Troubleshooting

Switch not changing state

Verify that the rotary handle is fully engaged in one of the two positions. Check wiring connections to ensure proper circuit continuity.

Green signal lamp does not illuminate

Confirm that the correct voltage is applied to the lamp circuit. Check for loose wire connections at the lamp terminals or the power source.

Difficulty turning the rotary handle

Ensure no obstructions are present around the switch. Check that the switch is properly mounted and not under mechanical stress from adjacent components.

Switch feels loose in the panel

Tighten the mounting hardware securing the switch to the control panel. Ensure the panel cutout diameter is within the specified 22.5mm range.
