Instructions For Switch, Terminal Strip and Mounting Bar Replacement

Instructions For Switch, Terminal Strip
and Mounting Bar Replacement
For Linear, Rotary Valve or
Actuator Constructions
IMPORTANT: See separate instructions for Setting
Mechanically Operated or Non Contact Switches.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of
personal injury or property damage, turn off
electrical
power,
before
inspecting,
rebuilding or removing valve position
indicator. Also turn off electrical power and
pressure to related systems.
DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Replacement of SPDT Mechanical Switches,
Non Contact Switches or Terminal Strip with
Mounting Bar
1. Disassemble switches in an orderly fashion paying
careful attention to exploded views. Refer to Figure 1
for mechanical switches; Figure 2 for non contact
switches.
Note: For Series M position indicators (not shown on this
form), when disassembling disconnect switch wiring from
terminal strip first. When reassembling, install switch first.
2. Remove two switch mounting screws, switch and
mounting columns from Switch 1 and Switch 2, (if
present). Note columns are two different diameters.
3. Cut wire tie that secures switch wires to post in position
indicator housing (not present on Series M).
4. For ease of access and wiring, loosen terminal strip by
removing terminal strip mounting screws from center
of strip.
5. Disconnect switch wires from terminal strip.
6. If a new terminal strip with mounting bar is installed
disconnect supply wires and solenoid wires from
terminal strip.
7. Remove mounting bar mounting screws using a 1/16I
hex key wrench.
8. Reassemble mounting bar, terminal strip, switch
mounting columns and switch(s) following exploded
views and wiring diagram provided in position
indicator housing cover.
NOTE: Make electrical switch connections to terminal strip
before installation of switches or terminal strip in indicator
housing.

9. Install new wire tie when reassembling (not supplied in
rebuild kit).
10. Refer to Torque Chart on page 2 of 4.
11. Test operate switches before returning the position
indicator to service.
12. After it has been determined that the switches and
indicator are operating correctly, return power supply
to valve position indicator.
Replacement of DPDT Switches or Terminal Strip
with Mounting Bar
1. Disassemble switches in an orderly fashion paying
careful attention to exploded view. Refer to Figure 3.
2. Remove two switch mounting screws (with
flatwashers), upper insulator, switch and lower
insulator. For dual switch constructions (as shown in
Figure 3), remove spacers, upper insulator, switch and
lower insulator.
3. Cut wire tie that secures switch wires to post in position
indicator housing.
4. For ease of access and wiring, loosen terminal strip by
removing terminal strip mounting screws from center
of strip.
5. Disconnect switch wires from terminal strip.
6. If a new terminal strip with mounting bar is installed
disconnect supply wires and solenoid wires from
terminal strip.
7. Remove mounting bar mounting screws using a 1/16I
hex key wrench.
8. Reassemble mounting bar, terminal strip, insulator
spacers and switch following exploded views and wiring
diagram provided in position indicator housing cover.
NOTE: Make electrical switch connections to terminal strip
before installation of switches or terminal strip in indicator
housing.
9. Install new wire tie when reassembling (not supplied in
rebuild kit).
10. Refer to Torque Chart on page 2 of 4.
11. Test operate switches before returning the valve
position indicator to service.
12. After it has been determined that the switches and
indicator are operating correctly, return power supply
to valve position indicator.
