Operation

Note:

The switching elements and the le-

vers required to activate them react 
to temperature fluctuations. To ensure 

reliable switching, the switching hys-
teresis between the mechanical stop 

(e.g. plug in the seat) and the switch

-

ing point of the limit switch must be 
larger than the displacement of the 
switching point caused by the tem-

perature change.

Distance between switching points for 

100 mm lever:

Contact SC3,5-N0-YE   ≥ 2 mm,
Contact SJ3,5-SN 

  ≥ 0.75 mm.

With other lever lengths, adjust the switching 
point to the changed lever length.
For example, if the lever length changes from 

100 to 160 mm, the distance between the 

switching points is increased from 2.0 to 

3.2 mm correspondingly.

Simplified adjustment of the inductive limit 

switches:
Valve CLOSED:

Close the valve until the plug sits in the seat.

Valve OPEN:

Move the valve to the desired travel position, 

e.g. final position.

 

Turn the adjustment screw (3.1) to slowly 
move the metal tag (4.1) towards the 
contact until the switching point is 
reached.

 

Turn the adjustment screw in the opposite 
direction to achieve that the switching 
point reaches the stop after

If the adjustment is performed carefully, the 
distances between the switching points speci-

fied above apply.

Type 4746-x3 and 

Type 4746-04

 

Î

For adjustment, the cam disk (4.2) has to 
be positioned in such a way that its cam 
moves towards the roller (6.1, Fig. 1) in 
accordance with the direction of travel.

1.  Move the valve to the desired switching 

position (e.g. final travel position "valve 
OPEN" or "valve CLOSED").

2.  Adjust the switch which is assigned to the 

upper or lower switching point.

3.  Turn the adjustment screw (3.1) until the 

cam of the cam disk (4.2) reaches the 
roller (6.1, Fig. 1) and the switch chang-
es over.

4.  To accurately check the switching point, 

move the valve slightly back and then 
move it to the switching position again.
