USER MANUAL D4E-N OMRON

Slim and Compact Switch with Better Seal and Ensuring Longer Service Life than D4E

• Flat springs with an improved lever ratio of the built-in switch ensure smooth snap action and long life expectancy.
• Protection cover protects the built-in switch from dust and oil. Plunger incorporates a tough seal cap that lasts for a long time.
• One touch connector eliminates need for tedious wiring operations and reduces downtime for wiring and maintenance (models with standard, easy-to-use screw terminals are also available).
• Minute load model with gold cladding is optimal for electronic control.
• Molded terminal types as well as molded terminal types with operating indicator lamps are available for screw terminal systems.
• No difference in mounting pitch and characteristics between D4E- N and D4E models.

■ Molded Terminal Models

The molded-terminal model is available with right-hand, left-hand and underside leads and is recommended for use where the Switch is exposed to dust, oil or moisture. It can be used like a screw-terminal model (with a cable), and the dimensions and operating characteristics are the same as for standard models.

Example:

Standard type:

D4E-1A20N

Location of lead output:

Right-hand D4E-1A23N

Suffix by Location of Lead Outlet

Location of lead output	Suffix for pre-wired terminal
	COM, NC, NO
(1) Right-hand	D4E-☐☐23N
(2) Left-hand	D4E-☐☐24N

Lead Supplies

Leads	Nominal cross-sectional area	Finished outside diameter	Terminal connections	Standard length
V.C.T.F. S-FLEX (vinyl cabtire coat)	0.75 mm²	3 conductors	Black: COM	3 m
		7 mm dia.	White: NO Red: NC

Comparison between Old and New Mold Terminal Models

The D4E-N and D4E are different from each other in terminal specifications.

Location of lead output	D4E-N	D4E
Right-hand	D4E-☐☐23N	D4E-☐☐21
Left-hand	D4E-☐☐24N	D4E-☐☐23
Underside	---	D4E-☐☐22

■ Operation of Indicator-equipped Models

The operation indicator is designed to illuminate when the Switch is not operating. (Because of the molded terminal model, any change to the Switch wiring cannot be made.)

AC Operation

A neon lamp indicator is provided.

The operating voltage is 90 to 250 VAC.

There is no difference in operating characteristics between D4E AC Models and corresponding D4E Standard Models.

There is no difference in dimensions between D4E AC Models and D4E Standard Models.

Example:

Basic type: D4E-1A23N

When placing your order for the molded terminal model with an neon lamp operation indicator, specify the model number as D4E-1A23LN.

Internal Circuit

DC Operation

LED indicator is provided.

As a rectifier stack is incorporated, into the unit and no directionality exists for connection of + and - , this type can also be operated on AC.

Voltage ratings of LED indicators are as shown in the table below.

Internal Circuit

Note: *An external 24VDC power supply can be used, eg. OMRON S8VS.

Type	Voltage rating	Lamp current	Internal resistance
L1	12 V	Approx. 2.4 mA	4.3 kΩ
L2	24 V	Approx. 1.2 mA	18 kΩ
L3	48 V	Approx. 2.1 mA	22 kΩ

Example:

When ordering a D4E DC Model, add the following suffix to the model number.

Basic Model: The model number of the D4E-1A23N with a built-in 12-V LED indicator is D4E-1A23L1N.

Refer to the Technical Information for Limit Switches (Cat. No. C121).

Correct Use

Do not solder the screw terminals.

Sealing materials may deteriorate when used outdoors or when exposed to cutting oil, solvents, or chemicals. Check this on actual equipment and, if deterioration is foreseen, consult your OMRON representative in advance.

If the one-touch connector is to be mounted onto the switch body, lightly push up the fitting so that the switch body can then be inserted into the clamp.

Be sure that the clamp is inserted to the full depth, because the Switch will not function properly if one of the clamps is improperly inserted.

If the clamp is properly inserted up to the full depth, it will not slide out easily. Be sure to carefully confirm all the above items.

Be sure to connect a fuse with a breaking current 1.5 to 2 times the rated current to the Limit Switch in series in order to protect the Limit Switch from damage due to short-circuiting.

When using the Limit under the EN ratings, use a gl or gG 10-A fuse that conforms to IEC260.

Mounting

Secure the Switch with two M4 screws and washers. The tightening torque applied to each terminal must be 1.18 to 1.37N· m . Tighten the screws to the specified torque. An excessive tightening torque may damage the Switch and cause a malfunction.

Mounting Holes

When mounting the panel mount-type Switch with screws on a side surface, remove the hexagonal nuts from the actuator.

When mounting the panel mount type on a panel, tighten the hexagonal nuts of the actuator to a torque less than 7.85 N·m.

Mounting Hole

Operating method, shape of cam or dog, operating frequency, and the overtravel (OT) have significant effect on the service life and precision of the Limit Switch. Make sure that the shape of the cam is smooth enough.

Check that OT has a sufficient margin. The actual OT should be rated OT × 0.7 to 1.

Do not change the operating position by remodeling the actuator.

Wiring

When wiring screw terminals, M3-size round solderless terminals with an insulation tube is recommended. The conductor size should be 0.75mm^2 and cable diameter should be 7mm .

Refer to the following when wiring.

dz dia.: 3.2

D dia.: 1.9

B: 5.2

L: 16.4

F: 5.8

l: 8.0 (mm)

Wiring Method

Tightening Torque

A loose screw may result in a malfunction. Be sure to tighten each screw to the proper tightening torque as shown below.

No.	Type	Torque
1	Terminal screw (M3)	0.24 to 0.44 N·m
2	Switch mounting screw (M4)	1.18 to 1.37 N·m
