Series JW
High Inrush 10 & 16 Amp Rockers
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING & STORAGE FOR JWMW/LW (PANEL SEAL TYPES)
Operating Environment
• Do not install switch where heavy dust collection occurs. Dust build-up under rocker may affect switch actuation.
• Do not actuate switch if submerged in water or oil.
B
30°
• Installation is not recommended on horizontal surface in an environment where frequent splashing of
water may occur. In such an environment, a minimum 30° angle installation is advisable. If there is
a possibility of freezing, install vertically so no moisture will be retained within switch housing.
Panel Mounting
Incorrect
Correct
• Before snapping a switch into the panel, align the gasket evenly under bezel of the switch.
• When mounting into a panel, apply equal pressure to sides of bezel and insert parallel to panel.
• After mounting a switch, be sure there are no gaps between switch and panel.
Lightly push into panel.
• After installing into panel, do not apply excessive force.
• After panel installation and wiring is completed, do not apply force horizontally
or vertically from behind panel.
Clean Edges
• Behind the panel, cut area should be squared. If front of panel is painted, do not allow any paint to collect in
corners of cutout to prevent level mounting.
• Avoid reinstalling a switch once it has been mounted in a panel. This may cause deterioration of panel sealability.
