Changing the Installation Position
of the Actuator
By loosening the Allen-head bolt on the
actuator lever, the position of the actua-
tor can be set anywhere within the 360

actuator lever comes in contact with the
top of the indicator cover, so use caution
when rotating and setting the lever.
When the lever only moves forwards and
backwards, it will not contact the lamp
cover (except for long-life models).

Changing the Orientation of the Head
By removing the screws in the four cor-
ners of the Head, the Head can be set
in any of the four directions. Be sure to
change the plunger for internal opera-
tions at the same time. (The operation-
al plunger does not need to be
changed on general-purpose and high-
sensitivity overtravel models.) The roll-
er plunger can be set in either two po-
sitions at 90°.
WLCA2-2N and WL01CA2-2N can be
set only in either the forward or back-
ward direction.

One-side Operation for General-purpose and High-precision Switches
The output of the Switch will be
changed, regardless of which
direction the lever is pushed.
The output of the Switch will
only be changed when the lever
is pushed in one direction.

Cam Direction Changing Procedure for Overtravel, 90° Operation Switches
Changing the Operating Direction
By removing the Head on models
which can operate on one-side only,
and then changing the direction of the
operational plunger, one of three oper-
ating directions can be selected. For
overtravel 90° operation models, one
of three operating directions can be se-
lected by loosening the rubber holder
using either a coin or a flat-blade
screwdriver and changing the direction
of the internal rubber section.
Loosen the cam holder with a
coin or screwdriver. Take out
the cam from the Switch.
Change the direction of the cam as
required by your intended operation
and then reinstall the cam.
