Safety Precautions
Refer to
Safety Precautions for All Limit Switches.
Precautions for Correct Use
Operating Environment
•
Seal material may deteriorate if a Switch is used outdoor or where
subject to special cutting oils, solvents, or chemicals. Always
appraise performance under actual application conditions and set
suitable maintenance and replacement periods.
•
Install Switches where they will not be directly subject to cutting
chips, dust, or dirt. The Actuator and Switch must also be protected
from the accumulation of cutting chips or sludge.

Note: Do not use wires containing silicone, otherwise a contact failure may
result.
•
Constantly subjecting a Switch to vibration or shock can result in
wear, which can lead to contact interference with contacts,
operation failure, reduced durability, and other problems.
Excessive vibration or shock can lead to false contact operation or
damage. Install Switches in locations not subject to shock and
vibration and in orientations that will not produce resonance.
•
The Switches have physical contacts. Using them in environments
containing silicon gas will result in the formation of silicon oxide
(SiO
2
) due to arc energy. If silicon oxide accumulates on the
contacts, contact interference can occur. If silicon oil, silicon filling
agents, silicon cables, or other silicon products are present near the
Switch, suppress arcing with contact protective circuits (surge
killers) or remove the source of silicon gas.
Applicable Solderless Terminal
The following solderless terminals are available. Do not use fork or
any other type of terminals, otherwise an accidental disconnection
resulting in a ground fault may result.

Wiring
Wiring Procedure
1. Loosen the cover mounting screws and remove the cover.
2. Disconnect the rubber connector from the box conduit and crimp a
solderless terminal. The following solderless terminals are
available.
3. After inserting the solderless terminal into the Switch, tighten the
terminal screws securely.
4. After wiring the Limit Switch, insert the rubber connector into the
groove of the box securely.
5. Tighten the three mounting screws evenly. The optimum tightening
torque for each screw is 0.49 to 0.59 N·m.

each screw is tightened to the proper torque.

Mounting
To mount the Limit Switch securely, be sure to use two M5 Allenhead
bolts and washers.
The tightening torque applied to each bolt is 4.90 to 5.88 N·m. To
mount the Limit Switch more securely, use two M5 screw holes on the
rear panel and rear holes for positioning if the model is the HL-
5@@@G-Series Limit Switches.
Mounting holes
Two, 5.2-dia. holes (located
diagonally for securing the rear side)
Others
•
Do not use the Limit Switch outdoors, otherwise the Limit Switch will
become damaged by rust or ozone.
•
The Limit Switch is not suitable in places exposed to the spray of
rainwater, seawater, or oily water. Consult your OMRON
representative for models resisting rainwater, seawater, and oily
water.
•
If high-sealing performance is required along with shielded wiring or
conduit wiring, use the D4C or WL.

Using the Switches
Actuator Position Change
(HL-5000, HL-5030, HL-5050)
To change the angle of the actuator, loosen the Allen-head bolt on the
side of the actuator lever. Then the actuator can be set at any angle.
Head Direction Change
(HL-5000, HL-5030, HL-5050, HL5200)
To change the head direction, loosen the two mounting screws. Then
the head can be changed at 90° increments in one of four directions.
