1. Device description
Limit switch boxes serve as position feedback and control unit of valves that are operated by pneumatic part turn actuators. The shaft of the
limit switch box is connected form-fit to the shaft of the actuator and will turn when you shift the actuator. The cams which are mounted on
the shaft of the limit switch box will then activate the switches which are responsible for the transmission of the electrical signal.
Depending on the model, the wave limit switch boxes contain 1 to 4 mechanical micro switches or inductive proximity switches, 1-3 slot type
sensors, 1 dual sensor, 1 potentiometer or 1-2 pneumatic switches. Additionally certified intrinsically safe proximity switches can be
installed.
2. Intended use
The standard big-box limit switch boxes from EUROTEC are suitable for use in non-hazardous areas. In case of installed intrinsically safe
proximity switches, the housings can be used in hazardous areas of Zone 1 and 21. In that case the part number will have an “-IA” included.
The ambient temperature range depends on the housing material and the integrated switch type. It is indicated on the referring technical
data sheet and on the product label.
3. Labeling
The product label on the housing is shown in figure 1. Each switch type has it’s own label. The serial number is to be found below the CE
symbol. It contains the year of manufacture and the referring production number.

Verify if the classification on the label is appropriate to your application.
Please consider the respective national regulations and legal requirements, as well as the requirements of the manufacturer and the
generally accepted rules of technology.
Please take appropriate measures to avoid accidental activation and improper external influence.
Do not remove possibly existing cable entry devices until inserting the cables to ensure that any dirt remains outside the limit switch box.
Ensure an adequate strain-relief for the supply cable or a static installation.
Protect the equipment and cables effectively from any damage.
Avoid static charging of plastic parts and cables. Thereto clean the equipment only with an antistatic or wet cloth.
Connect all conductive metal parts, including accessories, to the potential equalisation.
