MATERIAL USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE

BALANCED MAGNETIC SWITCH

If the Balanced Magnetic Switch is to be mounted on ferrous surfaces, the switch should be first mounted in a temporary

manner and tested. If the switch does not function properly, remove the assemblies and reinstall them with a non-ferrous

spacer between the assemblies and the mounting surfaces. The spacers must be sized to keep the backs of the switch

assembly and activating magnet in the same plane. The thickness of the spacers may have to be increased to obtain

proper operation of the switch. If the switch assemblies are to be mounted on non-ferrous surfaces, the spacers may not

be required. However, spacers may be required to insure that the switch assembly and actuating magnet are mounted in

the same plane. Figure 7-1 provides typical spacer designs.
