Product Information
Full details
This Telemecanique Sensors Osiswitch Classic limit switch (XCKJ10559) is designed for industrial environments requiring robust mechanical control. It offers reliable operation with a durable metal housing and an adjustable swing lever actuator, making it suitable for detecting machine position or end-of-travel. A key benefit is its IP66 protection rating, safeguarding against dust and water ingress. However, it is important to note that this model is not designed for safety-critical functions or explosion-proof applications.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does IP66 protection mean?
IP66 indicates that the switch is protected against dust ingress (6) and protected against strong jets of water from any direction (6).
Can this switch be used for emergency stop circuits?
No, this limit switch is not designed or certified for safety-related functions like emergency stops. It should only be used for standard control applications.
How do I adjust the swing lever actuator?
The swing lever is typically adjustable in length and angle. Refer to the specific product documentation for detailed adjustment procedures, which often involves loosening screws and repositioning the lever.
What type of cable gland should I use?
A PG13 cable gland is required for the cable entry. Ensure the gland is rated for the cable diameter and environmental conditions.
What is the operating temperature range?
The switch operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C.
What are the contact ratings?
The rated operation current (Ie) is 3 A at AC-15, 230 V, and 0.27 A at DC-13, 230 V.
Can I reverse the contact function from NC to NO?
This switch comes with fixed 1 normally closed (NC) and 1 normally open (NO) contacts. To change function, you would typically need to select a different switch model or utilize external relays.
Troubleshooting
Switch not activating
Verify actuator alignment with the moving part. Check that the swing lever is free to move and not obstructed. Ensure wiring connections are secure and correct for the NC/NO configuration.
Erratic signaling
Check for loose wiring connections. Ensure the actuator is not vibrating excessively. Clean any debris from the actuator mechanism.
Poor sealing (loss of IP66)
Ensure the PG13 cable gland is correctly installed and tightened. Inspect the housing for cracks or damage. Replace the cable gland if it shows signs of wear.
Switch fails to make/break circuit reliably
Confirm the load current and voltage are within the specified ratings (AC-15, 3A @ 230V; DC-13, 0.27A @ 230V). The quick-break mechanism may be compromised if subjected to excessive shock or vibration.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable metal construction for industrial longevity.
- High IP66 rating ensures protection in demanding environments.
- Flexible actuator allows for versatile installation.
- Standard contact configuration (1NC/1NO) for common applications.
- Wide temperature range supports varied operational conditions.
Cons
- Not suitable for safety-related functions.
- Not designed for explosion-proof environments.
- Requires specific knowledge for electrical connection via PG cable entry.
- Manual adjustment of the actuator may be needed for optimal sensing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure power to the circuit is disconnected.
- Select an appropriate cable gland for the PG13 entry.
- Route the control wiring through the cable gland and into the switch housing.
- Connect the wires to the 1NC and 1NO terminals according to your control diagram.
- Secure the cable gland to maintain the IP66 rating.
- Mount the switch in the desired location, ensuring the actuator aligns with the moving part it will sense.
- Adjust the actuator position and angle as needed.
Compatibility:
- Designed for industrial control circuits.
- Compatible with AC-15 (230V, 3A) and DC-13 (230V, 0.27A) rated control systems.
- Utilizes PG13 cable entry, requiring compatible glands.
- Not compatible with safety circuits or applications requiring explosion protection.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the switch for physical damage or wear.
- Ensure the cable gland remains tight to maintain sealing.
- Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Test the switch function regularly as part of routine maintenance.
