3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the reliable operation of the IDEC ASLW212620S selector switch.
3.1 Panel Mounting
- Ensure the control panel has a 22mm diameter cutout for the switch.
- Insert the switch actuator assembly through the front of the panel cutout.
- Secure the switch to the panel using the provided mounting nut and washer on the rear side of the panel. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Attach the contact block(s) and lamp holder (if separate) to the rear of the switch assembly, ensuring they are correctly oriented and locked into place.
3.2 Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your specific contact block and lamp holder for detailed connection instructions. General guidelines are as follows:
- Ensure all power is off before wiring.
- Connect control circuit wires to the appropriate terminals on the contact blocks.
- Connect power for the illumination lamp to the lamp holder terminals, observing correct polarity if applicable.
- Verify all connections are secure and free from shorts.
4. Operating Instructions
The IDEC ASLW212620S is a two-position selector switch. Its operation is straightforward:
- Position Selection: Rotate the switch actuator to select between the two available positions. Each position corresponds to a specific state of the connected control circuit.
- Illumination: The integrated lamp will illuminate when power is supplied to its terminals, providing a visual indication of the switch's status or the circuit's condition, depending on how it is wired.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your selector switch.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic components or markings.
- Inspection: Periodically check for loose mounting nuts, damaged wiring, or signs of corrosion on terminals. Ensure the actuator rotates smoothly between positions.
- Lamp Replacement: If the illumination lamp fails, replace it with a lamp of the same voltage and type specified by IDEC for this model. Ensure power is disconnected before replacing the lamp.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your IDEC ASLW212620S switch, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Switch Not Actuating Circuit:
- Check wiring connections to the contact blocks.
- Verify the contact block is correctly attached and functioning.
- Ensure the switch actuator is fully rotated to the desired position.
- Illumination Not Working:
- Check power supply to the lamp holder.
- Verify wiring connections to the lamp holder.
- Inspect the lamp for damage or burnout; replace if necessary.
- Ensure the lamp holder is correctly installed.
- Stiff or Loose Actuator:
- Check for foreign objects obstructing movement.
- Ensure the mounting nut is not overtightened or too loose.
- If the issue persists, the switch mechanism may be damaged and require replacement.
