and
rules applicable within the country.
WARNING:
Ensure that Supply Voltage should not exceed more than > 20 % of Rated
voltage. (for current and voltage ratings refer catalogue)
No mechanical rework allowed by customer. Mechanical rework will increase
clearance will increase between Housing and cover.
Do not open cover / cable gland when limit switch is under operation or in
energized condition.
CAUTION:
The current and voltage limitation has to be observed as per the tag
plate.
The wiring and connection should be carried out with proper gland
and care should be taken to avoid water seepage.
Confirm the area is non-hazardous before opening the cover of the
enclosure for making electrical connections.
The plugs given along with box are to be removed and metallic plug
to be used.
Ensure cable gland is properly fitted using sound engineering
practice ensuring that rain water / other fluids do not enter in the
limit switch box.
The person who operates the limit switch should have enough
knowledge of electrical engineering.
RTX-IOM-LS-R02-0416 Page 8 of 42
www.rotexautomation.com
NOTE:
The box should be left in the original packing until it is required for the use.
It should be stored in the enclosed area with temperature limit 4 o to 40 o C.
Operating temperature range -20°C to +80°C
The limit switch box is installed on the supplied bracket with fastener and left loose.
The box is then mounted on the actuator while taking care that the shaft enters in
the slot of the actuator pinion.
Assembly of limit switch and actuator should allow the play between shaft and
pinion and never between actuator body and bracket. For that while assembling
keep a clearance ‘C’ between shaft and pinion. Where 0.2mm < C < 0.5mm
RTX-IOM-LS-R02-0416 Page 9 of 42

Connect the wiring through the cable gland required by the cable diameter. And
connect the wires to the terminal strip. Take care to check the symbols on the PCB.
The switch 1 is at the bottom and switch 2 is at the top. Correspondingly the COM1,
NO1, NC1 are corresponding to the switch1
The top cam is red in colour and is to be used for closed position this red cam has
to be rotated clock wise to actuate the switch for closed indication.
Similarly, the bottom cam is yellow in colour and is to be used for open position
cam has to be rotated counter clock wise to actuate the switch for open indication.
Actuate the assembly so as the valve closes.

5. Testing of micro switches
5.1. Initial check up before testing micro switches
1. Ensure voltage is 8 v / 24v in open wire (PLC/DCS output) before connecting to
COM & NO terminals.
2. Connect both wires to COM & NO terminal. There should not be any loose
connection.
3. Ensure target (metal) should be in front of the switch sensing area (adjust both cam
accordingly with respect to valve operation).
NO sensors – When target is far away, voltage NO sensors – When target in front of switch,
shows 24 volt voltage drops

www.rotexautomation.com
6.3. Testing of proximity sensors (by measuring current)
1. Connect multi-meter (Mili-ameter) in series with COM/NC terminal
2. For NO switch – Ensure current should be low (or zero) when target is away.
When target in front of switch, full load current should be there.
3. For NC switch – current should be low when target is in front of the switch.
When target is far away, full load current should be there.
NO sensors – When target is far away, current NO sensors – When target is in front of the
shows 0 mA switch, current value is 33.3 mA (as per load)
7. Maintenance
CAUTION for IP67 / IP68:
Ensure cable gland is properly fitted using sound engineering practice
ensuring that rain water / other fluids do not enter in the limit switch
box.
The plugs given along with box are to be removed and metallic plug to
be used.
Tighten the cover bolts fully to avoid water seepage inside the limit
switch box.

11. Assembly
CAUTION for IP67 / IP68:
Ensure cable gland is properly fitted using sound engineering
practice ensuring that rain water / other fluids do not enter in the
limit switch box.
The plugs given along with box are to be removed and metallic plug
to be used.

switch box.
Use UCIL SYNCHEM make GRIP SEAL CABLE JOINING COMPOUND
or equivalent to seal cable gland. For precaution & application of
sealing compound use original manufacturers operational manual.
NOTE:
Follow the sequences as given below to ensure proper assembly.
ROTEX recommends “ROTEX V09” grease for greasing. Apply the grease
with soft brush or similar.
1. Install the shaft in housing with grease as a lubricant. Install the circlip. Check
the rotation by hand and check for the play. The play should be less than
0.05mm. If play is more it is not safe to install the box.
RTX-IOM-LS-R02-0416 Page 33 of 42
www.rotexautomation.com
2. Install the PCB/ switch/ sensor and switch cover, fasten the screw to ensure the
no movement of PCB is possible. This may cause the faulty signal. Rotate the
cam to ensure that the cam is showing the valve positions correctly. Check the
mating surface of cover and housing there should not be any mark within the
flame path area. It is important if the surface is found faulty must be consulted
with expert on EN norms to certify the usage.
