Questions about this product
- How do I mount one of these reed switches to my air cylinder?
- These switches are designed to slide into the T-slot or C-slot grooves on the body of most standard pneumatic cylinders. You place it in the slot at the position you want to detect, then tighten the small set screw to lock it in place. The built-in LED helps you confirm it's positioned correctly.
- What control voltage do I need? Will it work with my 24V DC PLC?
- Yes, it will work fine with your 24V DC system as it has a very wide operating range. The switch is rated for 5V to 240V, for both AC and DC currents. This means you can connect it to almost any standard PLC or relay without any issues.
- There are lots of model numbers like CS1-G and CS1-U, what's the difference?
- The different model numbers correspond to the shape of the switch body and how it fits into the cylinder's mounting slot. For example, some are for round grooves and others are for square T-slots. You'll need to choose the model that matches the profile of the slot on your specific air cylinder.
