Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum switching current of the ME-8166?
The switch can handle up to 6 A (2 A inductive) at AC 380 V and up to 10 A (4 A inductive) at AC 250 V, making it suitable for small-current control circuits.
How do I adjust the roller lever angle?
Loosen the small retaining screw on the lever arm, rotate the roller to the desired position, then re-tighten the screw. This allows fine-tuning of actuation points along your machine’s moving part.
Can the ME-8166 be mounted in any orientation?
Yes. The robust metal and resin body supports horizontal, vertical, or inverted mounting. Ensure the roller engages the moving part smoothly without binding.
