OVERVIEW
This compact vertical limit switch can be used in hydrogen
gas environments. Gas Flameproof and pressure-tight, the
1LX5701 can be used in outside applications.
1LX5701 receives following approvals
KEMA/ ATEX Flameproof approval (Europe)
NEPSI Flameproof approval (China)
TIIS Flameproof approval (Japan)
Internal switches conform to potentially explosive
atmospheres Flameproof structure. Clip-on terminals
screws are used on the terminal plate to facilitate wiring.
Usable in hydrogen gas atmospheres.
A conduit wiring system is used for leading out cables,
making a junction box unnecessary when wiring.

Precautions upon use
1. Before wiring to the switch, the equipment power
OFF.Some operating voltages may cause an electric
shock.
2. Do not leave nor use the 1LX5701 with the covers
and conduit open. Doing so might cause an explosion.
3. The 1LX5701 conforms to IEC explosion-proof stan-
dards. Use in applicable areas in corresponding explo-
sion-proof structures according to the standards of the
corresponding facilities or equipment.
4. To connect to the 1LX5701, remove the four M5
screws with a flat-head screwdriver to remove the
cover, and wire to the required terminals. During this
operation, take care to prevent the power leads from
contacting the switch plunger. Also, take care to
tighten the cover applying sufficient pressure on all of
the screws uniformly, and join the conduit properly.
Failure to do so might result in a drop in explosion-
proof performance.
5. Do not disassemble the switch except when removing
the covers for wiring or when removing the operating
head to change the operating direction.
6. During work, do not allow tools to touch or drop on
the switch. Also, do not use the switch in a damaged
state. If the switch cover or housing is dented or
cracked, replace the body immediately.
7. Only the lever can be replaced. When replacing other
parts, replace the entire unit.
8. The housing, covers and head are made of aluminum
alloy, and finished in gray paint.
9. Use stainless steel screws on externally exposed parts.
10. When connecting the power lead to the terminal plate,
process the ends of the leads using a Weidmuller H
sleeve (Model:H0.75, Order No.:02827.0) or equiva-
lent product.
11. Do not disconnect the plug until wiring is carried out.
12. Be sure to ground the 1LX5701 using the switch earth
screw.
