2. Key Features
- High-Quality Components: Features a small size, double-spring structure, strong conductivity, and solid construction for extended mechanical life.
- Durable Materials: Constructed from strong plastic and high-quality metal, making it waterproof, oil-resistant, dustproof, electricity-resistant, compact, strong, and corrosion-resistant.
- Sensitive Detection: The direct pressure on the piston triggers a rapid change in the switch state, enabling real-time signal transmission.
- Stable Performance: Optimized tail design, improved sealing, and a convenient conduit design facilitate easier wiring, ensuring stable performance and sensitive induction.

3. Setup and Installation
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical codes and safety regulations. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation or maintenance.
Mount the switch securely in the desired location, ensuring the piston mechanism is aligned to be actuated by the moving object. The switch can be mounted using appropriate screws through the designated mounting holes.
Connect the electrical wiring to the terminals. The switch provides Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts. Refer to the wiring diagram for correct connections based on your application requirements.

4. Operating Principles
The TZ-8111 operates on a direct-pressure piston mechanism. When an external object makes contact with and applies sufficient pressure to the piston, the internal contacts of the switch change state. For example, a Normally Open (NO) contact will close, and a Normally Closed (NC) contact will open.
As a self-resetting switch, once the pressure on the piston is removed, the piston automatically returns to its original position, and the electrical contacts revert to their initial state. This makes it suitable for applications requiring momentary detection or position sensing.
5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of the DEWIN TZ-8111 limit switch, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, wear on the piston, or loose mounting.
- Cleaning: Keep the switch clean and free from excessive dust, oil, and moisture. While the switch has an IP65 rating, maintaining a clean environment helps prevent premature wear.
- Connections: Verify that all electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TZ-8111 limit switch, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Switch Not Actuating:
• Check for proper alignment of the activating object with the piston.
• Ensure the piston is not obstructed or jammed. - Intermittent Operation:
• Verify all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated.
• Inspect the switch body and piston for any damage or excessive wear. - No Electrical Signal:
• Confirm the power supply to the circuit is active.
• Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the switch contacts when actuated and unactuated to confirm internal functionality. - Environmental Factors:
• Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Extreme conditions can affect performance.
